With OpenXC, Ford obscures direct access to the OBD2 and CAN bus through the use of an API. They give you defined API calls like open_certain_module(...), read_certain_module(...), etc., but they don't tell you how to directly access the certain_module. I asked Ford if they would provide the...
Congrats. The FS/Morgan Hill told me they have a 6-deep list for 350R's. And yes, they always sell at MSRP from what they told me. There's a guy in town who has a Grabber Blue GT350. I met him coming out of my neighborhood. We should meet up at Starbucks on Cochrane and I'll bring mine. We...
It's my understanding that FORSCAN will change static things, like "enable this, disable that." It sounds like you want to do something a bit more dynamic like "turn the diff pump on when..." Do I understand you right?
If you don't mind a small piece of hardware like Raspberry Pi or...
Do you have a VIN# yet? There's a guy in the bay area who ordered his R about 6 weeks ago, he got a VIN# about a week ago, and his car is now sitting on the dock waiting to be shipped.
Contact AJ at ESS Tuning. He owns two. He's in Chandler. I can't say for sure he'd take you for a test drive, but it's worth a shot. He may already have a supercharger on the car...not sure though.
Isn't there a guy on here who claims he already ordered one? I need to go check his posts to see if he was talking about an R or non-R.
Edit: Confirmed. He said dealers already got their allocations for MY2018 GT350's AND GT350R's, and he put a deposit on one.
I cross my fingers for everybody like you who found one -- hoping it comes through. I had to go from San Jose to Las Vegas to get mine. I also had a great dealer experience at Team Ford when I got there.
Your car looks great with the white stripe. Congrats!
Here's two samples to give you an idea about the differences between the all-in-one approach and gauge rendering software.
All-in-one with VBOX software. The gauges are pretty limited. Just skip through it watch a few seconds to get an idea.

Here's the gauge overlay approach with GoPro...
If you want an all-in-one, this will do it.

You said you'd pay good money, that will cost you good money. A single camera is $2400, dual camera is $2800. Both will give you 32 CAN channels.
I used a...
I see you have resonator delete. Do you know if a stock exhaust will pass sound at Laguna Seca?
Also curious why the video with overlay was so bumpy but the others weren't. Did you mount the GoPro somewhere else on the others?
Have you thought of using something like AIM Solo-DL with CAN bus...
There's a 2017 Oxford White, Blue OTT stripe GT350R at Fairfield Ford in Fairfield CA. They want 20K ADM. They claim to have an auto wholesaler who offered 20k ADM, but want to sell to a real person. That's what they told me today. Ask for Darrell.
If that story is true, I'll bet they'll...
Due to my short-lived ownership of HR115, I ended up with the kit for HR115. Even though I never took delivery of the car, I paid in full and owned it for a month before the whole thing fell apart (I'm not going to rehash it). So now I have the kit for HR115 as a trophy.
I will gladly offer...
Not planning to DD my 350R, even though I drove it today. :)
I plan to keep the CF wheels/CS2 tires for track. Already purchased and waiting for delivery of HRE R101's for street. I haven't decided on street tires yet.
My DD is a car that gives me HOV lane access. In Silicon Valley...
My factory stripe was matte black on Avalanche Gray. The red is glossy, and slightly raised over the matte black. This implies the red stripe is a separate overlay and not part of the matte black stripe. I also priced out the factory stripes. $3163 from the Ford dealership Morgan Hill.
I...
I added the 0-130 MPH test, and 70-0 braking test to vBoxtools.com and vboxdyno.com. For these graphs, I'm also not using any horsepower correction because I'm not sure it makes any sense since I'm not comparing to another guy across the country. Uncorrected horsepower is intended tell us what...
