So I've had this thing since last summer but I'm finally gunna be able to put some time into it as college is a month and a half away from being over. I bought my daily driver zowie (see sig) last summer as well but soon after I started driving it I realized this was not going to be a shell i could keep for a long time (rusty as fuck). So I set out on a search for a clean plastic bumpered shell. One day I was driving to work and spotted it amongst some other thorn apart e30's. I left a note on it for the owner and a few weeks later I had it for $300 and a 3.73 lsd. My original plan was to just swap the m20 from my 88 in to it but through some old connections I was able to source a lower mileage m20 that was in an automatic then I found a 5 speed tranny and never looked back. So now all I have to do is start putting it together, I am on spring break now so I've been able to spend some time preping everything for summer. Heres some pics of the progress so far everything is still pretty raw so bear with me:
Its dirty as shit I know
Also I was hoping someone on here could help me out, what is the easiest way to tell if an m20 is jetronic instead of motronic? The reason I ask is because when I went to rewire the engine today (who ever took it out cut all the wires to do so) I noticed that the fuel rail on the intake that came with it looks different than the m20 in my 88. Now this caused some concern for me because the wiring harness I bought and car the m20 is going in to are both late models. Does this mean i have to convert it to motronic? and if it does what does that parts list look like? Thanks in advance and I'll update as this develops.
