Installed my mpguino - Civic VX

Finally got it in! I used Posi-Taps to tap the VSS and injector wire near the ECU, then used the 12v constant and ground from my radio to provide power.

I considered myself a good mpg-er previously, but this adds a whole new level. It's very easy to see how some of my previous assumptions about engine load and speed were incorrect. For example, I can tell instantly when I drop out of lean burn and need to downshift on a slight hill.

While a good solder job is the best way to do it, I highly recommend Posi-Taps. They're secure, removable, and minimally intrusive.

I have it sitting in the hole where my clock delete plate was. Just need to make a little bracket, and possibly add a 4-pin Molex connector so I can take it out easily.

This is version 1.1 from Quezacotl... highly recommended. Shipping was fast and well packaged. He is now selling v1.2, which looks even better.
