Hello guys, some updates on the car and the EFI renovation.
The "new" exhaust came in and I started cleaning and polishing it. Theres a comparison picture:
Messed a bit with the rear seat belts too
The trunk still needs cleaning up, this probably will be the last thing for now
Also I gave the antena to my father so he could play with it a bit...Its now working again :D
This is the trigger wheel (36-1), I drawn it in Solidworks and it was laser cut, and then screwed to the crank wheel.
I made a mockup in solidworks of the Hall sensor bracket
First 3D printed it, then made it in steel
Cables ready
the duct tape is temporary
Im using a VAG 106b coilpack
Also I had a TPD sensor from my Rover 400 laying around, 3D printed an adaptor (ABS plastic) and put it in the stock throttle body. It actualy fits.
Now Im just waiting for the wideband sensor and the I need to finish the speeuino board so I can test everything and start tunning it.

Hello guys, theres been some updates in the car.
After discovering the engine block was cracked, I put in another engine, another AFM, new fuel pump and still with this "new" engine the car wasnt pulling right. Lost power at about 4k rpm. So the problem I suppose was electrical or ingnition.
Then one morning I started to rev the car and this happens
Time for a new exhaust. I brought the mufflers and pipe and started welding as best as I can
Then I found out I need a bigger muffler because this ones are just too loud (glasspack muffler + magnaflow muffler). Theres a bigger one coming next week
Now since the engine stays low on power, instead of buying 30 year old used parts to see whats the problem, I decided to install a Speeduino ECU. And thats where the project stands now.
While waiting for parts I started striping the interior to clean it.
also cleaned the HVAC system and put new seals on. For the carpet, It wasnt the best option because I could find a better method without spend lots of €€, so I used spray paint, fabric and vinyl paint, to experiment. Turned out ok.
Now I just waiting for the trigger wheel and a few parts to assemble the speeduino.

Props for keeping everything stock, it's nice to see someone giving attention to an M10.
