    Yes, I should have elaborated. I had the engine harness from the S14 "temporarily" connected to the 2002 side via a C101 E30 connector. Each connection needed to be tested and then soldered and wrapped. That is one of the things the shop is taking care of.

    Exhaust will be built also while they have the car. Some cool parts will be going into the exhaust, parts that will make the period correct guys happy.
    Oh cool! I'm running the same c101 connection. I thought you meant something along the lines of deleting the c101 haha

    Try to get some pics of the exhaust before it's installed. I'm excited for what's in store :)

    Ryan, why not use a real momo wheel? The fake steering wheel doesn't really seem to match the rest of your build.
    I like the Renown wheel as its brand new and in a smaller diameter than most "period correct" wheels. I do have a vintage MOMO, but I like the feel of this wheel and the quality is great. For a DD its perfect, I might swap wheel for shows, etc.

    I really do like the wheel. We'll see how the smaller diameter works with the steering box and the wider tires.

    Guys, heres the update on the 02. I sent it over to CATuned to be finished. They're checking the wiring, making the harness permanent and cleaning it up, finishing the battery install, checking the fuel system and adding a new fuel pump, and rolling the fenders. Here are the pics from when the Bucket left my possession:

    Ryan- keep up the good work, my friend.

    I'm sending lots of square tail folks over to this thread (page nine especially) to see what the lights look like.

    When you get it out for a test drive, be sure to get a side by side with headlights and tail lights in comparison to any other square tail at night will be fine. I'm curious what they look like, and how they light up the road, compared to their stock brethren.

    Keep on keepin' on, Ryan!
    MoBrighta, Ill be sure to do just that. Ill get some comparable to my friends 74 tii, it'll be a great side by side as he is running refreshed standard equipment.

    Nothing I know of. I just made the mistake of calling one a Momo. I guess it's the steering wheel equivalent to calling a set of ESM002 wheels BBS RS's
