Gary,

Interesting - what was that actually for? (what addons etc.?)

Nine Grand!!!!!!!!!! I hope its £8300 better than an Apexi.

dont know for sure as i cant get a invoice, but from memory, m800, adl, 2 wide band sensors, 2 egt, ?

[Fish]

For the time being I am having to go Apexi, but it WILL  change next year.

By then I should have some good fuel/ignition maps for using on whichever I choose (heading towards Pectel at present).

thats really weird, whats happened to them?

I did make initial contact with Motec UK regarding looking a different business model for dealing with owners clubs. They were very interested but I didn’t pursue it at the time. But if 5 people were interested in a Motec setup I would be able to get significantly better pricing, especially on things like the loom, which usually is batsrad costly for some wire.

Other option is to get someone to bring the HW over in their hand luggage. Motec don’t care about this as long as they sell the ECUs

Hi Bill,

It is funny - the loom itself is actually quite cheap.  It is the making of it to suit your car that costs (labour/connectors/heat shrink).  And it is best to get the proper heat shrinking done also (the stuff they use in the forces).

I got in trouble a while ago with MoTeC UK and Oz for saying that I could get stuff cheaper from Australia - as MoTeC UK pay the duty and all the other odds and sods to get them into the country.

This was around 24months ago.

[Glenn Butcher]

Actually - the anoying thing about it all was that no-one really knows their stuff in the UK with MoTeC on Rotaries.

So I think it is completely fair enough that you can source a complete package from another country - as they will be able to support you across countries no problems.

I think a bit of politics was involved in MoTeC somehow - as I also heard this happened in the US.

Sorry Glen, should have said \'wire is cheap\' but the loom is labour intensive. However a lot of that is setup time.

If there is a market amongst the seriously power crazed then I am more than happy to work on getting the core skills developed here at home. Would force me to buy a turbo finally as well :-)
