You can run any of the aux outputs the same Jon, software's free to download http://www.adaptronic.com.au/downloadpage/ and a standard micro usb phone type connection on the ecu.

Wari is the old (smaller) software package Eugene the latest version either will do what you want................ I've never needed it but to be on the safe side I always save a dated copy of the current settings whenever plugging in just in case of a computer crash.

Morning Jon,

Reference the fans, whist I have seen the fans work on track as I see the water temp rise and fall, I'm sure that no matter how long I have run the car stationary I've never heard the fans cut in.

That's odd, my understanding on a stock RX-8 is that the fans won't operate if the car is doing more than about 15mph? They certainly should cut in when stationary else the engine would overheat in a traffic jam. I often hear my fans cut in when stuck in traffic.

I can't get it any hotter than 83deg C on scan tool...so rad and esp are very efficient...must admit my FD runs on track at 84 with a koyo...so looks like rew engine much better than renny regards heat....my Westy gets hot very quickly...

Damn, that really is a lot!

Hmm, I reckon is +30kg. So I have to say 33kg... Did I won?

It's the last job...about to do in a mo...I ermm...have lost Clives steering wheel nut...so had a tidy up looking for it...alas no sign of it...
But I've just finished the drawings..
So 99.9% there.
Car will come with the Vosa verified, rac approved. EU regulated cast iron 5 minute no quibble guarantee lol...should be fine I'll be happy when driven hard. Current ratings are good connections all tested...hopefully as reliable as the loom in my Westy . Needed to do drawings as 2 weeks I'd have forgot.
