Yea, it took 35 minutes to pull my computer...

Had to remove the front passenger seat, the Das Sport roll bar/harness/seatbelt hardware, and then unbolt and remove the unit. That's the only thing I don't like about the DasSport Bar in the car. I don't have access to the rear to reach my shocks to set them or to do other things like grabbing the computer...

Oh well... Computer goes out today, I'll get it back hopefully by Friday and will have UMW/Kevin's tune by Monday, if everything goes well!

I understand it's not as good a roll bar, in terms of safety but the task is pretty easy with my Tequipment with cross bar unless you're a very large person. I do it going past GT3 seats and even leave the I/O camera mount in position. I also get to keep my Bose subwoofer. The system is mediocre with the sub but it is horrible without it.

Mike -- Why do you have to send your ECU to UMW? Doesn't Kevin send you a Pocket Programmer that you flash via your OBDII port? Do you have something special going on?

Alpha, I believe it has somthing to do with the previous Upsolute programming.It will lock up the hand held programmer and the ecu needs to be bench flashed to clean it out. The programmer should work fine thereafter....

That's correct. The computer has to be baselined back to the original programing. I'm 5'9" and 215#. It isn't "easy" to get in behind the GT3RS Seats without the DasSport bar. But the DasSport has the X brace blocking everything, along with the horizontal brace on the main hoop. It's a royal pain.
