I think im just going to mount the ecu in the battery tray like an E34. The harness just isint long enough for it to go in the glove box without pulling on it harder than Im comfortable with. Im going to make a sealed box for it.

It will 110% definitely fit in the glove box, but with the plug to the firewall side. I've done several swaps and can assure you I am telling the truth. Building a box for it in the engine bay is pretty damn "ghetto".

Got the car back yesterday. The temp gauge turned out to be the cluster its self. He did not end up finding it but he gave me a cluster to try out. The brakes turned out to be the rear calipers had some gunk in them and they were clogged. Have the fan going on at all times and it keeps the needle in the middle on 70 degree days.

Still have a lot of stuff to do till im done with phase one but here are some pics of the current situation.







Going to get an E36 PS pump res bracket soon.

Ya they can be pretty nice if you make sure the legs are tied down to something sturdy. Had one blow around the back yard in a wind storm a few years ago. Did one of the eta motor swaps in it as well and hung lights from the frame.

[bimmer_E30]

Sounds good. it will be a good a garage with a home made heater to do quick little things in when shiz hits the fan in a -30C weather.

[Wishno87]

They are pretty durable. Snow gets pretty heavy though. You will need to put a new tarp over the top every few years though.

[bimmer_E30]

Dont worry they are for sale Lol.

[Matt-B]

You sold it to your gf? ballin. My gf hates my Sportmax...
?

So do I


i kid i kid lol

[bimmer_E30]

I wonder how it will hold up in snow and heavy duty canadian winter Lol. I might be moving out to an Appartment and ending up parking the E30 outside :/

[Wishno87]

Ya pretty much. The tent we got as costco for 200ish or something like that. My dad uses it as a paint booth in the summers. We have three now lol.
