I had one of those ! It fell off, didn't record .... was a total pain ... but just about all there was then. I remember it recorded my Rover 420GSi Turbo which was supposed to be 6.4 to 60 (well quick in the early 90's) at 6.1 and then after being remapped (well, chipped as it was then with soldering needed) it went to 5.4 or 5.5 ... so though dodgy was useful in telling me the remap worked - not that I needed to know as it was f*****g obvious everytime I planted the throttle.

The car had the original Racelogic traction control fitted by Racelogic in Buckingham. Now that was an awesome bit of kit many Sierra Cosworths had fitted aftermarket. Cutting the spark when it detected wheelspin it was well employed on my 420 as without it the car just spun up being fwd.

I had great fun with that kind of stuff in my younger years ... now far calmer.
