Mine is velcro'd vertically to the side of my stock ECU. I'll try to take a picture tomorrow.

Zip ties FTW.

Mine is tucked behind the passengers seat next to my stocker... not really strapped in at all just wedged behind the seat.

lmao...

I love you guys.

I used to have my EMB bolted to the back of the glove box. Stealth FTW.

Some crack head is going to steal you MS thinking it's a CD changer or something.

mines screwed down inside the glovebox. still enough room for pen and insurance papers.

Zip tied vertically against the V shaped dash support above the throttle. I added a small screw to the support to keep the case from sliding down.

I made a custom bracket and the whole thing bolts down securely next to the stock ECU under the passenger's footrest:

Jim,

When you gonna come round to my garage and tidy up mu wires like that? :)

I will get up a pick of how I have mine mounted later this afternoon. It is nicely hidden were my passenger airbag is supposed to be.

I'd rock it next to the ECU, but since I have a nice big ABS ECU there, there aint no room....I was thinking of shoving it up behind the glovebox....plenty of room, but this way I have easy access to the serial port.

You sure that's an ABS computer? Mine have the abs computer under the dash.

You could bracket the MS to behind the glovebox and leave the serial cable plugged in and hanging down, but tucked in there so it's not dangling. Then you reach in and pull it down when you need to, and tuck it back up when ya don't.

it says Nippon ABS right on it, about the same size as the MS.


I was thinking about something like that....since it's only zipped in right now, i'll have a chance to dick around with it later.

but since my battery is dead and my stub is still leaking......

uh yeah, sorry I read ABS and somehow thought "airbags" instead of anti lock.
I've never had a 1.6 w abs so I was talkin outta my ass.

:gay: i anit got no stinkin' passenger airbag...they gotta fend for themselves.

ditto

is there space behind the glove box? That's where the NB's got room.

I'm planning to put mine where my stock ECU goes with a custom bracket. Then the stock ECU is going on a shelf in the garage. I should know how it works out in a couple weeks.

Works out nice because I got the black case option... it's not very noticeable at all unless the car is running and the LEDs are blink'n away.
