what resources are you using for your swap?
great car man thats a steal but 4 months is worth it.

[Mr.SWISS]

what resources are you using for your swap?

Me.

Got driveline bolted down wiring mostly run PS hooked up ya kno. Headers don't clear waiting for treehouse.

Got it running tonight!!!!!

Had a heck of a time with the start up though. Was originally getting spark and air but neither the injectors or fuel pump were firing

The ECU I was given wasn't firing on pin 54 to send signal to the injectors but luckily my buddy had a spare which fixed that problem. I finally tracked the fuel pump issue down to the Blue FP relay and pulled the one off my M20.

I'm still waiting on the Tree House control arm brackets to button up the suspension. I also need to tidy up the wiring in the engine bay....


Post 1 updated with some pictures!!!!!!! More to come and Vids...

Got a brand new M-Tech II Steering wheel off a guy in German. Payed $232 shipped!!! What a joke, lol.

Good thing I can speak some German. ha

Sorry to say this dude, but that steering wheel is for an E36, and it won't fit your E30.

Are there differences between mtech2 wheels? just asking because I have one in my car.
