7" tab + 10hz GPS receiver on the way. Head unit, external signal processor, sub and sound deadening to come out. Amp is getting replaced by something smaller and more easily removed.

All in all I should end up with a simple audio system where most of the weight is easily removable, and have inbuilt data logging.

I'm going to ask you about this on Saturday!

~14kg in stereo and wiring removed so far. Still got the sub to come.

Got a chance to be somewhat productive today. Still only really just starting though.

Would continue it tomorrow but I'm instead going to a motorkhana with the MG car club. I think I'll cope through somehow.

What tablet did you go with?

I'm thinking of getting the 7" Google Nexus, but not until I get my Haltech sorted.

I'm keen on your results, are yoi doing it for data logging or timing?

Dell Streak. I would be all over a Nexus but in the end the extra features that it brings just wouldn't get used.

Mainly just timing at the moment but I'm talking to some people in Europe who are building a logging app for the Autronic.

Photos from the motorkhana yesterday. Thanks Tyrie.

Concentrating face.

Brakes work.

Poor inside tyre.

More body roll than I remember.

Wall that was far closer than you'd ideally put it.

Haven't updated this for a while, although I guess that's because I haven't done much...

Interior is still in many pieces. Tablet works but isn't mounted yet.

Skid pan day this Sunday :D

Do you have an LSD in there? Where did you do the skid-pad day?

Nope. A whole bunch of single spinning fury.
Booked a private day with a few friends through Fifth Gear out at the sutton road driver training centre.

Found a nice photo where my housemate and I are both facing completely the wrong direction.

And a decent shot of Carlie in the LE

Also, motorkhana this weekend with the MG car club. You should come Greg.
