Guys, Building a evo x for tarmac rally / rallysprint duties. In my other one i put the traditional push pull aeronautical style circut breakers in. Work fine but a bit old school and thought it would see what else is out there. The car runs the motec pnp ecu and diff controller.

Started out when driving in summer, and typically coming up Welshpool hill, car would lose what I figured was fuel or ignition, and engine would literally stop and I would have to pull over. Would wait about 20 minutes, and then car would fire back up again but only last another say 5 mins before same thing happened again. Would repeat over and over until I would manage to get it home. ...

Anyone have the wiring diagram for an Autowatch 446 RLi?

Thanks.

And if you are anything like me, anything other than the lowest couple of brightness settings are usable at night. after watching a video review of the new "Street" dash they have released. They have some pretty cool features like dash dimming through a head light or park brake feed. So i did some googling wondering if they have a tutorial on how to set it up on the old "display only" dashes and...

Anyone found a scantool that will read ODB2 and pre-ODB? My MY11 Liberty is ODB2 of course and I can read that with my current scantool. My GC (2000 STi Version 6 ecu) ecu doesn't appear to be as my current scanner (below) wont work with it, yet it has the ODB2 plug.
