    Thanks to MarkD and to Doug (haledj)

    Well, over the weekend, there were quite a few projects for das Viereck (the Rectangle):

    Installed the E.A.T. chip (91 Oct.) from MarkD.

    Installed the COP kit from Doug (using BavAuto higher capacity discharge plasma coils from my E36/8 M coupe).

    Installed a MoMo Monte Carlo 355mm wheel.

    Painted my washer fluid resevoir black (keeping with my red/black theme).

    My engine bay on the day I bought her back on February 10, 2008:


    My engine bay today, April 21, 2008:


    The MoMo is great (I can keep my hands at 9 and 3 o'clock through many more turns) and it will be even better when I do a E36 3.2 ratio rack this week, in addition to some lighting upgrades, too. :)



    But, most importantly, the E.A.T. chip and COP kit completely has changed the character of the car. She is a little rev beast now. :D

    There was some re-dialing in of the idle and I did need to re-wire the connections to the coil-over-plugs to remedy a cold-start, bogging issue, but now she just sings!

    So, thank you very much Mark and Doug! Your excellent work and customer service is greatly appreciated. ;)

    Ciao,

    The COP has performance gains? I thought it was a good idea since it removes the usage of plug wires.

          Not really, just less to go bad and less expense to maintain.

            Definitely. The main gains I experienced were from the chip. My plug lines were original (and not good), so the gains of good spark were also experienced -- just in my case or for those with bad OEM plug lines.

                  Did you shorten your connectors to the new coils?

                  I just got my kit and think I can just hide the extra wire behind the harness cover.
                  Im questioning taking those connectors apart. There so old and brittle.

                    Nope, did not shorten them.
