Looking forward to it in 18 hours. Even though i need to drive from Caringbah to Smithfield in peak hour but, I am still going to love it.

Haha so was it worth it?? I think it was!!!!

Tha ks alot for everyone who put in time for tonight and hope to see many more to come.

Probly looking at buying Tyres with some spare cha ge. Better not go to to many tech nights or I'll turn my car I to a rocket without still learning how to drive it!!

Ah well hopefully these Tyres will aid that :)

A hge thanks to Mick and the team at NTW for putting on an excellent night (not to mention beer and food).

It was a great turn out as well, the place was pretty much full with over 35 people along to check out what was happening.

I though it was a good mix of information on how tyrs work, how to maintain them, and how to bag out commodore drivers. The highlight for me was learning from Mick that "when the steel belts are sparking, it's probably time to change tyre". That and that Neil adn Charles both remember whitewall, bias-ply tyres.

The next night is on 19 October at Wholesale suspension in Penrith, I'm sure a thread will be up soon

Sean's car was nearly taken out by an errant taxi on the way home.

I only remember how flammable tyres could be. :domokun:

NTW had heaps of staff on just for us! > Chuffed !

So again, many thanks to Mick and all of the guys really!

What do you mean remember - my 1951 Peugeot 203 still has these fitted to it on a set of 16 x 4 factory rims.

This was an informative night with a number of questions answered both during the presentation and the subsequent discussions.

Yeah, the taxi driver thinking that 2 lanes turning at the lights, means that both are his....grrr!!

Was a great night otherwise, great turn out and presentation. Would of been there earlier but was fixing Dave's new clutch!

Thanks Duncan and thankyou to everyone who attended!

I can speak for all of the NTW team when I say that you guys were a great crowd and we would be happy to have everyone attend another night similar to this one (especially those who couldn't make it this time) sometime in the not too distant future.

I hope that everyone who came now has a little more knowledge on tyres and how to get the best out of them!

Cheers, :cheers:

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
