    Tuning Laptop

    My tuning laptop died today. Looking for something with USB and serial ports. Speed isnt real important either. Obviuosly looking for cheap, but let me know what you have.

    Bob I think there was a local guy selling older laptops refurbed for stuff like this.
    I remember because I was and am thinking of getting a cheap old one just for tuning.
    Maybe search will find it?
    BTW, how'd the car run?

    I hope you didn't lose your data from the track.

    J - I will look into it. These cheap mini Acer's are looking good for what I really do with one. The one I had was HEAVY and only had a 8 gb HD, going to one of them ought to be worth a few 100'ths :D

    Car ran okay but slow. Still no boost in it and REALLY safe on AFR (12.0:1 or fatter). Blew a charge pipe off 1st pass, got two others. Went back today and got some good data.... see next point..............

    I hope not too, but the computer seems DEAD. I got the hard drive out of it and ordered a kit to plug that hard drive into another computer. Hopefully I can save those runs (and my binary editor activation) as those where really clean data logs.
