It's a tight fit, I don't know what size it is but I could always bend the side pieces out a little to giv me another inch breathing room. Only downer is that it's not got the head restraint things but it will do

Iv just tried downloading the haltech software and firmware on the laptop iv just bought.... No longer works on Windows 10 64bit

Looks like I'm going to have to look for something else more modern

No on the haltech website where you download the software it says it won't work with 64bit, I'm not great with that stuff, means nothing to me, might have to get old laptop out of the loft to use it, hopefully that ones not 64 bit.

Tbh I am thinking of a new ecu, just makes things easier, I can literally order one with all the sensors and a 6 second tune up already loaded onto he ecu for about 1500 quid, which is a microtech LT16 but I want this ecu to be use able for the car to be used on track and not just drag strip as it will become tiresome not being able to use the car unless it's dry for drag racing lol

The haltech 1500 looks about right for an ecu to do everything you can think of

The e11v2 comes with vga to connect too, I already have a vga to usb adapter.

Just had a look at the adaptronic M1200, looks good. Good price too

Anyone can do the mapping, plus there's plenty of Australians using them so there's map around. I know James has got one of the guys from Puerto Rico to put the map on his microtech LT32 big Bertha ecu. And he just tweaks. With the data log they send back too him

I was looking for pip on Facebook as its not WGT anymore is it
