Oldie but a Newbie
Posted: Sun Feb 13, 2011 9:28 pm
Hi,
Les Mellor, live in the recently damp SEQ, north of Ipswich.
As an oldie I am in the Points and Carby era, have a Lotus Cortina that I used in recent years in competition.
Also a self built Clubman type race car powered by a Nissan SR Turbo, bit of a rocket ship.
My road / tow car is a Volvo 242GT fitted with a Borg Warner T5 5speed box and a 740 Turbo engine, the wiring as is common on Turbo Volvos is a real rats nest, amazes me it ever ran.
I will have to atleast rewire it but have the urge to update the EMS to a MegaSquirt set up. Using something different is one of my foibles as you can see by my race cars.
Trouble is get to talk to or communicate with like minded folk who have been down the MS track with success.
Hopefully this is the right step, I have been talking to Ben at DIY Auto Tune and he has given me a list of items with an assembled MS 2 and required items that looks godd as the price.
So hopefully I will get some good advice from you people, one problem is I am not a Computor person, for communication I'm fine but when the Tech talk starts it goes over my my head, no hair to stop at the ripe old phart age of 67. Still to grow up
but very eager to learn and be involved.
With a group like like minded oldies some time ago and the the of topic of when we were going to grow up was raised, it was decided to not to both !!
Thanks,
Les.
PS. Saw a good sticker on a Hot Rod : Growing old is compulsery, grow up is optional.
