            Plan is to run an MX5 cam angle sensor, with a wasted spark setup....

            Probably the simplest way to control spark timing.

            Of course, the CAS I bought appears to be dead... because nothing ever goes to plan now does it!

                      Auto is the best part!

                      Actually, I have a feeling its dumped half the transmission fluid from the trans sump gasket...

                      I've been considering converting it to the 4 speed electronic shift auto, if I can get the Megasquirt to control it.... more research is needed!

                          thats a good amount of flex going there. that after a few years & the poor car will sound like a rattle box.
                          insanity tho!

                              Few pics of the Innovate Motorsports MTX gauges install

                              One of the gauges.


                              I made some short cables to connect the three gauges together, as the cables you can buy are like 4 foot long! :/


                              I stuffed it all into a jiffy box, with a relay to switch all three gauges on, taking power directly from the battery




                              The whole setup has a hanger to slide it in under the radio, can easily be removed and unplugged if I'm parking in a bad area :p
