Aftermarket Ecu mounting location

Hi Rx7 world.

Ive been racking my brain to sort out where to mount my adaptronic ecu. I came up with mounting it under the glovebox, keeping the glovebox functional but losing the blower which is not a huge issue considering I never use it.

Does anyone want to share where they mounted their ecu?

Currently have mine just on the floor with wires going everywhere, I am using both sides of the ecu (ie serial connection side and ecu plug side) which makes it tricky.

Pic of my pile for attention.

Ended up doing the same Thanks,

just needed to make a plate for mounting and trim the kick panel to make room for the serial com cables.

I did something similar when I had a PFC F-con before. But I hate losing the glovebox

I relocated mine to the glove box once, there was no real benefit and now I just keep it place.
