What do you use the carputer for, is it just for tunes or do you run ECU monitoring software on it too?

with ELM327 kit from ebay/talktomycar.co.uk you can use a laptop/carputer to use OBD shizzle to look at sensor readings/reset DTC's etc. but nothing more than that  (

I have big plans. For now PC is just for MP3's and movies...
But I plan to put VEMS http://www.vems.hu/ and have complete engine monitoring/tuning online, air conditioning center, GPS navigation, TV/FM, etc...

For the front brakes, did the Fiat discs just fit straight on with the calibra calipers, no changes needed? |

Fiat coupe disks are 4x98. Just needed some little adjustment to fit 4x100 hub and central ring (56.5mm to 58mm)... Calibra calipers (GM 54/24 older calibra turbo with 284mm discs) fits perfect on that hubs and disks...

YES!  Just convert 4x98 to 4x100 (that is simple) and make ring to convert central hub from 56.6mm to 58mm...

You mean a spigot ring for the central hub?
Chip: might take you up on that dude! Definitely worth trying out |

Well, english is not my native language... Sorry... 
Last weekend I have been on unformal street race meeting in Osijek, Croatia...
In first movie, I go against Kadet-C 4.0 204kW 920kg race tires RWD and won by half size... He fucked up start... I have 150kw stock, 1200kg FWD and stock tires (pzero nero)... In second try he smoked me by 3 car sizes... 
In second movie I go against nissan 200sx (1.8t not stock) and won by 2 car sizes...

Yes. Thank you...
I had a little accident a few month ago and crashed the hood, so it would look more clean style when I take care of that...
