Matt might be squashed in the corner of the dyno pod as we speak,he hasn't rang me yet.
CIW,we always have the option to turn anything off.I'm not a fan of LC,but we will try it out and see.
Tom,50k is slow,we were right at the end of the pit lane at Mallory,like 20mtrs and got up to 48k and then got done at Silverstone,not that it mattered as throttle cable snapped.
There is a lot to look out for in a busy pit lane,never mind the speed as well.
A speedo drive can be taken from the abs ring,so the information from this goes into the ECU,we plug in the laptop tell the ECU what speed we require for it to come in.
Enter pit lane,flick switch,EC1 works it all out,bingo.
I assume you mean the Pit limiter,this is run from the ECU via a speed sensor which is picking up a signal from the ABS ring.
So yes,it can be done with a throttle cable .
Tom,your not far off there.Scary when you write it down,but it's great fun.
Happy Birthday 1yr old:)
Car went back to Matt at T-d-F yesterday for some bits and pieces to be done,launch control,pit limiter etc.should be ready at the end of the week.
Ps,I forgot the steering wheel so had to go all the way back to HQ to get it,thanks Sam for the loan of your Megane.
