I placed it on top of the smokers package console cover, but that was just to see the lights were working and to show it off a little

Hi Five Tom !! Great job !
I am lovin' it

Very glad it worked well.

I've been cleaning up the design/functionality/software quite a bit since the one I made for you, and am looking to have some produced professionally (since hand soldering is a pain). Shouldn't be too long now...

Any way to re-post some of the pictures showing the connection point in the engine compartment? Most pictures are not showing up anymore.

Yes, sorry... DropBox apparently changed their image hosing rules so I need to move all the pictures over to another service.

Does the Clubsport use vacuum-controlled exhaust valves for loud vs. quiet modes? I'd doubt that on a race car...
