Whizbang will become famous soon enough
so where to begin.

First, many thanks to Rymon and Pete on the megasquirt. Wouldn't have been able to do it without pestering them.

As for the progress. Well it starts and holds an idle more or less. First start was open header. (dang) Started up very easily though. Still wants to stall on occasion but i have had no chance to tune anything as of yet. I reflashed the MS2 to use the MS2 extra firmware. Which has some pretty good controls.

Also had to replace the alternator. The S5 i had gotten wasn't charging. Took it to autozone, tested bad. Had a spare s4 one laying around so i adapted that. Issues resolved.

With the day coming to a close, i decided to tackle the final big step. The exhaust. A friend of mine lent a huge hand and didnt the welding since i haven't for almost a year now and we didn't have time for me to get back into it. Generally went well. Used the Racing Beat 3" universal muffler and pre silencer. Still need to decided on a tip for the muffler.

As far as media with the car running, well tomorrow or the next day i will have a video of it running any maybe even driving. we shall see. There are plenty of issues i need to address including the fact i *can't* get the car in reverse. The clutch also engages pretty low.
