Houston........we have a connection!!!!  :P I think that back in the 70's Fiat engineers didn't know that someday somebody will use a laptop to adjust the engine in this car :D



Today I also installed finally the wheel arch extensions... And oooouuh.... it like it a lot! :P It's really a dream come true for me.

Is it by using an OBDII interface? I have to try and see if I can use that in my project, cool stuff!

No it doesnt't have OBDII, but a serial connection instead.

Today I tried to start the car for the first time but no success yet....  :cry:
