like i said no hurry. mini usb would be much preferred, please no micro though.

I use google rewards and have like $3.78 of credit. So I'm waiting for one more survey so I can buy that. But it should work with any of them.

I will probably break down and buy it. I also need to test it driving before I determine if its going to work.

trust me, that app is soooo worth $4. its not super accurate, even with a 10hz, but its consistent, so you can compare it to past runs. i find its about 0.2 seconds off on a 1:15 lap. the fun part is video with gforce, speed, lap time, etc data. and it has a virtual dyno which ive never really screwed with.

Does it take video too? I use my gopro for video and put my phone in the center console. Then use something like race render after to combine them.

yes, it data logs while taking video, i use my "gopro equivalent" to take rear footage for my videos. just got another cam so i was thinking of doing a door mount.

it will also call out split times while your driving so you can improve while on course instead of waiting to review the video.

I have a bottle of resbond if you want a few drips. Swing by PRE if you're in the area. Or PM me your number and i may be able to swing by one night when you're working on the car. I live up in NE Portland so you're not too far away.

Alright I might do that. Mobius has some too apparently. Do you have enough to give me a small bottle? I need to pull the head one of these weekends but between midterms and selling my extra smurf I'm running out of town. PM me.

Picked up a sweet cooling panel



Also did more searching and the oil leak is definitely coming from between the head and block. Ed grabbed the gaskets I need from Mazda, and the machine shop can get my head done in a day on friday. So head will be pulled thursday night, cleaned/surfaced on friday and back on for saturday.

Hopefully will be going to the PRE dyno day next weekend and will get some numbers finally.
