You either want to do that pedal dance, or wait for the new beastronix IMO.

oh I'm fully aware of this. I thought I had mentioned that in another post after I posted this first comment.

EDIT: went back to look.. I guess I didn't oops. lol

All good.

I guess for parking lot drifts and auto-x it might be fine, but for on-track prob not so much.

My dad had a solution for any time he did that racing his old rabbit. Put them on the front (or in our cars the back) and do a nice burnout!

In seriousness though I wouldn't recommend it for modern tires as the heat would likely mess with the rubber characteristics. This was probably early 80's and he just used whatever mostly bald tires the shop had taken off of other cars recently.

I have a beastronix box that I used to use for my car. I have the Part shop max front angle kit, and I found that the beastronix for one reason or another used to intermittently kill my power steering (not ideal for drifting).
I have now removed it from my car and can ship it to anyone who wants it. I won't charge anything for it, just for the shipment as I am shipping it from Beirut. If anyone is interested please PM me.
I simply remove the ABS fuse now, as I dont need ABS for drifting.

ASK ONE MORE TIME AND I'M TURNING THIS CAR AROUND AND NO ONE'S GETTING ICE CREAM

Im actually making one. But not sure what other features that i should add.

basically to make more simple it will connect to the "options" connector inside the radio hole area. then on the other side just a connector for the switches/buttons. and thats it.

So that leaves the obd2 port open for data loggers like aim? Is this just a project you're doing for yourself, or are you thinking bigger?

Yup! i wanted to keep the obd2 port available. since i use it for many other things. Originally i was thinking for myself, but since then ive gotten alot of people who are interested. So though of mass producing it.
