It's been awhile since my last post and I took a pretty long break to get my house ready to list and finish some plans for the new place.
I'm not far from from starting the body work.

I just got my MegaSquirt parts to build last week. I've finished the relay board and Stimulator. The ECU is next and will probably take a week or so at the rate I work and with this being my first MS.
It's a MS2 but will be built upgrade ready in a MS3 case. I would like to have the USB support and SD card datalogging that comes from the MS3 daughter board. I don't plan on the MS3X card but I might build my harness so a switch to sequential injection will be easier.

They have a great special on right now. Free top or fenders and if you make it in the first 10 to order they throw in a tilt column.
I keep the FFR 33 Registry map up and I just added car 210. Mine is #37 and I think we have over 20 completed. It seems to be a pretty solid car. We have one that is approaching 2000 miles with no issues of consequence. There are probably others with higher mileage but not everyone checks in on the forums.

I'm hanging on every update.
What upgrades are you speaking of for the suspension? I've watched the vids & it appears that that is the one thing they actually really worked out.

The suspension upgrades are really minor. I have to change out the 4 steering arm bolts for a new spec from FFR. They use these silly boots for the upper ball joints that have to go. We found some that actually seal on both ends, not the open at the top crap that the car came with.
I made a poor choice when I selected my fuel filters so those will get changed out too. My ECU is still in the little ziploc bags because I had some confusion on which parts of the MS2 I could leave off. I now have ALL of the MS3 components to include harnesses so I'm ready to get started on it this week too.
