since i noticed this program i bought (eectuner) will take datalogs of me with my tweecer. and give me 1/4 mile run times from it.

it was real last night at. couldnt sleep.
so i figured ok, laptop has a full battery. camera has a full battery. and ive always been extremely curious about my 1/4 times.
I know, id go to the damn track, but i wouldnt pass inspection... since my battery box in my truck isnt bolted to my frame, and its not vented outside the car. but its a optima yellow top. so no worries, which also is so retarded heavy it will never move/bounce ever.

so i go out, dont bash me for being dangerous on public roads.. because i went way way out where i knew nobody would be. and in fact. i didnt see one single headlight the whole time i got to my spot. and the spot is probably 2 miles long. so no worries on being able to stop. or somebody just POPPING out because its a straight road. no turn ins etc.

anyways. my guage cluster starts to flip out because my switch for my headlights came loose, and my dimmer switch has never functioned correctly.. well, how i think it would be wanted to work
but my guage cluster has always lit up. and everything worked fine.

UNTIL TONIGHT.
everything on my cluster flips out.
the backglow wont turn on. and when i turn the interior lamps on with the dimmer switch... my tach goes dead..
so i figured... im all the way out here. and nobody is here for miles.
i made a few runs anyways.

but when i went to check the datalogs... my tach isnt that accurate. flips out. and my mph never got read during the whole thing.

keep in mind i was doing 1/4 mile runs with no tach/speedo.
but my exhaust is loud enough to guestimate what rpm im at and when to shift. i didnt take it to high anyways because i wasnt positive.


i even rigged up my camera to my passenger seat to watch my laptop, so you guys could watch and hear my car.


so mad

and whats even worse. it makes weird noises when i try and turn the cluster lights on and **** is ****ed up.

but when i was hitting speed bumps on the way home.. it would come on normally... then off again. and on and off when id hit bumps.

obviously something isnt right


Well. if you guys are interested in lame videos with some exhaust noises. let me know

Derek

just had to express my frustration
