Rx7_Nut13b 06-22-2010 02:30 AM

7dust 06-22-2010 01:44 PM

shadycrew31 06-29-2010 10:51 AM

I just want to rent one... I work 8-5 Mazdatrix is to far away. My only free time is the weekend. anyone in Socal have one?

Sheehan 06-29-2010 01:39 PM

I too would be interested in renting one for a few days, would even pay a deposit.

Would anyone want to sell me their v1? I am literally turning away people every week needing compression tested.

Maybe a new GB thread for the v2 should be started, I would def be in!

Twisted Rotors has apparently decided to start his own forum:

Good news is it looks like version 2 is moving forward.

I would like to ask for a favor. Any of you guys willing to lend me your TR-01? I will naturally pay for shipping both ways. I'd really like to check my compression without having to hassle with the dealership.

Anyone? Please pm me :)

Phil's 8 08-25-2010 11:39 AM

I will be going to 7 stock and can bring my tester along with me if there is any interest. It is easy to do but you do have to remove your plugs. I've loaned mine to several peeps and while it always comes back in good shape, I always seem to need it for a local when it's gone.

I am awaiting V2 and expect to hear soon.

Jedi54 08-25-2010 12:01 PM

Phil: if you hear anything about the V2, will ya let me know?
I haven't kept up with this thread much but would be highly interested in buying one of these.

see ya at SevenStock!

I need to check my compression badly. Was going to get BHR to do it at SS but I don't have the money for it. All my money has gone into mods for my car.

9krpmrx8 08-25-2010 12:03 PM

I want one too.

J8635621 08-26-2010 07:43 AM

Saw a v2 in use. Pretty neat. Think he may still be testing it though. Pretty much every group of rotary guys could use one of these. It was awesome.

shadycrew31 08-26-2010 11:07 AM

Ive been begging socal to throw in $20 each to have one for the group.

Phil's 8 08-26-2010 11:42 AM

They are not that expensive.......I purchased mine and just let the Vegas peeps use it as necessary. When V2 is available I will have two of them.

shadycrew31 08-26-2010 12:02 PM

Your expensive and my expensive are about $200 off from each other lol.

9krpmrx8 08-26-2010 07:03 PM

Should I wait on the V2? Is there an ETA?

Phil's 8 08-26-2010 09:39 PM

I really like V1 and it's easy to use. V2 appears to be an upgrade. It was supposed to be Blue Tooth compatable but that has gone by the way side. I am sure he will post when ready to sell but if I get any information I will pass it on.

J8635621 08-26-2010 09:59 PM

The one I saw had working bluetooth and it transmitted to his laptop.

9krpmrx8 08-26-2010 11:36 PM

Oh wow, is there software to make the data into a graph or anything? I want.

Rx7_Nut13b 08-27-2010 10:13 AM

Yes there will be a Bluetooth option on the V2.0, all updates are shown at

Last post I see is August 12th where he says that Blue Tooth will not happen in this offering.......If you know something else then I will stand corrected.

The test units had Blue Tooth.

QUOTE: Sad news from the v2.0 camp today. After some real world testing at my local RX-Club of Houston meet I'm going to have to put the Bluetooth on hold. I don't know if it's this particular BT module or what but it's just not talking fast enough. Too many readings are getting skipped over while waiting for the BT module. This problem gets more and more apparent as cranking RPM increases.

I'm not saying BT will never be implemented but for now I've got to put it on the back-burner. What's that business saying, "Manufacturing costs shrink as design costs soar."? Yeah, I've got to get a new tester out on the market. I know there are way more people who just want a tester and could care less about Bluetooth. UNQUOTE

J8635621 08-27-2010 05:52 PM

Yep that was posted right after the meet I was talking about.

shadycrew31 08-27-2010 06:28 PM

I think I'm just gonna go to mazdatrix they charged me $50 last time.
