[F34R]

I will have my e30 on the road for another month or so...

[Swanny]

I got no where this week since i bruised my heel last saturday and couldn't really stand.

[F34R]

UPDATES??!?!?!??!?!?!?!? we need to cruise :D

A severe lack of chicken wings were being eaten before working on the car. Historically I've done my best work with wing sauce still in my beard and my fingernails stained orangy red.

Well, it WAS Wednesday...

[Swanny]

I just keep telling myself "about damn time"

Congrats! Isn't that the best feeling in the world?

Yusssssssss!!!!

FrankM e30 came over and we found the issue. The ABS system is different between early and late and in turn the pins @ c101 were grounding out the power after the relay.

A little electrical trouble shooting after the fuel pumps weren't on found the signal from the ecu not there so jumped pin 85 to ground and that triggered fuel.

Took this last night after some chicken wings. I honestly believe that was part of the issue. A severe lack of chicken wings were being eaten before working on the car. Historically I've done my best work with wing sauce still in my beard and my fingernails stained orangy red. Was from the 2nd start as the first time literally scared the hell out of me.

Now to just slap the hoses and cooling system back together and get the proper CSB that blunt sent installed.

I should preface that this is a late model (90) 1.3 harness going into an early (87) 1.3 car that didn't have the fuel injector connector.

[Swanny]

Go to check for fuel today and then *poooooof* main relay smoked.

Any clues as to why that might have occurred?

[F34R]

It is so nice working on clean, brand new parts :)

[F34R]

Here is where we ended up today, I headed out this afternoon and Sean is at just needing a CSB and spend maybe an hour or two connecting some hoses and prettying up the wiring etc.
