connect to the ECU in post '99' (i think) cars. you can then monitor performance/temps etc in real time. i have the module, just need a longer cable! ususally the plugs are under the dash on modern day cars - my ecu will be back seat.

You can get the cables - to extend the wires would be a pain, and alot of the times the quality is then crap.

Under the back seat is best for the ECU it appears.

You can get them in the US, must be able to get them here. $40 for shipping for a cable suxs! (plus the exchange rate).

I just ordered one of those Datascans, should have it next week ready for the track day!

And yeah if no luck in getting an extension, maybe just extend the wires to the plug and place it further towards the front, there's only a handfull connected.
