Finishing touches... Surprisingly I ordered this more than a year ago on ECSTuning when it was unavailable and they held onto my order and shipped it recently. Pretty cool. Glad to finally have a badge on it but it looks a little weird since I'm so used to seeing it without.

Haha - dude you were actually one of my inspirations when I started this project. Anytime I thought, man...how can I do this swap in a driveway with no garage I thought, dude there is a guy in Austin who did a v8 swap in his living room and a parking garage. Made me believe anything was possible.

Personally if I were to do it over, I would make custom wiring for ALL the ECU stuff and fit the relays and mess in a custom box where the battery tray is, like R3V3MUP is doing. There is quite a bit of wiring that can be cut out from the X6011 and X6021 (E46 ETM #s, not Z3M) THough if you do that you could use those plugs to break out power/signal to additions. Next time I am just going to use TE DTM plugs everywhere and several circular connectors. Sure $400 a pop, but worth the ease.

A few pics from RadWOOD Austin. If you have one of these nearby I highly recommend.
I got to share the space with an all original e30m3. It was cool to see the two next to each other.
