best to put it on a web site - then those who are interested can check
out all the details - kinda like a diary, only about your car project.
Everyone is looking for a little rainy day reading once in a while, and
those long stories of "how I planned my car" make good reading.  But not
good "questions".

Absolutely agreed.  If you can reduce your custom question to one that
involves "stock" info (like how a system works on a car you don't have,
and want to copy), do so.  But on the custom stuff, if there is no btdt,
there will be no answers forthcoming...

I know if I was going to put EFI on an Audi 10v turbo I would not think
twice, I'd use the system Javad worked up and that Marc and Nate are
also using - all I gotta do is copy them... and ask for copies of their
software when they are done tweaking it!
