Amazing work on a very rare and awesome car!

I always remember seeing a pair of these parked in LA back in '96.

Yah i remember seeing a white Countach at this Jaguar repair specialist shop in North Van, which curtis was working at. It might be the same Countach.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

Yeah, my nephew moved out so no point posting with his account anymore.

Ahhh, good old RS. Even when you try to take a break it eventually sucks you back in.

A shot of the DBW controller, harness and throttles before they go into the car. The controller will be potted in epoxy for durability.





And here's a short video showing operation of one of the throttles.

People often complain about DBW cars feeling dis-connected or "slow" to respond to throttle inputs. This has nothing to do with DBW technology - it's how the manufacturer has programmed its operation. In order to keep emissions down and mileage up they often "soften" or "smooth" the response of the throttle, to the detriment of driving enjoyment.

There's no way anyone can say a regular mechanical (cable actuated) throttle can move or respond this quickly.

Despite being able to move so quickly, DBW throttles (when properly controlled) can also move with a high degree of precision.
