        I also do harness conversions. Adapters suck and look like dookie IMO

          I could do either, they'd just have to ship the harness.

              Gregslow sent me the wrong harness, I think I got mine for a m20 powered car, many of the pins aren't lined up. I am trying to solve this right away.

                seriously, it's easy to do if you spend some time researching. I'm in the process of pulling my adapter out and swapping on a C101 connector for that cleaner look....and removed all the unnecessary wires this afternoon. Also planning to move relays back to where they mount on an M20 harness and going to move the diagnostic port (just not sure where yet).

                I hadn't done too much automotive wiring before but once you get in there and sort wires out and bundle together, its pretty damn easy. I did mine on the kitchen table in less than one hour.

                  It really is easy, and doing it yourself gives you some knowledge of the electrical system that you just might find useful if things don't go smoothly on completion.

                  If everybody poured over the ETms we'd have less "where does this plug go?" threads around here. And way less "why won't my car start threads?"

                    use the E30 M3 harness cover. there is a place for 4 relays inside the cover and the diagnostics port mounts on the drivers side of it. it's perfect. I hated that aux relay box on the M20, it always got in my way.

                      I haven't installed it yet but Nando (Chris) did a clean job on my harness conversion! Pro work man!

                      We'll see how it works once my swap is complete but I'm sure it will be just fine.

                          I have parts for 2 more adapters and 2 more harness conversions

                          I have to finish butters' harness, poor dude - the guy he got the harness from hacked off all the relays, so I gotta fix that too. :(
