Yep, I always say anything can be done with enough time and money. Unfortunately, the time may be more than your lifespan and the money more than your net worth + credit line.

Yes, Kip's stuff is great! It is amazing the number of products Kip has to offer. Top notch products at reasonable prices. I have his cubby and 2DIN. :thumbsup

Now when is Kip going make that Motec conversion harness that is a simply plug and play unit? :lol

Just to be clear for all; this was "only" for the interface harness and now for my information; how long ago was this?

Last year. This was a complete conversion since the 91 Testarossa has a electro/mechanical fuel injection. It is a complete stand alone unit, but since the Ferrari doesn't have wheel sensors there is no interface for traction control or anything like that.

Hi John

Thank you for the clarification

Now as a by-product of your sharing; I enjoy the TRs aka Redheads very much

Thanks Shadowman. While it isn't the same as the GT hearing the 12 cylinders scream is really something. I had consider twin turboing it, but while the engine is willing the tranny just isn't quite there unless you are very careful with it.

Far more than just the flat 12

Now as for altering; I would leave her character as is.

All the best

The character remains, but lots of improvements have been done. I got a chance to ride in a twin turbo Testarossa and yes it was plenty fast, but I thought it changed to much of the original car.

so these gals waiting to be massaged will be the test mules? :wink
Once the system is perfected, is it going to be offered to us, the few, the proud, the GT bunch? :thumbsup

The system is perfected and ready for prime time. The one and only test mule and prototype system is the on my car. My system is fully functional, but is not anywhere of near the same in the quality of workmanship, or quality of the components used. Shadowman's work always exceed the highest expectations and standards.

If I tried meet Shadowman's standards, my car would driven less than even EP's, because it would never be completed!

If you are interested in TC, I encourage you to give Shadowman a call, you will not be disappointed with the results!

Thank you BlackICE for your "wonderful" comments and support.

Now having said this what most people do not know is that we aka you and I worked on this system for the better part of a year with your gal being the platform within which all was tested before it was ready for primetime and for this I thank you as well.

It is IMO as you shared, a phenominal system.

All the best my friend

No more "mules" meant that the testing was completed and the system is now ready for "primetime”.

The system is now being integrated for those folks that recognize the benefit of such a system; for some it is akin to having a second person at the controls whereas for others it will allow for added safety and likely the ability to better exercise the gal.

Thank you for your interest in the thread

TC for Ed by Shadowman

I have the Discovery Auto Traction Control system installed & functioning perfect in my GT. I wouldn't drive a GT without it. One of the absolute best mods I've had done.
