So you didn't change the wiring at all?

but I like my $10 torque wrench...

Why not go Megasquirt with a MAP sensor? for simplicity aswell as i dont have a laptop or any computer of my own at home for that matter.....so 700 plus 1400 plus trailering 600km to a dyno to tune it....it seemed reasonable at the time...the air flow converter i mean....full standalone is out of m...

Wow I'm so confused now after reading this.

I have and '86 that HAD an auto tranny, but now has a T-5.
The neutral safety is not connected at all.
To be installed is a PE and a big VAM.

Could someone give me some brief 'how-to install' info?

I don't think they take body parts, just cash.

I have an '86 and I'm looking to COMPLETELY replace the brake setup on the car. I've had issues since I got the car and I don't trust the brakes at all anymore. Looking to upgrade the front setup and switch to discs in the rear.

Any suggestions for a complete solution?

Can these be made to sit lower then the stock seats?
I can't stand how high the stockers are, feels like I'm sitting on the milk carton. My helmet hits the ceiling when I auto-x so I kinda have to tilt my head to the side during a run.

Wow that is one CLEAN car!

Wish our XR's had that style front end...

Nice looking cars!
