Getting closer........

[Jim Nilsen]

I have been distracting myself for the last week looking for tires and wheels. I found a virtual wheels place I can put a basic pic of a 67-8 Camaro you can make the color of your car and then put the wheels and tires on it, you can even raise or lower the car if you like. www.performanceplustire.com is the place and you have to have java loaded on your computer for it to work. If you don't have java they send you to where you can download it. It was a lot of fun and really enlightened me how what I thought might look good didn't. The big question is to spend more on wheels and less on tires or go with functional wheels and the best tires ?

The ecu from hell is getting a new board and an upgrade !!!!!

Accel called today and after checking everything out they couldn't find anything physically wrong with the ecu or the distributor leaving only some kind of corruption in the board that could be making the timing be bad. So to make sure that I didn't install it back in the car and then find that it was a bad board still that was just updated they made me a deal I could live with and I am having an updated new board and the much newer version of the software. This should get rid of the problem if it was the board and then if I have problems it will have to be from something else. It will run at twice the speed the other processor did and have features I didn't have before. I would have gotten 4.0 instead of 6.0 so it will be worth it I hope. It should be plug and play from now on.

I am hoping to get it back before Xmas and get it installed to here it fire up before the end of the year. I will feel a lot better knowing I can have it all running well before I get started on finishing it before spring.

So check out the tires and wheels and have a good Christmas.
