Ok then, you get them cheaper if you agree that theyre sold as a paper weight.

I'll have one....
but I doubt we'll get 57 people to buy one..
That was a slight exaggaration

Looks like Tony has said I'll have one
how much?
you know it makes senseLooks like Tony has said I'll have one

I don't have the LM-1 though, nor do I want one... (well maybe I do)
The amount of other bits needed to get the most out of it means I won't use its features. If I were going for the LM-1 I'd want the RPM converter as a minimum so I could relate Lambda to Revs. People like bigtone and Bren should really be data logging against all the features that the Aux box provides because of the high specific ouput of their engines. Mine is nowhere near theirs.
are we going to do this???
Yeah, Ill work out some prices and post in our group buy section
nice oneYeah, Ill work out some prices and post in our group buy section
I'll keep an eye out for it..
If i send mine back, can i be in the group buy to get it cheaper?
Or can u send me some cash and ill ditch the warranty
Is there anyway of bypassing the 9 zvolt battery Bren, cos i want it i somewhere permanent... where i wont be using its original box.
Inside the box is just one pcb and the lcd screen is on flexy wire, so that will be cool, but if i have to take half my dash off every couple of months to change the battery, it would be a pain in the tits
it comes with a ciggy lighter adaptor which bypasses the 9v battery when plugged in so you can wire it in permantly (like wot mine almost is).
It is a good piece of kit and the new software (downloadable from their site) is pretty good too.
A superb bloke on here knocked me up a rev signal convertor for it too for beer money. Another project for John Bennnettt methinks
Thought the siggy lighter thingy was for main power but the 9v was for memory
got me worried there. I've just checked the manual and it's okay:
Do NOT install the 9V battery in the LM-1 when installing it permanently in
the vehicle.
In a typical permanent installation the LM-1 will be powered by switched 12V from the vehicle
(12V switched on when the ignition key is turned on) while its power switch is permanently on.
Because LM-1 automatically switches to internal battery power when it does not detect 12V, the
internal battery would drain quickly while the vehicle is parked. To avoid this, do not install the 9V
battery. The LM-1 will function correctly without it and will be able to record as usual. To
download recorded data, follow the alternate steps described in chapter 9.
It is NOT a good idea to connect the LM-1 permanently to 12V and switch it on before the vehicle
is started. The sensor would heat up to its operating temperature. Depending on the climate and
the senor position in the exhaust, condensation water can form in the exhaust pipes. This
condensation water could then be blown by the exhaust stream against the hot sensor when the
car is started. The resulting heat shock can permanently damage the sensor.
To further protect the LM-1 when installed permanently it is a good idea to power it up only after
the car is started. The starter motor in some vehicles can create voltage spikes of over 100V that
have the potential to do damage. Although rare, this is a real possibility and the LM-1 contains
protection circuitry to guard against it. A relay connected as shown below insures that the LM-1 is
disconnected while cranking. This reduces further drain on the car battery by the sensor heater
and protects the LM-1 against abnormally large voltage spikes.
ooh i dont have that manual, cheers Nick
oh and wiring it to the fag lighter circuit will work fine cos its switched off when the starter is cranking anyway
How much can you supply these for at the moment Bren?
I'd be up for one of these.
Im assuming thats not a serious question?If i send mine back, can i be in the group buy to get it cheaper?
Or can u send me some cash and ill ditch the warranty
Some of your bits have started landing btw, the flywheels here now
Adrian,
Theyre £289 at the moment, theyll be cheaper in the gorup buy
Best hurry up and sort the gb then eh?
Hehe u assume correct
And oooh shoiney bits
butthat means u will want money soon
Aye, we have been spending lots on your behalf
