Nice work dude.

Would love to see this running and how fast it is when its done

good progress! not long now ey?

I always wondered what happened to this! It was mine 2 years ago I brought it standard 18 months before hand. I'm glad to see it being put to good use :D

Nice work man well I've finally finished my megasquirt tonight after much hard work, Are you using a Coil pack with this or distributor? as i found when using a coil pack i had to buy another high current ignition driver from a local megasquirt dealer and modify the circuit as its only made to run off a dizzy not a 4 cylinder wasted spark coil pack.
