    Decided I needed proper documentation on how I wired a few things for troubleshooting, learned this last night at 1am. Coffee!!!

    Besides buttoning it all up, I did have some fun. I installed all new 6 seat shocks. Not a bad job at all. Disappointed when pushing for seat height I don't bounce out of the car like the ejection seat from KITT.

    No exhaust yet, and yes the misfire. It would randomly run fine 1 out of 3 times. I am guessing I need to check my grounds. Tried new coilpacks already. I tried to keep grounds as separated as possible. Any grounds were wire brushed to metal and cleaned with alcohol. The 3 main points I used were Shock Tower, Glove box mount (where the left strap holds to), and the worrisome one is the right glovebox area where the dash bolts to with a body nut. I want it all quite modular and easily removable.

    As the CEL is grounded only via the CAN, I bet that is through the worrisome dash ground. For the LED's I remember I tinned the wires and melted them together vs twisting them together after splaying them out a little, then tinning.

    Do you not have an exhaust on it now or was that the misfire?

    Well all that is left to do is to...ah shoot. I broke the bleeder screw on my Wilwood BBK. Now I got air in the lines again. And off to buy another ez-out set because I left them at a friends.

    Next weekend I will bleed the brakes and clutch, install the heat shields and then to get the Exhaust made. I do have to figure out why my Dash additions by Bavrest (voltmeter, oil temp and pressure) LEDs are dim, bad connection somewhere which is odd as it's all twisted then soldered. Oh well, its not necessary to run, I will fix that and shorten the wiring under the dash later.

    Ya, that's not what I want. But thanks!

    Looked it up, as HTML is disabled and it's not implemented in the version of VBulletin we currently use. It could be added if JC wants.

    If you look at the post number its a clickable link... Thats about as close as you can get in terms of sending a user to a particular post. At least as far as I know.

    BTW is there anyway to do anchor links? IE I want to make an index linking to items in red in OP so it takes you direct to that part of the post.

    Used the CAE super short shift linkage instead and shaved the RTD shift linkage to fit, and put keep the shift adjustment bolt up top.
    NOTE: the CAE 10mm dowel pin is VERY tight, but was perfect for the RTD linkage. So I used 500 grit sandpaper to remove enough anodizing to get it to slide in. You want all pieces just barely friction tight, and do lube them up, so that your shift stroke is smooth. :oops:
    You can buy the shortest or second shortest. I am at the 120mm limit for the shifter. Link in OP.
    BTW no fun to get the linkage off when the driveshaft is installed. Made it easy by drilling a half inch hole above the joint pin so I can pull the circlip off and punch out for future work if needed.

    Yay the RTD shifter came. Pivot point to bottom pin is 3.25" for and aft, and 3.5" side to side. I wish it was adjustable like the Advance Auto Fab shifter

    However it feels great, but I do need to twist my DSSR at the shifter about 7ยบ counter clockwise to get it centered left to right. Or I may just buy the super short CAE DSSR so that it's easily adjustable. BTW check out the adjustable brake bias knob by the shifter :-D Got the interior dirty again :-(

    On another note for the cruise control and ECU gear recognition, I found a better way to make sure the curves stay relative to the gearing just as BMW had it, so the excel spreadsheet is updated in my OP with the rest of the downloads.

    Measured my shift linkage and updated OP, shift linkage is 4.5in / 11.5cm

    RTD shifter on its way and pulled the AKG DTM shifter to sell, pic to come once I install that.

    There won't be any updates till that arrives, and is installed after the new year.

    I don't yet know enough about installing the MK60 and time was running out due to marriage.

    I would still love to but after I clean up the under dash wiring.

    3.73 with 3 clutch installed already. Wish I could do custom gearing for all the gears as it's pretty inefficient not using a lot of the powerband between gears.
