But getting a decent ECU, knowing how it (and your car) works to me is really a minimum requirement. I couldn't go back nor could I ever be happy not knowing, or recommending anything less. Anything less is "probably ok, maybe"

If only you had of applied the same to the rest of the parts! :P

My haltech does all sorts of terrible things, like start first time everytime, drives better then it ever has, gets great fuel economy even on e85, makes good power reliably and has rock solid ignition timing due to the ability to run a crank trigger

Yep what a shit ecu

Brett this point is invalid because any other ECU can do this just fine, it's dependent on the tuner entirely. This is just confirmation bias.

Is the Power FC CAN Bus compatible?

I'm going to guess no. Not everyone has a need for CAN Bus compatibility but it's a deal breaker for me.

I dont think the Autronics do CAN easily, but race technology have some dashes that plug straight in no wakkas. I was pretty pleased with that.

As nice as CAN is its also just one more way haltech and motec can add additional zeros to your invoice.

For a budget No Frills ECU, Adaptronic can integrate to a variety of dashes out there via the serial port.

I kind of have my eyes set on the Dash2 one day, but after a few extra important things such as a cage and fixed bucket seat.

I did :(

True and it kind of locks you into that one thing but gosh damn if I wasn't happy to have my wideband setup and ready to go in about two actual minutes with no wiring. With the amount of work that goes into cars, seeing something literally plug and play and just work was pretty damn sweet for the extra $15 it cost :P

    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal! 
    • You miss spelled bearings...
    • Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p
    • Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
    • @Kinkstaah I've got my list.. but most of them is to do if I ever win the lotto
