Ordered a bunch of various electrical bits for the MS install last night.

Still mithering over cage choice as there's a bit of to-ing and fro-ing going on about what will be legal at the 'ring from this year.

Annoying.

I thought you only had to worry about cage specs if you were running a non road legal car or were planning to run full slicks? :undecided:

Poking things with sticks has a proven success rate.

There's way too much wiring in my car already.

All wires contain huge quantities of smoke.  I don't need any additional smoke, in a jar or not.

Time to fit Megasquirt.

Quick!  Take the whole thing apart:



Decided to move some stuff backwards to help weight balance:



Old loom out:



Pulling out a load of tat from among that and then the remains will be going in, with the new MS loom.

New loom going in:



Sore as hell because it was so damned cold.
