Cypher Member 68 Member For: 20y 11m 2d Posted 28/08/04 01:50 AM Share Posted 28/08/04 01:50 AM Has anyone tried using a Power FC or other such japanese computers (can't remember the name of the HKS unit) with the Barra240???I was thinking of giving this a go but am not sure if this is possible?Anyone had any experience with this? Or am I just being stoopid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting what the japanese could achieve with these cars.Is the HKS unit the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
