Pic Request: Mounting Location of Your MS3X in '90-'93 Miata 1.6
Just like the title says. I'm finishing up my wiring and its about time to get the ECU where it needs to be instead of on the floor with the carpet ripped up. I don't want to put it in the stock location as is barely fits, and I tend to get some water on the floor when it rains hard (not a nice place for an expensive ECU).
I'm thinking about mounting it in the glove box or zip tied to the black plastic A/C (or heat?) ducting underneath the glove box... It doesn't look like it will fit on the transmission tunnel without looking silly.
Thanks!

I took a piece of flat steel, put a bend it with one end about 2" the other about 8" (going off memory) forming an L-bracket.
Drilled a hole in the 2" end and screwed it down with the nut that holds the top of the OEM ECU cover (visible without moving the carpet). The long end of the L-bracket got screwed with a self tapping screw to the metal support bar under the glove box.
The MegaSquirt got attached to the bottom of the L-bracket with big *** zip ties and a piece of foam in between so there's no metal on metal contact.
Not pretty but it took a few minutes to make and tucked everything up out of sight under the dash.
