    Should be cool almost any where you can keep in dry.

    Looks good to me Jon - I really don't know where else you might mount it. I've pretty much crawled thru the E-box and dash with my setup (MAF controller, Innovate LC-1, etc) and there's just not a lot of free space.

    Only thing I can think of is maybe a location in a kick panel but suspect that would be pretty much a PITA.

    no carputer in glovebox - carput behind rear armrest

    the harness for the standalone is 12', but it goes right thru the firewall, so i cut mine down to about 5' or so.



    Jeff N. - where'd you wire your LC-1 in for power and ground?

    Mine is in but I feel it could be better.
