Well, received a call from Chris Castro last week, making good on his promise to see my project through and make everything right... He shipped it over to Derek @DMS and I received news from Derek that he has completed the über sano MS3 assembly... And the harness install is underway! I think I can smell gasoline! :)
MS3 /MSX... Itty bitty living space...
Pretty discreet, cause that's how we roll!Rich!Comment

I'm pretty sure Derek has that covered... Of course you'd have to specify your options.Rich!Comment

Well, forgive the long drawn out thread, I have been without my car for 23 months, 3 weeks, 1 day... Well you get it. But Derek (DMS) has promised that my car will be up and running for pick up at Castro's on Friday 12/14/12 the 2 year anniversary, with its new MegaSquirt3 & turbo gear! I am anxiously awaiting the minute... That means if the Mayan calendar is right I have 6 days to drive it!!! :( Needless to say I'm disappointed at the many timeframes and lack of pics to keep you updated, but relieved it is coming to an end.
I MISS MY CAR!!!! FRIDAY guys, stay tuned...Last edited by ///schwartzman; 12-11-2012, 08:21 PM.Rich!Comment

What time on 12/15? That's the same day as Dockweiler."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Tuning issues was the main hold up, and Chris thought Osh would be able to burn a custom chip which didn't pan out... So he suggested going back to MegaSquirt 3 this time all new hardware, ID-1000 injectors, COP etc. etc. the "other projects" should've been in line...
Thanks! The goal is to make it to Dockweiler & Archie's... Derek says its going well. I don't expect to be able to run crazy boost until we fine tune a few maps and get the EGT & knock controller set up, but just to be able to represent will be the best Christmas present right now.Last edited by ///schwartzman; 12-11-2012, 06:09 PM.Rich!Comment

Tuning was the big hold up? Damn that really does suck.

Yup... The tuning has been drama. Cold start and dumping fuel mostly, but with a second set of new injectors and COP instead of dizzy wires that always go bad I think Derek can get the issues under control... He is pretty meticulous, I think he went wire by wire through the harness to make sure there was no install issues when it comes time for tuning.Rich!Comment
