Default Tari

Why not use the Tari software instead of Delta Dash, does the same thing and is free?

DeltaDash enables some programming of existing ECUTeK maps and also more importantly comes with some great skins and real-time dials...

Does it?!?? Have they released a new version then, I was most upset when the released user-tune JUST for MY01 onwards!

I have a MY99 Type R, and last time I checked, they did not have enough time to enable usertune on pre MY01 cars (admittedly, I havent checked their site for bladdy ages!)

hmm, I wouldn't take a chance with that cable, that's why it's so cheap...

Sorry, just re-read your/my posts, I meant to say that you cannot use the livetuning side of Deltadash on classics! I have a STi 5 Type R and have got and used deltadash many times - just got a bit excited thinking live tune was now available for it

It is as long as you have had an ECUTeK remap that is unlocked..

Do you want to sell your DeltaDash?
