Yup, the motronic forum seems to be down for the past few days. One of us should check in with Dark and see whats up.
Brian, your engine bay does look great, and super clean motor too. I've been looking for purple power at the past few parts stores I've been to but no luck.

I soldered up my daughter card tonight...
Fun stuff. This card contains the extra circuitry needed to do the following:
More info on the card can be found here...

I intend on adding an active filter adjustable knock sensing circuit in the proto area, along with the "divide by N" speed signal conditioner.

Theres a couple places in there that sell pre made ones. You'd still have to do the install/wiring yourself, but those of use who slipped and fell off the high diving board into the deep end will be able to help

nize, the average car nut is probably better suited to give Vitesse a call. I'm into this stuff on a super-geek level, its just what floats my boat. Definitely not for everyone.
Advantages: Gain intimate knowledge of all thats going on with the engine/control. Cheap. Fun (if you like this kind of stuff). Rewarding (if you get it right).
Disadvantages: While there are some great instructions and people to help, its not all laid out in black and white, you have to figure out a lot for yourself. Larger risk of failure with expensive consequences if you get something wrong. No one to call or hold responsible if that happens other than yourself.

I did the two jobs thing a year ago. I had cash out the **** but no time or energy to spend it!

I tried to get into the IT department; management told I was "owned" by my current department (electrical work) "until they're done with you" and I complained up the ladder until I got to the owner. He agreed with me and told the VP of HR to look into it.
VP was cranky that I went around him and so he dug as deep as he could to find dirt on me. I did one thing wrong in his eyes and BAM! I get my termination papers with 48 hours. Not a soul there can figure out what he thinks I did wrong but whatever.
Could we convince your place to start hiring?
