I agree, I don't understand all the TerrorTrip hate. I bought my 303 new in 1987 and it always worked perfectly. I never had any trouble with it, used it in several cars. Also very simple to use.
I had a Brantz that came with the Ascona when I bought it that I only got to use for a couple months before I loaned it to someone who returned it broken and after sending it back to the factory it was apparently unfixable.

Oh, I dunno, the guy in Portland who installed it for these poor guys and couldn't get it to read better that 2,4 "miles" per mile of the car's odo has been around for more than a decade, I wonder why he couldn't make it work, maybe the signal is too "fine". They were told "Maybe you should get a couple of scalers in line to cut down the signal.".


I don't want to waste tons of these peoples time, and money just fucking around when the fuckin BOOK gives you instructions to press buttons that don't exist..

Guess just fawking around and poking at things while the clock is running doesn't concern you guys...

That's the second big question---what and where did the guys who did the install do?

It seeeeeeems that for some ungodly reason "something" was "done' behind the speedo buring under the dash, fucking brilliant.
Brilliant EASY access, brilliant execution...

It was a popular person in Portland that did the work---I will not say becuase it's so stupid and so much shit done poorly and half-assedly that its a scandal.

Or should be. Or is for anybody who has ever done one install.

The car is here getting its suspesntion adjusted and installed, as well as newer front knuckles, discs and calipers, ball joint, brake hoses, CV boots and grease.
It is the co-driver who is worried about getting lost on transits.

Personally I don't want to fuck with the thing, it is plain stupid that the poor guys paid money already for shit way more expensive and complicated in its features, has fictitious instructions,---they have no need for anything but the simplest counter now with Stage Notes---that they weren't explained what,and where they have and that the shit doesn't work.

I don't want to rip into the dash, I don't on other cars, this car is here for other things...

I STILL need to secure the PIAA relays--again stupidly and purposely expensive for what it is---which were secured to the hood using a 3" drywall screw---which is falling out, and the light-pod which needs some method for removal that should take less than 45 minutes---horrible workmanship.
