hey guys. Last night I installed the ls1 ecu in the factory miata location as well as installed my obd2 port. What do you guys think?

Very clean install but I'm not a fan of exposing it like that. My wife would beat the thing to death with all the stuff she piles there. On the other hand I never got around to mounting mine. It's laying in a pile of wires under the radio so who am I to say!

You have any shots of the rest if the interior? Looks like you have some gauges below the radio?

The gauges in there are...well... Extremely temp. The volt gauge doesn't do anything, nor does the water. The oil pressure is going to be taken out soon.

The FM adapter with OEM water and oil sensors are in plans so I can utilize my OEM gauges. I like after market stuff, but I love no cluttering of wires. For now I'm just using my torque APP with the blue tooth obd2 reader to keep an eye on my temps. The ls1 ECU controls the factory miata fans perfectly though.
