haha remind me what I was going to look up for you. I knew I was going to do some research for you while Im "working"

[freeride53]

This car is fantastic. I love it. Also Rick Steves ftw.

[Wardie]

Thanks freeride there's been a lot of hard work into this bastard.

Simon, uhhh probably the starter issue. I had a few other things I'll need to know but I'll get there.

Yea I've seen that.

waffles, I wish I was close. We could get most of the wiring knocked out in a night

Looking good, I really love the smaller tails with the plastics.

[Wardie]

Thanks guys, I've made some real progress tonight replacing fuel lines and jumped up on the starter. Here's a picture of what I've done, not sure if its right or wrong but I will find out.

Connected large red and black wires to the main pole
Cut the spade connection off the black/green and put a female spade on the lower spade on the starter
However if any one has any idea what the thinner black wire does that would be greatly helpful. I hear you attach it to the top spade?
(Second image shows small black wire, comes off the thicker red wire.)

Waiting on Paolo with parts. I got the alternator in and guessed on the starter and replaced fuel lines

[Wardie]

If anyone knows or can point me in the direction of 07/1985 325e C101 Square pin out that would be fabulous. I cant find any that match mine.

isnt that what I sent to you?

[Wardie]

No haha. But seriously what's up with my megasquirt. When I click then key on without it plugged in to a PC it seems fine. When I plug it in to my PC I can detect it for about 5 seconds then I hear the fuel pump restart up a few times and is no longer detected by the computer.

late model plastic bumpers and rear apron retrofitted onto an early model is the most aesthetically pleasing combo. It creates the perfect e30 body style in my opinion. Looking good man.
