Megajolt website changes?

Just paid my regular visit to the Megajolt site - and it's all completely changed! Now there's no mention of Brent Picasso, being replaced by "Autosport Labs".

The whole tone is of a commercial venture - anyone here knew that this was coming?

I've spent some time having a good look around the redesigned website - it looks like they've notched up the technology a lot. The main site's a wiki, the community area has a conventional forum technology (not much different from this one), but the biggest change is in the 'products' section - no longer a paypal site, now it's a typical on-line sales site. Don't see any individual components yet, only full kits and ready-mades, but maybe that'll come later.

The jury is out....

Yep - that's Brent's new site.

Unless I've misunderstood what he's said, it looks like he's going to be a lot more commercial in the future - maybe less of an 'open' project?

Its not as easy to find information on now and seems a bit fragmented.
It is definitely a move towards a more commercial venture and from what I can make out will not be supplying components anymore, i used to buy PCBs and processors to build units but it now seems as if I will have to make my own with a few modifications I have got a programmer if anyone needs a chip flashing.
Maybe its time i got around to building a self contained ignition only module that doesnt rely on the ford parts which are getting harder to obtain.

Correct - you can only buy full kits or ready-made units. Also, you can no longer use Paypal and have to use Visa or Mastercard.

Personally, I think he's shot himself in the foot...
