Happy chappy
Another dark side Cobra roars to life!
I had problems with not enough power to the computer via the ignition switch so a few short cuts were taken to get it started. Who cares, after 3 yrs it's a very sweet sound to my ears.
Thanks especially to Marty Govert and Justin (Sideshow wiring) for helping me with the tricky bits these last few weeks.
Another month and it should be ready for a road test.

Nice one Sambo!
That should have got the neighbour's attention.
I've played it three times!

Well Done Paul,
That smile on your face explains it.
Luv your hi-tech on/off switch.
They do sound great with just the headers on.

Great stuff Paul, I think the start up "startled" the camera operator.

Yeah I warned the better half but she still wasn't prepared.
Thanks to all. I've got a HD camera with roll bar mount ready to go, so there will be plenty of youtube goodness in the months to come.

Well done,
and I reckon the tether kill switch is a perfect failsafe in case it falls off the stands and rolls away LOL.
The first start up isn't always a winner, but the first real startup is memorable.

Very happy!
Paul
When you take him for a spin on the road you will clearly need some plastic seat covers!!
Sounds great. Well done.
