before setting up guages on your laptop i'd reinforce your floor

:facepalm:

that has to be one of the most retarded things someone would want to do. how the hell would you monitor that while driving without taking your eyes off the road? mount your laptop on your dash? :rofl:

honestly, you would install a ram mount in a sport compact to hold a laptop to show you information you could easily get a lot more effectively via gauges? Do you not know how distracting a laptop is when night driving? Police need one to do their job, whole different scenario. Until you get rear ended by one of these people too busy looking at a laptop rather than the road.

And PLX does make a data logger with a real time monitor, but it's more for the serious tuner and costs a lot more than just gauges.

Yah the HKS camp is a cool toy, I used to have the system. I replaced it however with a digital cluster and a higher end EBC. Those both display all the same info the cam does.

Some EMS programs allow you to display the gauges but really it's useless because you want to datalog not see instantaneous data which when you need to see it most, you'll be driving hard. One look over and you'll be the next integra with the tree mod.

haha, OP you would get better answers if you didnt mention the fast and furious in your post.

but in all seriousness, its super easy with an OBDII scanner (assuming you have a vehicle with the obdII port, ) a kit is like 250$,
