So are you using a lower throttle plate max opening with brake pressed?

When the car is running again I’ll make decisions on what I want everything to do, at the moment I’ve just hooked it up because the haltech recommend I do it when I set the inputs/output to use dbw

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Here's my current assignment, note I've made an effort to not have any temperature sensors on the SPI inputs (learnt the hard way, a few e-mails back and forth with Haltech support).

And this is all I have left to use, pretty much 1x output left for maybe fan control.

@r32-25t you'll find quite a few shops will not hook up the brake input, not saying it's right or wrong - just what I've seen.

I'll most likely get an I/O expander at some stage so I can run:

• Brake Input
• L & R front wheel speed sensors
• Tyre Pressure Monitoring 
• (maybe) a turbo turbine sensor but I don't really need it as EMAP is giving me what I need to know
• (maybe) power steering input, however seems like DBW idle control closed loop strategy is decent enough to stop the car stalling on full lock

Haltech, good job. Sent me the keypad with the plug wired wrong LOL. Was wondering why my wideband kept dropping out. Anyhow, worked out someone was having a bad day at Haltech.

Looks like a perfect fit for the ashtray. Now I really have to get one

After EFR, DBW, 30 and DSG.

Looks really good, do you mind putting up some photos of how it was mounted?

Ahhh..... 😅

It's just sitting there, if one were to accelerate the car the keypad would fall out LOL.

I'm going to buy another astray, snap off the front lid then mount the keypad to the body of the ash tray.

I'd love to see photos once that's done

I will contact that boost international guy, seems to have a plate for a GFB boost controller and 52mm gauges.

assuming r32 and r33 ashtrays are the same, if you provide dimensions of the can pad i could draw up and print something for you.

Hey Damo! thanks for offering your services but I may have just hit up that Boost International guy yesterday and paid for a modified design.

Should be done soon, hopefully it works out how I planned. If not, I'll touch base with you

Should have asked if it fits Stagea as well

[niZmO_Man]

Loving it. Better than BMW

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Because I have some form of brain damage (can't use the words retarded now because that's not 2022 appropriate lol)... I have once again decided to waste more money on this heap of shit.

Nearly fits, just needs a tickle with a rotary tool.

I hope someone likes my clapped out shit box enough to buy it one day so I can buy myself a boring, plain, run of the mill M3.

Seems like the first step towards a Knight Rider KITT cockpit. Though to be honest part of me is going "I don't need, I don't know what I would do with it, but I kind of want it". Especially because the ashtray is wasted space.

Can you turn off the illumination?

Yes you can, the Kebabtech allows you to change the intensity of the backlight.

Also once you affix the labels on, it dims it quite a bit

Looks good, but I can't help but get the feeling that maybe you might consider selling this car if the money was right and then buying a euro, just a hunch? 

OR could it be that you've told us this 40000000000000 damn times 😅

Just list it for sale for the money you would want to sell it, if it sells go buy euro and while it's not selling keep modding this and enjoying it.
