What are the three nicknames I need to PM? bigdaddyvtec is obvious, the other two are called what? Should be good fun, a full house or near it :-)

Have the car running OK as of today. VERY rough UGLY tune by ear only (it's not a tune at all... really...) but it starts pretty quickly and revs out to what the hole flows (peak of 5k so far):

http://youtu.be/sdm3yVVEXw4

Tomorrow I'll be adding:

  • A Spartan wideband from http://14point7.com
  • Wiring and driver and perhaps some code for drive-by-wire
  • An appropriate output to the fan control relay(s) so it doesn't overheat while tuning in neutral in the garage

Will also be assisting the tuner app author make his app better! It needs some love...

Should be there from about noon on? Hard to say, picking two guys up from the airport and bringing them up.

Details about the "build party" event are here:

http://www.actualnetworking.com/networking-events/seattle-tacoma/Wikispeed-Build-Party2012-12-27

and/or here:

http://wikispeed.org/contactus/

7pm is the official time, but there is a good chance I'll be there messing around a fair bit earlier for the unemployed or shift workers. PM and/or email me if you plan to show up earlier so I can confirm it's OK.

AWESOME night! But absolutely NO RHMTers :-p They missed out. I love the sound of an engine on the limiter! <3

That R18A1 is surprisingly peppy at least in neutral! Vids up at some stage, unsure when.

Back in NZ and completely broke. Today I had a tyre delaminate and upon measuring it, there is over half an inch of a bump in it for about quarter of a turn. You can imagine how this felt at 60+ MPH. The spare was already on the front as the front right had deflated and popped off the rim a week earlier. I can't justify buying tyres for the car (they're just shitty 175/70R13 junk) when I need to buy food with the small amount of cash that I have left while I look for a job. I remember last time when this thread was started, and a bunch of you collectively bailed me out with a bunch small donations added together. That was, and still is, hugely appreciated! If you're still so inclined, now's a very good time to do it again as I'm basically off the road until some tyre-buying-funds come through. Thanks in advance!

I can shoot you some loot Friday when I get paid.

Is freeems getting near the point that a guy like me with no real electronics knowledge, but very handy with a soldering iron could use it?

Fred is indeed looking for a job. Fred needs the capital a good job can provide to take over the world and run all of the big guys out of business ;-) Mean while, milk/bread/tyres are hard to come by. :-(

FreeEMS if you can swing a soldering iron but know nothing about the parts you're laying down, then you could build and install a FreeEMS setup. You could also pay someone else to do the soldering for you. The software side is still messy, but people trying to use it and bitching to the appropriate developer(s) will make that change.

I have done tons of ecu chipping and built a sequential shift light using spoon fed directions and schematic. I don't have much understanding of what the parts do though. As for tuning, I need a decent GUI. I have scratched the surface of binary code, but could never make direct code changes to tune. I need fuel and ignition tables I can adjust.

Table tuning is available, no stress. Windows installers for various apps also available no stress. Initial config takes a bit of setting up, though. But I can help with that.

Other than the fucked tyres, I also run out of bandwidth in about a week. Great. lol.

Sounds good. I wish I could kick you some loot to help, but I'm in the same boat suddenly. Had a roommate flake on me and had to spend 90% of my paycheck on my mortgage. Now I have to figure out how to eat and put gas in my crv for 2 weeks on almost no money.

If you're in dire straights yourself, look after number one first. The next month of fuel, tyres, inet has been covered, mostly by some regulars, however in about a month I'll be in the same boat again unless I've nailed a job of some sort. Fingers crossed on that.

Are jobs of all sorts hard to come by in Spain (or w/e you are now), or are you holding out for a $50 euro/hr job that you can work on FreeEMS coding all day? I know some otherwise decent people that refuse to work for less than double min wage & make their kids starve as a result. IMO doing dishes or cleaning toilets is still a job. Not implying anything, just curious.

In Spain, yes, so I took a job at what I consider minimum wage, which was about 1.5x what my wife was earning, and about 75% of what my first sw dev job paid 7 years ago. Less than that is hard to justify. I'd happily earn less, doing something of less value, but I'm not giving away my talent and skill "for free" to anyone. Anyone except you, that is :-p

Nah mate, I'm all good as of now. Could change in future. Donations still welcome, but not needed for the moment. Appreciate the offer very much, though.

Fuck Spain. I'm back in NZ. I'll cut my passport up soon. Fuck the world, this included. It's only "less shit" than other places.

Fred married a smoking hot Spanish girl.
Truth. Everyone has one regret...

And, it's hard to get a job anywhere when you are Fred Cooke.
LOL :-)

Send me one of these so I can put it on a turbo liter bike please.

Start a thread, on here if you want, about exactly what features you need as a MINIMUM (don't include shit that you don't NEED, and only WANT). Maybe we can work something out. Eventually, definitely.

I bet he would trade one for money.
Or an ugly wife with a heart! :-p I lie, she has a heart. But LOTS of baggage.
