SidewaysFC

i actually talked to my friend last night who wants to upgrade to the LT10S, which means he can sell me the LT8 ecu and wiring that comes with the LT10S. that might be an option for me, IF you can easily swap over the ecu from an FD to an FC.



other than that, what difference is there between LT8 and LT8S?

you're going to have to get the basemap reloaded, or else someone to put in the correct info before you even start the car.

ok, so it's a software issue? ...i assume MT tuners will have a base map saved for the fc



thanks

as far as i know, the basemap is saved i nto the adapter. not the computer that hooks up to the ecu



so, you're gonna have to try and get the written data down...

ahyc is correct, the maps are stored in the dongle.



The difference between an LT8 and an LT8s is that the LT8s has the most current firmware version, which may see upgrade around December of this year. Firmware upgrades come free to anyone who purchased an LT8s.



You would be hard pressed to find a regular LT8, considering Microtech only manufactures the LT8s now. It would have to be used, and even then, I would reccomend buying an LT8s.



I have no idea when the next group buy will be, there turns out to be alot more interest in this than we initially gauged. Originally, we thought there would be some trouble getting 10 people for this group buy, yet here I am sending out 17 orders, with at least 5 people knocking on my door wishing they got in before the deadline.



I will talk to my contact about future group buys, and see what is going on.



By the by, I just got word from Dale and the ECU's are going out! He said they should be on my doorstep by next Thursday at the latest. After that i will send them out and get tracking numbers for everybody.

Well, it is currently 1:20 AM Friday EST so they didnt come on thursday....



I don't know how long it will take to get across the border. It should be the same as normal UPS ground, shipping from USA to Canada is no big deal

If they was supposed to come in on Thursday, they probably won't be at your door till Friday. Does Aus. celebrate Memorial Day? If not, then they would think Thursday, but since UPS/FedEx didn't run on Monday, it'd actually be at your door Friday. (Today)
