"Rental setup gauges and equipment for new (or old) TR owners

[turbotroy]

Hey All, just trying to gauge responses to see if there's any interest. Here's my backstory:
I've always been a pretty good mechanic, making my living that way for at least half my life, but TR's are a different breed (at least to us 60's/70's hot rodders, so what I'm proposing is something like the fender roller rental of another person on this site.
I'm thinking of putting together a package of the gauges, ie: scanmaster, powerlogger loaded on to a laptop, with ecm, fuel pressure, wide band 02, the pieces for a spring cleaning (minus the fluids) etc on a rental basis.That way someone who buys one of these cars doesn't have to spend a fortune on stuff just to initially diagnose. I know I spent a BUNCH for stuff that I don't need forever just to figure out things. The deposit would have to cover the cost of the materials involved, of course, but I could do this "rental" very reasonably. If someone wanted to "keep" any of these pieces, they could pay for that accordingly. I have been given so much great information on this site... it's time to give back some What's your thoughts? If there is enough interest I'll talk with Shane. Thanks and enjoy your day
Troy

On paper it's a good idea......


....but your target demographic want's big cams, polished heads, flowmasters, bench racing boost numbers, headers, 'big' turbos, gearz, and dubs....

The problem is the things that you listed are all things that someone should keep permanently. Ie scanmaster, fuel gauge, wide band to tune correctly. You always want to monitor what your car is doing. You can only roll your fenders once.

If it is a rental thing a OTC 4000 scan tool would be better than a power logger,scan master and a lap top. Simple plug and play and gives you all the data needed for minor problems. I have one to help out new owners that I meet at car shows etc. Nice of you to think of others. That is the thing I notice with these cars as compared to others, people on here are always eager to help.
