my SDS failed...

**shwine617** · 6-15-08, 12:56

well i was supposed to go to the track on friday.... I was driving my car and it started to missfire bad. So I turned around to go back home and it just stalled out and wouldn't start. I looked as the screen on my sds and it had a bunch of jibberish on it. Turn the key off, turned it back on and the sds screen was all black. So I towed it home and called sds. He ran me through a bunch of things to check with no luck. Now my sds is on its way to canada. The down time is really killing me because I am running out of time until pinks and I still need the cage put in the car. I just wanted to run it at the track to make sure everything was ok before I put the cage in it.

damn... you have enough bad luck for the whole lot of us. Thanks.

car is up and running again. Turned out to be a bad cable going to the hand held screen making it go crazy and all black. The reason it wouldn't start is because the map sensor was shorted out inside.

Good to hear you got that sorted out.Are you gonna hit the track anytime soon?

**lundgren420** · 6-30-08, 12:56

Awsome, lets see that FE get some air time. Cant wait to see some more great track videos from you man.

That's great to hear it's up and running again. When is the PInks episode again? I can't wait to see you tear it up on there. People are going to be like " Look at that little red car, what's it doing here?" Then you pull an 11 sec pass

Shwine, do plan on switching out of the SDS? Or do you plan on tuning on it for a good while?
