I've got MCA gear on my Evo 9. Running a softish spring rate as I've built the car for tarmac rallying. In the meantime though I use the car for circuit sprints/hill climbs etc in the Speed Event Series here in WA and the car has been pretty competitive. He's very good support wise as well. Very happy to spend as long as you like on the phone talking about what you're after. I've had no problems with them. Would buy them again. I originally wanted the 50mm struts but he recommended the 46mm struts for tarmac. They don't take the same sort of punishment as they do on the gravel. He's probably forgotten more than I'll ever know about suspension setup so I followed his advice.

Correct. System works like shown below. Excuse crap paint pic.

You don't need a Haltech ECU for the IQ3s. Racepak sell modules that translate between most aftermarket ECUs and the dash. So they have modules for Motec, Autronic, AEM, Big Stuff, OEM Corvette ECUs, DFI, Haltech, MEFI, Pectel, FAST, XFI and some sort of generic CAN interface. Doesn't look like they do one for PowerFC at the moment. Worth speaking to them though because they are very pro-active if they see a marketing opportunity. There are also two versions of the dash. A full logging version and another that just displays things. The one linked in this thread on modyourcar is the display only version. Either versions can be hooked up to any ECU that has an interface. Or you can run them without any ECU interface at all. Just don't have as much to display or log. There is a guy called Mike Runge here in Australia who is stocking them. I'll try and pull his email off of my laptop if I can get it to work after running it over this afternoon with the Evo Bizarrely enough whilst pulling out the Autronic interface from my IQ3 setup to lend to a fellow IQ3 user whose interface had died and is entered in Targa West next weekend.

Yeah I've got the logger version. I've got it hooked up to my Autronic SM4 so in addition to the 3 axis g sensors, gps speed and location I'm able to log: Engine RPM MAP Throttle Pos AFR (assuming it's the stock oxygen sensor..so useless really...I'll hook up the Zeitronix I have at some point) Battery Voltage Water Temp Intake Temp Manifold Temp Exhaust Back Pressure Cam Angle Injector Pulse Width (the software has maths channels..so I'm able to calc duty cycle) Ignition Timing Knock Retard Wheel Speed I've also got one of their 4 port USM modules which allows you to hook up external sensors. At the moment one port is hooked up to give me fuel level. I've just bought oil pressue and temp sensors which will take up two more ports. Racepak have a great support team. When the guy who was hooking it all up for me ran into a problem he had them on the phone from the States at 5pm their time. The support guy stayed until he'd diagnosed the problem (faulty part). He also logged in remotely and helped configure the dash. Top notch service. They also seem quite receptive to feedback from customers. There have been a number of improvements made to the firmware for the dash at the request of owners, such as having the shift lights flash once all of them are lit up.

I've got one in installed in my Evo 9. Pulled out the OEM dash and mounted the IQ3 on a carbon dash surround I bought from the UK. Had it wired up so that I retain all of the normal dash lights (indicator, diff modes etc). Had fuel level rigged up on the dash as well. Good dash with lots of features. Software is great for circuit, not quite as flash for open tracks (hill climbs/motorkhanas etc). Predictive lap time function is a real motivator when you see yourself going slower than your target lap time. Programmable warnings and shift lights also very nifty. Only problem I've had with it thus far is that the centre large numeral that displays gear/no. satellites has started to fade. Seems to be a common problem with the early units. Racepak are aware of it and are happy to fix it under warranty. I just haven't got around to sending it back!
