    Ahahahahahahaha.... I saw the set up, the mark take the bait, and the take down....

    It really is a shame about the AEM not working, but who knows, it could be a blessing in disguise.

    PM me for detailing services in the Longmont / Boulder Area in Colorado!

        I've been bench testing the ECU for a couple days. I think that part of the issue was my shitty laptop... I've upgraded and am going to check for spark tonight.

              I'm probably going to put the fenders, flares and sideskirts on tonight...

                Still fucking with the aem, but on a positive note: flares look sweet!




                The fender color is a little off, but I'll take care of that in the future...

                  Newman, how was the fit and finish of Ary's Mtech-1 replica spoiler that you have on there?

                    I had to open the holes in my trunk up a bit to accommodate the bolts. It fits pretty good, but I should have put a little bit of filler on it to smooth it out.

                    Minor body stuff like that doesn't bother me though. I'm not building a show car...

                      Oh yeah, those are MTECH1 skirts with the lines shaved off of them.

                          looks good. I don't really like the lines/stripes of some of the early BMW kits. Early ix sideskirts were like that too.

                          so do you get spark yet? :p

                              I have diagnosed the AEM problem.

                              It all boils down to my main relay control (pin 16) this took a LOT of fucking around to figure out, but I am going to bypass the ECU relay control and just wire the relays to the ignition switch.


                              My tuning buddy is coming over tonight...

                                The difference between this thread and the old MT1 cut-up thread is amazing.
