I'm not going to give away any more secrets, now that I reckon my announcement awoke Cobb from their complacency. The timing is amazingly cooincidental. But there isn't anything I can do about that.

Thanks for the tip anyway!

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

ummm bump

 

I voulenteer to beta test!

 

i called dib

but i dont know what i would be doing so you got it ^^^lol

 

any word on estimated street price yet hymee? for new and upgrade?

 

It is 5 AM in Melbourne Australia on Thursday Feb 21st....... Come on Hymee let me see some teaser pics atleast

 

sweett....

 

i havent talked to her about it yet
she wants to change her plugs, so probably after that

 

+1

 

i dont think im going to be driving all the way up there. we may be orgainizing something more local

 

Any news on the supercharger yet? Hymee, I'm telling you, if you can good numbers and a good powerband out of it I'll beat your door to buy one. The new sCANalyser is awesome and all, but I want that hot piece of machinery!

 

G'day mate.

Both projects are coming together nicely. Very nicely in fact. Probably a little behind as we speeak, in terms of timeframe, but steady as she goes. I'm nervous about letting too much information out since what has transpired since I made "the announcement".

You'll probably end up getting the sCANalyser ProTuner with the S/C anyways

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

Good news Hymee. Myself, and I'm very sure many others, are looking forward to your release and can't wait.

Any bits of info. will of course be greatly appreciated.

 

Hymee, will you provide a map w/ your software for those of us that allready have the Pettit S/C??

 

The sCANalyser ProTuner package will be applicable to Pettit's S/C. Of course, I'll include a "nag messages" saying "should have got the Hymee instead". Just kidding of course!

That said, I'm more interested in providing the best tool to do the tuning, than supplying "maps". People could use this tool to create maps for public distribution, or to sell for profit. There will be a caring/sharing aspect to my offering. But if I just wanted to make a product to put pre-packaged tunes in the car, then I would essentially be selling just another access port, not a professional tuning application.

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

So time for an update.

I did boldly state in the opening post of this thread that I planned on releasing the sCANalyser ProTuner product in the first week of March, and have my S/C kit installed in my car at the same time. Well it is now the beginning of the first week in March. I still officially have 5 days to go That is 15 shifts

There has been a massive amount of water under the bridge in the last 6 weeks. The software is coming along well, and I'm awaiting some cool new USB based hardware. I hope to have my first units this week. I also have some beta testers lined up in various parts around the world, and I have been saying that I hope to get them there beta release to them this week. Software is easy to distribute, but I have to wait till I get the hardware and do some final tests before I can on-ship them.

If you would like to participate in the beta program, please send me your application and resume' via PM.

As for the blower, I'm waiting on some braketry to mount the FMIC, and then we need to fab the pipework. The rest of it is pretty much ready to install in the car.

What should I concentrate on - getting the blower kit done and installed, or getting the ProTuner beta out???

I'm going to be busy. Believe me, I have been busy beyond belief since I made the announcement. Anyone else like the coincidence surrounding the AP talk being silient for such a long time until I made my announcement? Perhaps I might (should?) get a extra gold star or brownie point for inadvertantly kicking that development on to the benefit of the community

To all those ho have been waiting for more details on the ProTuner, I'm sorry that I have been keeping a little mum. After all the flurry of activity with the AP, I realised that the less I leak the better. I have also been negotiating distribution rights in the US / North America, so that has given me reason to keep a little quiet as well. Expect an exciting announcement in the very short term.

Thanks for the support guys! I really appreciate it.

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

Good man I can't wait, I would beta test for you but I know only the basics of tuning plus I have a N/A AT 4 Port but it is going to FI'd in two months time so I will def be picking up a ProTuner kit and force a certain someone to help me tune it

 

Make sure you support develeopment with the vision to think outside borders !

 

I think i tried to allude to that when I wrote "There will be a caring/sharing aspect to my offering." in my earlier post.

I've got an idea of for some freeware software that will enhance the development of the RX-8 tuning community. Details to come.

Please tell me you didn't mean development in an open source sort of way...

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

Sorry mate it was an attempt at a backhander to Cobb. they only support the US market. You are supporting everyone.

 

No worries. She's right mate.

Yep - I've even got my first Euro beta tester lined up.

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

Does that include Europe? that is not covered by Cobb with the AP

Euro spec RX8´s are waiting for a flasher like this too !!!

Cheers
jird20

 

You bet!

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

Hey Hymee, don't forget the large Asian market and including JDM RX-8s.

 

Does anyone know why the Cobb only works w/ US market cars??
