i moved my ecu higher because people kept stomping on it when i hit my brakes.

(stock mounting point is under a plate at the feet of the passenger)





does using a steel bar + bolts = fab?

Behind the passenger seat on the floor, with a break-out of every signal for easy testing and modification. It's an H22A1 drive-train. (You didn't specify what car )

Hah! That's just thrown in. Wait until it all starts going back together, THEN you'll see nice wiring. I'm still stringing new ones...

Mounted in the glove box because the new cage blocks the stock spot.

I think he was referring to the mess of wiring above yours.

Damn I need to do something like that ^^^. I've been trying to put a P28 in the stock spot for a PM6 or whatever the '91 Si's have. I'm using two .125" strips of Al as mounting strips. If it doesn't work out I'll look at putting it where the glovebox was.
DAMN THEIVES

Nice work guys .

At least they're all soldered. I can live with that.

I've seen cars with alligator clips meant for testing running from the passenger compartment to the battery....
