i would venture to think they make them pull the wheel speed sensors is because if their on there thats grounds for the teams to come up with a cheater traction control. i had an SCCA spec miata team approach me one time wanting me to build them cheater ECU's that where basically a megasquirt ECU inside the factory ECU enclosure. i built them one and told them i dont want to know what their doing with it and i hold no responsibility if they got caught doing what i thought they where going to do with it. all these teams will cheat to get an edge over the others if they know they can get away with it because its hard to detect radical electronic modifications especially if they are hidden by the factory car manufacturer.
oh and the spec miata team did do what i thought they was going to do with it and got caught running that ECU on their car. someone decided the ECU needed changes mid race and a track official seen them hooking a laptop to the ECU in the pits and making changes. that got them flagged and penalized lol. if i had thought about it i should have added a bluetooth to serial converter inside the ECU so that they didnt have to get close to the car to make changes lol. the lesson i learned is cheaters never win and play by the rules or they will eventually catch you.
Thats hillarious!! Spec miata is about the last thing on the planet that needs tc.
What are they running nowadays, 125-130 whp?
The car that won the runoffs in 06 was like 116whp iirc
I think the big thing back then was calibrating the flow sensor and swapping around ecus till you found one with the highest rev limit. Not sure why/how that worked.
