I have written a program to calculate the gear ratios and speeds in each gear for Cruisers.

I need some feedback, this is a beta program so don't expect everything to work perfectly. I sent the initial program to a few LCML members and recieved some good information including setup problems. The following points are known and I don't need to be reminded about them (I am pressing on as time permits):

1) The reset does not work as required.

2) The tach does some glitchy stuff, I am working on an OXC using the windows API's to get around this but it will take some time.

3) Overdrive units that bolt on or in the drive train, Ranger and Fairey, are not supported yet but it is coming.

4) The output chops the max RPM off.

So if you DL this and use it please let me know what you think. Input about the features, usebility and general stuff is sought. See the screen shots below to get an idea what you are getting into. The Zip is about 3 MB and the install is a little over 5 MB. If you have some of the items on your machine already (very probable) the total install will only be a few hundred KB.

So here it is; gears4.ZIP

There is no uninstall at this point, I do not write from the program to your reg files but the setup will, to remove all traces use Regedit.exe (with extreme caution).

Some pitures of rare Cruisers in Japan. I say rare because the older Cruisers here are far harder to find than in Canada.

A pristine BJ44 hard top spotted between Nishinomiya and Okamoto stations just south of the JR line.

An extremely rare BJ44 soft top spotted east of Himeji JR station.


Can't find it? Well as a last resort try the Soup to Nuts page.
