    Lookin good Kev. An m20 will wake this thing up nicely. Keep us updated and let me know if you have any other questions.
    Wiring for the m20 should be a lot like the 2002. There should be maybe 3 wires from the e21 body harness to the m20 engine harness that need to be spliced together. Im sure its easy info to find on the net.

        thanks guys. yeah I already researched the wiring. pretty simple to get it running. I might not have time to make the tach and speed work. I need to modify an e30 and e21 cluster. If I do the swap I will save that for later.

                Me just messing around. I dont like 16s on e21 though. too big. I like 13s and 14s.

                I hope to. Some motivation. I hope to have it as a combination of these 2 cars soon. I like the 13s on the tan car, and i Ihave the same side skirts and spoiler as the white one.

                I have. So I actually bought an e30 m10 with the harness ecu and all sensors to swap from my CIS k-jet system to e30 EFI L-jet system, then later on I want to swap to LH jet and go turbo.

                I was really luck at the pick n pull and an e30 with an m10 showed up 3 days before and was not touched yet. Still complete. Im hoping it was in the junkyard due to auto trans problems. I will open up the motor soon and check/ refresh it

                Are the auto trans a known weak link? I sure hope so cuz that means more likely the m10 I bought is fine and the auto trans is why the e30 went to the junk yard.

                  This is cool. I will have to scratch the E21 itch at some point. Looking forward to more updates!
