Glad she's back on the road! I noticed that in one of your videos, you had no tach. I'm not sure if you know it already, but heres the steps to hook it up in older chassis:

you have to run a wire from the harness adapter to the c104 port in your glove box. some of the 86/87 had a the tach feed at that port rather than the c101. should be the black wire at at the c104 (3 wire plug behind the glove box that has a green, black and wight/yellowish wires)
to pin #9 on the c101 side or pin #20 at the e36 side both in side the adapter. both wires should be black and 16 gauge (smaller diam)

Glad you finally got it on the road. I think you have your filter on the wrong side of the heat shield tho. :)

Yeah I temp-fixed the tach by jamming a wire in the C104 (although passengers keep boning it up :p), I'm not sure if I want to have the tach/fuel consumption wires going through the C101 or just straight to the DME since it's right there next to the C104 anyway. Either way I need to find a C104 male plug for a nice clean install.

Definitely not slow.

Can't feel all that fast compared to a B30 E46 ;)

Working on shaping the intake and a Mark D. Then unless I decide to do cams I'll probably be done with it until I scrounge up some cash for an S5x or an alloy M52/S52 cams.

For anyone interested, here's the full laundry list of what's done.
M50NV with lightened M20 flywheel and G260, rebuilt Z3 shifter with delrin bushings
S3.73
UUC swaybarbarians (22mm F/19mm R)
Stock blown suspension otherwise
New (Lemforder) LCAs, M3 CABs
E36 steering rack and new E36 tie rods
E32 brake booster and MC
14" weaves with 195/60 RT615s

It goes, turns and stops pretty well :)
Soon to be replacing more suspension stuff.

Could use a drop, but not enough to kill the sleeper look :D
