first of all, I don't see why it's dumb no matter WHAT the state of the controlled closed off course. So what if it's an abandoned AFB? The point is it's off the road and away from anyone else. Even more so than the strip, the only person who could get hurt is you.
I was told that speed limiters are actually tied into sustained RPM in top gear, if that makes any sense. For instance, my minivan (EEC-V...I think you're Black Oak, so the limiter function MIGHT be programmed differently) would always top out at 4k RPM in top gear. So into the wind (at the abandoned airstrip...cuz i needed that much dmaned room to get up there) I would be at maybe 112 while with the wind I could see above 120. So the variations off of 108 may be due to ambient effects, stick. There is a way to disable the speed limiter temporarily ( i believe i saw it at focushacks) but again that's EEC-V, so i'm 90% positive it won't apply to you. Hopefully Randy and FS will be able to work something out soonish. what're you doing with CF?
See?? ...Thats my thoughts...No one is in danger but yourself, whats the problem?? ...Im glad I have support on it...I think some people just like to cause problems...
As for the speed limiter...I always thought it was tied to the VSS signal...I dunno if ambient affects it, but my speed differences seem to be due to a 'lazy' speedo (my theory, only)...I think it may be somewhat resisted like the fuel guage to keep it from jumping around like its schizo or something...Although, I think its much less resisted, so that people have at least
some idea of how fast they are travelling...I have heard of unpluggin the VSS to disable the limiters, but have never tried it...My truck, I know right where it is (EEC-V), but I never bothered to find it on the Focus...Im also anal-retentive about miles...I have to account for all of them or I freak, so its kind of a no-go with unplugging it for me...For now, at least...
CF?? ...If you mean the carbon fiber thing I was negotiating...Im not totally sure...I havent heard anything since Wednesday, but I was supposed to be fabbing a switch panel for him...So, as it stands, I have a partially laid-up sheet of carbon fiber approx. 8.5 x 3 inches...If you need anything that size or smaller (or larger, for that matter), lemme know, and Ill get on it for ya...
And, just for some FYI...The supercharger project seems to have been moved up in schedule, slightly...Still no definate time-frame, though...But I think you can all see the reason for my interest in removing the top-speed limiter...
I think thats it for now, and I apologize to all legit posters for having to read my tyrade earlier...Some people just annoy me because they think the whole world is below them...
