freshly built megasquirt I v2.2 board:
fresh out of the oven.
still steaming.
covered - harness side
covered - com port side
i picked up the unassembled MSI v2.2 kit to save myself a benjamin. so, in under 3hrs, i've got myself my very own Megasquirt programmable ecu.
harness is next. i've kept the redtop harness specifically for this project. we'll see if it makes for a clean and less troublesome install. we'll seeeee.

just tested it: it's all there. also, just flashed the cpu to upgrade it to the latest MSextra for more control and options.
i need to go to bed. this is bordering on obsessive.

HouTex Ryderz came out to my neck of the woods last night while i was snapping the polaroids above.
an old buddy by the name of Rocky rolled in with them. since several of them were trying to do donuts and just doing peel outs, my friend invited me to do a little drifting (they had a scanner they let them know if the cops were on the way).
it was great fun.
i think i'm definitely going to need to go up to a 4.7 ring & pinion.
if you want the 4.7 dcperformance on c4ag sells them for 290+15 shipping. great price if you ask me

suspension experimentation
here's what i've been running for the pass 5 years: the good ol' adjustable panhard w/ spherical rod ends-
just this past friday erickz300 came over and helped me install my modified watts-link i had sitting around for several months.
the purpose behind the design is to help keep the rear end more properly centered while allowing the live rear axle to pivot more "naturally". they've been around for years. this particular unit is intended for a model A or T hot rod.
i just modified the rods by shortening them to fit my narrower application. i did so by cutting off material from the RH thread side of each rod since it's easier for me to re-thread being that right-hand taps are more commonly had to the general public. added a bearing for the center pivot point so as to minimize wear on the bolt.
i had to slightly widen the lower mounting point to accommodate a .5" #8 bolt where the panhard bolted to the carriage. picked up a .5" steel spacer and cut it to length to take up the spaces on either side of the rod end at that spot too.
welded the upper mount to the under carriage right where the factory exhaust hangar normally sits. ran out of the good flux core wire thanks to a certain SOMEONE W/ A HEAVY TRIGGER FINGER . (bought some lincoln flux-core wire and it really sux! you'd think i'd have learned my lesson the first time w/ their wire. never again!)
driving around on it currently. i'll have to put it through some tasks in the coming weeks for a more "thorough" opinion.
