bradnic good to see you back! haha

[AWDBOB]

I better get to see this thing before you move!

I added an electric top sync diagram to the convertible top technical posts created by Albert Ploeg in the Netherlands. Does a wonderful job of explaining when the four top microswitches are active.

this vert looks like it's completely stock and straight out of the euro accessories catalog. gorgeous, but no mtech1 side skirts. just love how only the trim piece on the mtech1 spoiler gets painted

found another pic! stripes are gone, has MT1 side skirts and not shadow lined, so probably not be the same car


and a coupe too (thanks 325IXbaurtc2)

I still have my MT1 body kit, but I'm quite happy with the jimmy hill / shadowline / painted euro-bumper look.

Looks like early august to finally do the engine swap. more to come.

This will be awesome, the only thing I am bummed about is I don’t get to see this car in person anymore.

Can't wait to see this happen :)

Thats great about that score you got the mirror. My non heated works like a charm.

Yes, no excuse this time. Get to it then with the swap, lol.

Would be cool to meet up. Good luck on swap.

monty23psk Hey there…. Still have that heated driver mirror for my IX coupe..

since I’m in Charlotte now I have no excuse lol. May have Callie’s motor swap done. I’ll try to get e30rapidic and N2MYE30 to swing by on the way

Looking good Brad. Getting back into is the best and congrats on all the recent changes. You making it out to Vintage this year?

[bradnic]

Thats good you’re back on it. 😎

Thanks Raul. I need to catch up on your builds.. new house and new gig kept me away from wrench time. Glad that's behind me.


AWDBOB hooked me up so it looks like I'm set engine control wise! Thank you sir.
Now to find another whodwho ECU for the 86 325 IE 2.9 build.

well finally getting back into it. I have a nice detached garage in the new house, with room for a real lift. So I'll be selling my HF scissor lift later this year. It hasn't been usable though because it's been stuffed full of tools, parts and boxes. Besides that the builder wired it up with a single 15A circuit brought over from the main service panel to the house. I ended up installing a separate 200A panel for the garage, in part because that was the only way I could get the power company to buried the feed from the service pole.

the MM3200 and tranny have been sitting in their packaging. But the spouse has ruled, so installing them is the top priority. I still need to get whodwho to answer my texts... I'm completely set on once of his motronic enclosure pnp setups for the build. as to the Dbilas ITBs, they will stay on for now. If as I suspect the midrange torque drop is gone post tune I'll leave them there, and use the RHDs I picked up from AWDBOB on Cosmo.
I'll post pics later this week
