All these different cars

Post by russian »

Here's my vanity thread:

My test vehicle - Ford Aspire (Kia Avella/Mazda 121)

Pure 1.3L of power! What else do you need to practice, right?

If all this gets anywhere, eventually these "technologies" might end up on my "racing" car - it's a Ford Festiva with a 1.8 engine swap

Wow, I bet that thing is fast. I can tell because it's red. Good thinking putting the radiator out the front, that extra weight must be to keep the front wheels on the ground.

You know about Lemons, right, John? :-) LOL @ both.

With the exception of GM's FWD offerings (corsa, vectra, etc), that later festiva in the first picture is likely the worst car I've driven :)

<3 Lemons :-)

If only we had something similar to Lemons here. The closest we have is the Undie500.

That's a stm32f4discovery board and a MCP42010 digital potentiometer - I am stimulating the ECU and see what happens. This fuel map is created with surfaceplotter library:

Festiva got new paint, I'd better hide the old ugly looks :)
