It's lowered just a touch, maybe an inch or so. It's on OEM supra springs and supra bilsteins. The car does actually sit a little lower than that pic suggests. Just when I take it off jack stands the suspension must still be pumped up higher. One drive around the block and it sits a little lower. You can actually get a better representation of how it sits on the dyno picture rather than the plastidip pictures. The dyno pic is it's normal stance.

I have thought about putting it back on some eibachs though. But honestly it already feels really low getting in/out of it, and going up curbs, so I'm not sure I really want it any lower.

It feels low cause you drive a monster truck for a DD ;)

Hopefully getting new drivers will fix the issue! that really stinks. If it doesn't fix it, do you plan on going to AEM or a different standalone?

Haha. Just heard back from DIY, they gave me the text book answer of "replace the whole MS3x card, order it on our site. Thanks".

MS is cool and all, but just seems like vendor/product support leaves a lot to be desired. Then again I've never had AEM, Pro-EFI, etc so I don't have anything to compare it to. Maybe they're all like this. I still like MS, just anyone else considering it I think should be aware that it is very much DIY oriented, and expect to figure shit out yourself with minimal support. If it wasn't for Jordan in Florida that has done this a million times and helps me out, I'd be up shit creek.

How much does that card run?

$100 + shipping. I think all I need are two small chips however, probably a buck a piece. Wonder if I can just source some myself.

The two tiny black components (Q1 & Q2) soldered to the board are what I believe I need.

Considering it is DIY, and those look easy to remove, Id just replace them.

Yep, since MS3 is built to handle 8 cylinders, I'm going to replace the bad ones with the 'spare' ones to get it back on the road asap. Then probably figure out the manufacturer part number and see if I can't just order up some more and install them in the 2 spare slots later.
