Turbo timer good way to overcome potential flooding coming out of short garage?

[scooby_si]

As in bit worried about the potential for flooding when i come out the garage in the morning in that i only go a dozen yards or so before i turn off & lock up. now i\'ve done the lurking thing on a few of the flooding, spark plugs etc threads but i just wondered if any of you just set a turbo timer so it\'s running while you do whatever & then just come back & carry on?
I know there maybe cat1 security implications with a TT but if it saves me having to bugger about with the joys of flooding (when i get a RX7) then i\'m sold

Hello Chap

I have two TT fitted, one I can set for anytime I like, though I have never tried locking the doors with it running cos i tend to use.......

The clifford CAT 1 alarm i have fitted with the TT option, I can set this time to what I want it, lock the doors and piss of for a couple of minutes safe in the knowledge the car is secure

Point One- its better for the car if you warm it up by driving slowly
rather than sitting at idle for ages
Point 2 - can\'t see any CAT 1 issues as its part of the CAT 1 alarm

as long as the car is running for a few minutes its very unlikely you will flood it if you start it again

yeah i wasn\'t 100% with the cat1 thing but my understanding was they did invalidate it :confused: but anyway i have one as part of my defi HUD i have on me scooby at the minute but i dont use it (& havent installed it) as i\'m happy to sit there while it cools down but i\'m definately taking that out as it is one of my favourite toys & in a similar way to not RX7 my scooby has no places to mount gauges so HUD is boss
But back on track TT just seemed good so i ddint have to turn off & on for the minute while im locking garage etc back up in order to avoid flood risking
Cheers for that thou i may get them to do a fubnky alarm thing when i get it installed after importing from Japan presuming i do it that way

Whats the HUD system you\'ve got? saw one ages ago but forgotton who made it.
One i saw just displayed speed, maybe rev\'s as well. What does yours do?

Any web-site links would be great!

Cheers

yeah there are a few mine is the boost gauge & TT as per this nice link  
I luv \'em as in addition to being a bit of a funky toy & a bit different it is also pretty hot as it\'s wherever you want it on windscreen so no need to take eyes off the road safety device

Cheers, was wondering where to put a boost gauge! seems like a good option.

Where abouts did you get yours from? they\'ve got a few shops listed on the website but not many with web pages, and the ones that have havent got any prices:(

[scooby_si]

yeah that was the other bonus as i have the older style scoob interior with no real easy locations for gauges so that avoids such an issue which is seemingly the case on the RX7 aslo
I managed to get mine 2nd hand off scoobynet but the suppliers i know of that do them are Nitosport  & slightly cheaper the last time i looked was scoobymania
