High-Tech Remote Controlled 1969 GTO

Lol for fast posting!

I still want to drive around with my phone like in James Bond
 
Holy crap, I just noticed... no trunk handle. No DOOR handles inside or outside! No power window switches on the inside door panels. :eek:
 
That is pure badass. Some people's ingenuity.... :eek: I don't know how some people come up with this crazy stuff!
 
Doesn't this always end up in a disaster for the MythBusters??
 
Regardless if it's an ipod or not. That's one smart dude and one awesome car.

+1 for the Rush.
 
Inventive, decent taste in music (RUSH) Don't care for the color though.

One thing I'd like to see is under the hood. To get a car to remote start takes fuel injection and I'd like to see if he's using a TBI or a MPFI setup. IF it's carbed he'd have to have solenoids to pump the pedal and control the throttle.That's more trouble than it's worth so it's likely FI.

I'd say it's prolly one of those standard TBI bolt-on systems you can get for them. Regardless, it's pretty sweet.

If I could get this app ported to my Droid/Android OS, I'd seriously consider doing it to my car, hah.

That's what I'm guessing if he's got the original 400 in it. We have a 69 Firebird with a TBI setup on a Pontiac 350. So It can be done but we had to get with Accel since they didn't seem to understand that Pontiac firing orders go COUNTER clockwise.

:D
 
Got a Pontiac GTO? There's an app for that! :D

Jesus, Audio Transcribe Beta was so murderously awful.

Yeah Google has a long ways to go.

Remote start require FI? That's news to me, especially since I did it on a 77 350 2bbl.... Oh well.


But whatever he's doing, it's bad-ass. I thought of completely automating my truck several years ago, but never had the money or the skill to follow through with it.
 
Cool vid but since I am not a gear head I must be missing something...am I crazy or did he have that thing in his garage sideways?
 
Hey where did he get that iPad nano from?
 
I'm confused. The RedEye is an infared receiver, where does the wireless network come into play?

Lots of infrared and WiFi converters available, especially for those who buys universal remotes for their entertainment appliances when they have a mix of WiFi and infrared receivers.

Like this. Just plug the RJ-45 cable into a wireless access point or router and you're good to go.
 
That is pretty nifty. The next phase should be voice-controlled actions using a wireless device. Heck, put it on a watch and make it into the next KITT. :cool:

That looked very close to the color of a 69 judge convertable that my dad owned and is very pretty in real life. IMO Rush is very talented, but overplay - seems like they play to impress themselves.

Could just be original carb (Quadrajet perhaps). That's what I had in my 67 Firebird with 400 engine and Turbo 400 trans. Never and I mean NEVER did I have to pump the car first or do anything special to start it, worked like a champ. With the amount of tech he's got in that car (and how he obviously doesn't care about original parts) I'd assume you're right and he's running fuel injection though.

Two things come to mind...

Either you used an electric fuel pump to prime the bowls or you had a solenoid to blip the throttle because there's no way in hell you're going to start a carbureted car, especially a chevy, without blipping the throttle at least once on a cold start. Warm start, yes but not a cold start.

Or your remote let you keep cranking till it finally started.

EIther way it's far easier with fuel injection.

:cool:
 
Prime the bowls? They should always be full of gas as long as the floats are good, the needles seat, and the bowl gaskets are good. Or, were you talking about something different. Any engine with good compression and no air leaks should be able to suck the gas it needs, through the jets, to start.

It's called having a properly tuned carb. I NEVER had to touch the gas pedal to start my truck. It always started right off the bat, even when it was cold (admittedly it never gets much lower than 10-15ºF here).

Well, you're the exception not the rule. If what you state was the norm then there wouldn't be Carb kits for remote start alarms.

I have NEVER owned any make of carbureted vehicle that didn't AT LEAST have to have to choke set to start cold and I've owned a lot of them.

Kudos to you though, you've got a gem there.

Not without the choke set and DEFINTELY not on a chevy.

Diamond in the rough maybe, It took a lot of work to get it to run as good as it did, and it took a lot of work to KEEP it running as good as it did. I wish I still had it.

Mine was a Chevy C-10 shortbed that looked like it was used in a war.
