MegaSquirt from Whodwho installed today. went smooth and started right up. getting the vacuum line through the firewall was a bit of a betch, but i just poked a hole through the big grommet around the main harness and shoved it though.

Nice touch with the water temp gauge.

SWEET

I got my Condor solid motor and transmission mounts installed and have a question.. I was expecting the "buzz" vibration (which i got with the motor mounts) but the transmission mounts are giving me a "wamp wamp wamp" almost "out of balance" rumble. Is this normal?

also, when i installed the tranny mounts I bolted the transmission brace back up to where i had sen it was tightened before then put in the mounts and lowered the transmission on top then tightened the mounts. Was that the correct order?

Does the womp-womp happen at idle or while the car is moving?

I have the condor motor mounts but not the transmission mounts, but I would expect additional MVH when the car is moving, not while at idle.
Edit: Idle with the clutch in, where nothing in the transmission is spinning. At idle with the clutch out and the car in neutral you'll have half the transmission spinning and I would expect something there.

its all fine at idle. As I accelerate, it build up and almost starts sounding like a Subaru haha its not REALLY extreme, but its really noticeable. Im ok with it but I just want to make sure something isnt going to break.

Look forward to seeing the wing on a regular coupe. Good build so far.

*Update* I have a shitload of parts and have decided to go all in and do a full motor build instead of just the head.

the next couple of months will be exciting... and expensive.
