(This is all from the 21st)
Driving to the car I saw a roofrack'd E39 M5, I'd rock it.
I picked up some metal 90 degree fittings at an auto parts store since I couldn't find any DSM MC fittings.
Fit pretty well, I'm a little worried about brake fluid seeping through the threads but it's not like they'll be seeing any significant pressure, so it'll probably be fine.
With the 2002 reservoir attached.
Since I lost like 3 of those damn intake manifold flange nuts (M7x1.00mm if anyone's wondering) I got some replacements, so the IM is down tight now.
Got some throttle body bolts since that's what I was missing last time. The old throttle cable was a bitch to get out of the firewall, had to use vice grips from the passenger compartment side, then a sledge and pound down on it from the engine bay. E34 throttle cable was very easy to get in by comparison, now I'm stuck trying to figure out the cruise control.
Intake boot and MAF are on. Don't worry I've got a ricer cone filter to fit on it.
Cool shot
The GF was nice enough to write down the X20 -> C101 adapter while I was typing it out and verifying it :)
Now here's the final shitty picture with the adapter installed. I'm going to make sure everything's right on the adapter before I make it look pretty and seal it up.
Now fast forward to today--fixed a ground connection, wired another power connection and I think we're in business. I got a CEL when I turned the key, believe I got a fuel pump relay click and when I went to test the starter I got a solenoid click but it immediately gave up and refused to click again. Will be back tomorrow with some jumper cables.
