Plug-n-play megasquirt IS a full on standalone. It completely replaces your stock ECU.

It is open-source, so in many cases, if there's something you want it to do that it won't do, you can ask someone to write that feature for you, or add it yourself. I personally have added code that makes staged injection work better, and makes rotary trailing ignition work. (It didn't work before I fixed it), and some other bits and pieces of code as I've had various itches to scratch.
If you want one, get in on the group buy in the group buy section.

There are whole wirte ups everywhere about how to make bio deisel. The most famous being the conversion of VW buses and using fast food oil to run them. Fast food companies have to pay to dispose of their oil/ grease so they didn't mind if people took it for free...otherwise they just put it in the food ;-)

you could do it by just running a turbo....

Upholestry shop info wanted
Anyone have good recommendation for upholstery shop to re-do my vert top and seats? I got a quote from G&S Upholestry and the guy who runs it seemed very knowledgable about RX7 tops...
