      SWEEEEET!

      My X-Ray vision allows me to see that the you have a wicked tranny brace under there. Way to go!

      Did you install the roll cage? I'm liking it!

      Very, very nice.

        You're right! The tranny brace is perfect Doug, thanks again. I found a core if you're interested in taking it off my hands btw.

        I bought the cage a few weeks ago, got it used from a local E30 guy.

            looks clean.
            plan on making a 330i badge?

                  I like the block - screw the haters. Black varient cars can pull off any color block IMO.

                  So where does the E34 harness benefit you? I heard it had some longer wires, but I'd seen a E36 harness on a swap & Joe had one in hand, so I went with it. Where does the extra wire help out?

                  It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

                    So wait which harness is the one to have. A e36 harness or a e34 one. I thought with the e36 harness you could not mount the ecu in the glove box.

                      The E34 harness seems to fit up to the E30 chasis a little bit better, either one will work though. I used an E34 harness because it was what Joe Funk had, really it doesn't much matter what harness you use, either will work.

                      Also, I've got my ECU sitting in my glovebox, I need to adjust the wiring a little bit so I have enough slack to mount in the stock location.

                          Awesome Matt!!! i drove my car for about 150 miles with headers only. it sucked! i did like seeing peoples faces then gunning it. now you need to get the m3 wiring cover to make all that look neat.
                          NEED SOME VINYL STICKERS???
