Could be worse. I had one that I loaned to my son. He got into making videos and I never saw it again.
What did you do for your Terminator today?

I made it an actual flex fuel vehicle today. Or it will be once I'm able to get back to tuning. I mounted the sensor in the return line right off the regulator.
And I installed the front wheel speed sensor so I can use the MS3's traction control. I now have all the extras I've been wanting to put on the car. Can't wait to drive it again.

Went to a local Caffeine and Cars at a Ford dealership. Woke up at 6:15am, cleaned up the cobra, got there with my 2 sons at 8:30am. HUGE turnout and awesome rides which I’ll have later in video section.
Also tested the GoPro again, but this time with the “wind slayer” I got on Amazon to reduce the wind noise. It made a huge difference as I can actually hear the whine.
FAN-FKN-TASTIC!!
Are you reading the back side of the wheel studs with the sensor? If so did you smooth them out and get rid of any dimple if they had one?
Looking forward to how everything works out once you're tuned. I have my MS3PRO sitting there waiting on me to build the new motor!
Thanks

Yes I do. I can't take the credit though. I got the idea from someone that knows Megasquirt a lot better than me. I was originally going to use the ABS wheel, but this was a lot easier. Crazy part is I could feel the magnet from the sensor when I turned the hub by hand.
I didn't smooth anything out. That'll be another day if it needs to be done. But I think it'll be ok. Honestly, I think I have the most miles on the MS3 set up for these cars. And my car has been down for 6 weeks.
For the first time since 2014, the Cobra left the garage under it's own power today! Took it to our neighborhood car club's first car show/meet. This thing is loud and violent. In the process I uncovered a few more small things it needs: new shifter, resonators in place of gutted cats, possibly tie rod ends, and the tune needs to be cleaned up a bit.
That's awesome bro! 6 years is a long time to be down. Congrats on not giving up on it, a lot of folks would thrown in the towel.

Great work, I'm excited to get mine going and to watch yours and others in the meantime!
KEVIN over on modfords used the wheel studs but he is the one who mentioned that he had to smooth the dimple out due to getting false readings. He didn't have the PnP version but the wheel sensor/traction control is the same.

Mine hasn't moved from the garage under its own power since May 2009.
It's priority is back on the table though and I've been collecting everything to build a brand new 10:1 compression Aluminator with brand new block and Roush ported DC heads and all Cloyes timing gears. Next up are Gibtec pistons and Molnar power adder rods. Gonna top it off with a Whipple 3.0 Gen 5 supercharger!

Got ya beat lol!

I'll keep an eye on it. But then I'm running stock studs and I can't remember if they're smooth or not. I'm probably going to have to climb under the car because of you now.
Although at this point I'm not sure if the studs will be the biggest issue. There's a problem with the VSS1 output that causes the speedo to bounce above 65mph. It seems for most it's about 2mph. But mine sees 5 at times. I'm sure if theres suddenly 5mph difference between the front and rear wheels the traction control will freak out. So it's something I need to keep in mind.

Ouch
What Resonators are you Going with?
3" x 12" Vibrant stainless steel, I'll have them welded in where the gutted cats are now. Should clean the sound up.
Got the exhaust polished up a bit.

Those are the same ones I used a while back with Kooks LTs and a 3" MAC Pro dumps. Made my own midpipe with the Vibrant 3"X12" stainless resonators in place of the cats. Absolutely loved the sound and constantly got people commenting on how good it sounded. Made mine an H pipe but it was not to loud at part throttle and cruising down the highway, but just sounded wicked as hell at WOT.
Very clean and mean sounding! I'll be doing the same thing this next time around with ARH longtubes. May possibly run the exhaust all the way out the back. Just trying to decide which mufflers to use. Want it mild sounding until WOT.
Ken
Awesome! Love an H pipe. Gives it an old school sound.
H pipe FTW.
