It's good info for all.

I'm no expert but we do deal with ECUs and tuning at work on occasion and these are some basic points I know.

Plug and play is simple and easy but because it plugs into a stock loom you don't always get the extra inputs and outputs of a wire in ECU.

A tunable ECU is good to support modifications obviously but what's the point if you can't have it tuned to maximise the potential of your upgrades or can only get it kinda right through limited knowledge and road tuning. (yes, Some can get a pretty decent tune on the road,)

If you know your way around the engine and its components then a wire in is not that hard. You're going with a common enough engine that any issues should be resolved with a quick google.

The upside to a wire in is that if you change your engine (this is your third ? ) you can keep the ECU and just buy another loom or your old one may work if the wires are still long enough to reuse.

Old, outdated etc.

 

We get a few Rx7s coming through work with them and there's pretty much the one guy who will tune them

 

modern ECUS just have so much more ability and support. 

 

Im sure there is a bunch of people who will argue road tune - do it yourself - all you need is this - MS this and that etc etc etc  but for me, the support, features, accessibility to well respected tuners who know their way around Links and high level tuning will win out. 

Looking good. 

 

I just ordered allot off similar parts too you inc the same breather fittings. The GTX 63 and 67 sound like sweet turbo's for CA's. 

 

I'm thinking off purchasing a 'power FC' ECU, I'm just not sure if they are to dated now. Will phone STM tomorrow to see what they recommend. 

 

SLURP 

 

Tuners are getting less likely to tune these is what ive heard,

Go Link tbh.

the irony of both being not the real thing....

And the brutal reality that sometimes the real thing is unobtainable ...

This idea of 4WD JZT IRS Criz gets me excited

This

Are altezzas 4wd haha. Max confuse

Some of the JZ ones were yes.

Looks like st215 caldina. Just looked at the gtt in my driveway haha.

Mate...

There I was today thinking, sweet I've got some direction when I pop into a wreckers when I can, boom! ST215 Caldina comes in to work this arvo. Matched up perfectly.

Good Ol oldschool knowledge base.

i also enjoyed meeting felix

Seat

Useless switches

Bike engine

Massive steels

Love it all.

Keep it up!

Oh yeah was going to post a full photo.

Probably not X7 as they are bolt to hub type.

Will post a full pic and measurements when I get back to work

They are probably JIC supplied. (The other plate is gold like the rest of the unit)

And I need the model of car not brand haha.

Chur

Heres a wee game for you all.

I brought some coilovers advertised as ST202 celica.

They aren't.

That's not the problem though.

I need to know what car these fit so I can acquire the right strut tower PCD.

JIC suspension appears to have no identification marks on them either so that's no help.

It's an odd pattern, with 2 studs inline with the camber adjustment and one forward.

Anybody recognise them?

Thanks.

with a merc Diesel and a tractor exhaust

Told you that was a good idea

So sweet.

Mine was rusted to bits in those rear sections too.

I'll see if I have any spare parts still floating about for one.

Keen for motorboating.

Come aboard bouy

Im on board.

Twice apparently.

Must be a catamaran. (Felix boat puns)

Im on board.

too late to move burger boes by 1 week chris?

I'd say nah lets do it. But that's not my job any more

But... What's wrong with double OS meets? I'm down for consecutive week meets.

Omg. Felix for my birthday. I may just come say hi.

Everyone knows 808's make the best RX-3's. The only difference is the chasis code stamped on the firewall.

Hah not according to a few retards on rotahavik back in the day who knew for a fact the 808 and RX3 had slight differences in the panels and body shape.

You know cause Mazda totally would have made 2 different stamps that had super subtle differences

I am also so glad I didn't go.

Nothing I needed but at those prices id have probably accidentally bought something.

Take photos of bid sheet?

This build pleases me greatly.

Keep it up

Look into where you can have that tuned also.

Because chances of a pretuned ECU also being the best tune for your engine is low.
