SteveR Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Sorry for the half-arsed not fully committed thread title, but would anyone out there be interested in the above? Also my RLTC with the dial adjustor would be available and my Blitz boost controller too. (I thinking of switching to a Solaris as - for one - it'd be easier to make the most of the VVTi) If I go for it, I currently expect these items to be available mid/late December; just in time for a Christmas present perhaps!?

Supradoopa Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I'd be interested in the RLTC mate, if it's going for a good price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Would the money used on a Solaris not fund a trip to nurburgring next year? Something wrong with your priorities Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I think a potential price may help to sway it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hmm, how much are these things new nowadays? edit - just found the motec for £1,675 plus VAT, so £40 shy of £2k then!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 I think the RLTC control unit has the launch control button too, as seen here: http://www.racelogic.co.uk/__Traction_Control/images/adjuster.JPG Again, I've never used it.

Jazzy Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I thought the Motec was supposed to work well on the VVTI's? Is it not worth saving some pennies and just having a play with what you've already got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not worth saving some pennies and just having a play with what you've already got? Yes and no. I'm 99.9% sure I want the gadgetry of the Solaris (e.g. the datalogging abilty - I fancy having a play with that when I'm at tracks). There is more to it than that but underneath it all they are both very capable ECUs so I suppose the toy factor swings it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Are you feeling alright Steve? Getting rid of the best ECU out there, which is already mapped for your car, and swapping it for the current flavour of the month ECU which will need mapping from scratch? Doesn't seem like good a plan to me mate. Why not get the VVTi wired up to the MoTeC and get the mapping tweaked to suit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Everythings not though. Just niggly thinkg I reckon would be easier to sort with the Solaris than the motec. I might be wrong! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Sounds like a good plan to me, does anyone have an M600 feature list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 If you are selling advertise on Racecarsdirect, I had 27enquires when I get a little time I'll forward them on to you Personally I think its a bad idea, for the money spent on mapping you could buy their FBW control or an expander module which basically makes it a M800, The only benefit I can see is the price of the solaris, if you have spent the initial outlay already on the motec theres not really much point:search: I expect resale on the Motec will always be high, expect no less than 1200, and thats very low tbh I sold mine for 1550 - with wideband lambda enabled and advanced datalogging, far too low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolarbag Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Does it have any options enabled? £1400 and you'll have people falling over themselves, £1500 and will probably take around 3weeks to sell, depends on were you advertise it, beware of scammers - I personally would never sell abroad again:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Might worth an email to Chris Wilson as I think he was after a Motec for something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much is it to get what options? I'm not after squeezing every last penny from its sale (miy missis is from Yorkshire, not me ), but helping fund the Solaris would be useful.
