Re: Wanted Microcheck SRS harness adapter SMD4072/31

Hi Paul, I have no idea with the MEMS. All I can tell you it needs adapter leads and cards for different systems on the car, I dont have MEMs any more and my car being 1994 MY, Microcheck is ideal for everything else. You might need to find a Testbook, they have all the functions of the microcheck p...

Enjoyed that, great drive.
Your Coupe pulls so well out of those corners and bounces around like a go kart, like you say when passing the backmarkers gives a sense of how fast you are.
Congrats on the result.
