ok, i know this has been tried before by several people with little success, but i figured it couldnt hurt. anyway, i need to do some datalogging, preferably today, doesnt need to be a spectacular laptop, just basic, as long as i can save my file to a disk, i am happy.

i dont want to buy one, because this is the first and last time i will ever need to use one plus i dont have the cash at the moment…

im sure i can come up with something for collateral or something…i can be trusted, and many can vouch for me. kinda in a bind here and need to get this done…

so, if you got one, PM me please and we can work out some kind of deal.

Thanks.

what do you need in the laptop in terms of specs?

you are hooking it up to your car… so what kind of interface will it be interacting…?

I am using an SCT X-Calibrator 2 to plug into the car, and laptop via usb. …i basically have to load the software on (dont know the exact software…whatever SCT provided)…go through a series of tests, save it to disk, and uninstall program. then just email the file to my tuner so he can make adjustments.

honestly this is all new to me, and i will be just following the directions i was given. everything looks amazingly simple… there was no pc spec requirements given, i know that much. shouldnt take me but a couple hours since i have to “baby step” it.
