A little hard to tell the difference. You need a tripod to photograph it better. Do your neighbors think you're crazy yet?

Yeah .. I noticed that when I uploaded the pic. I'll have to update it. Dang supposed 6 megapixel camera ... my ancient 3 megap is better! On the neighbors ... they're used to seeing me work on the X at odd hours so I don't think any picture taking is gonna surprise them!

Hey .. you're not supposed to do that yet ... you're supposed to wait and let me finish the DIY so you know what you're doing!

BTW ... when it lowered I was leaning through the passenger side window accessing the laptop ... it made me jump! I wasn't expecting it to lower at that moment!

Weasel will become famous soon enough
Isn't it great to be able to do this stuff whenever you want?!?

Good to see you are figuring out the GT1 and its wide range of functionality, and using your new powers for good!!! Looks awesome lowered too! (RR will be proud )

Sure is nice.... This drop alone has paid for 1/2 of the output price for the GT1.

Getting the hang of this thing... Once I get some time under the hood.... I will have this avail for locals that want to check out there rides... Will work for Magic Hat #9


I also turned down the sensitivity on the auto-wipe windshield wipers. It was always a tad tooo sensitive for my tastes.

Did a few key settings, should make the 2 keys adjust mirrors, seat for each driver.

Yep, the "his and hers" keys memory feature is nice to have.

I wonder If I can figure out how to dual boot an old laptop 60gig hard drive into two 30gig bootable partitions with V44 and V56 installed... And the best part is I can likely find all the install discs hanging around the shop (probably all in the foreman's desk drawer) I'm not worried about the SSS software as I can just use the shop for that... but none of the machines at work have the old version 44 anymore which makes quick module replacement and retrofits encoding easier than SSS.

If I can find some time to this effort... I will make an VM image of the V44. You can just run this and the V56 on any laptop... just need to install a VM player.

I was toying with boot magic... but in the end the VM is 10X easier to use/share.

Are you saying you have a copy of v44 or did you mean v43 (the DIS version we have from yohotech)?
