If you are thinking of buying an ECU this will be a great oppurtunity to hear about the products available for all Mx5 models 89 through to 04. No need to book just come along! See you all there

I should be heading down but probably not in the 5 given the start time and day (only finish uni at 5)

so who else will be going??

Wasn't aware of it, but I might tag along. I should be able to finish work at 5 and be able to get there by 6 without too many dramas.

is it fairly customisable? does it do variable boost control ? water injection? things like that?

Hmmm? Oh, I just went for the free pizza :P

In all honesty, I have no idea about ECU's (funny that considering my background) so I didn't really learn overly much. I think I need to do some reading on it all before I can comment on whether I think any of it is good or not. Which means I'll probably forget about this thread by the time I've learnt something interesting :P
