Car is looking great Glnr13! Will follow your progress on the tucked radiator with interest - I'd like to do one on mine so that I can reinstate a clutch fan and run AC.

No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

What modifications did you do to get the IE headers to fit?

this is the pinout. I spliced and soldered the harness, cut an end off of the harness from the junks.
Pin 15 has no use on the m30. It's kind of really trippy that the m30 can just run on the 7-8 pins off of the m10 harness.

Awesome work. Curious about the clearance of the entire engine and the radiator, not just at the distributor cap, but also at the waterpump. Keep the content coming dude. And here's an awesome video to keep you motivated: https://youtu.be/I2il7mYVi1gPaynemw
