Damn, car looks awesome. Rear end came out great.

Dont bother posting a dyno chart unless it is notarized, dated, scanned in on a 1200x1200dpi printer, and uploaded to a secure server. 

I will replicate any resistance/voltage/continuity tests on my own car as a sanity check for you guys since I know ben wasnt sure about the continuity with the relays and fuel pump fuse being legitimate or a problem

Fixing said M20's?

That e30 zone diagram has explanations for testing all the relays too.

This is now the E build thread

The 4 to be cautious of:

The positives that go to the block on the firewall and not mixing any of those up with the ground wire on the strut tower,


The idle control valve and TPS are often mixed up. Check that you can hear/feel the idle control valve humming with the ignition on to know if that is correct.


The crank sensor and cylinder id sensor (inductive pickup from spark plug wire) are often mixed up too. If you didnt mark those then its really trial and error. Id the engine cranks and doesnt start, switch those around
The coolant temperature sensor connectors are pretty simple, just look at the number if actual pins inside the connector. The single pinned plug goes to the brown sensor for the gauge cluster sensor and the connector with two pins goes to the blue sensor for the ecu

This help ish?

Valve cover and intake are wrinkle black, it checks out. 

It's actually a race prepped M20, bro.

Thanks for clearing up the first pic, thought the seats were still in
Lol jk I know what you meant I'm a douche
Carpets look much better
Excited to see this gutted and turned into a full on track car with no carpet

We do actually still work this, albeit not a ton in the past couple of weeks. However, last night we did make a good amount of progress. As soon as the clutch/flywheel and the transmission is mounted to the motor it will be ready to go back in. Probably would have been this coming weekend if I weren't leaving for vacation on Saturday morning. Hopefully the following week.

Also noting, we pressured washed the bay as well as pulled some of the unnecessary crap out. Also pressured washed the block. But we are morons and did it right next to the car, so the whole driver side is covered in a bunch of the crap that was on the block. It’s going to need another good wash after it gets running.

Actually looks like something now.

This is the only reason I come to this site, for quality content like this.

I'm sponsored by StanceNation, bro.

Really cool build. Looks like a nice car too. There's actually a couple of us with GMW's around here.

Almost an M3...lol

Similar to my private group. I only let people in that prefer flamin hot Cheetos. Not looking for any pansies, you know?

Thanks, that was one of the goals for this car. 
I'll grab some interior shots later. Completely swapped the interior to all Anthracite and carbon fiber. It was a wood and beige interior when I bought it. 

Eau Claire, the New Mexico of Wisconsin. You forget its a thing until someone mentions it.

And this is my ticket to move back west. Ive always wanted to live near a bmw factory AND meth heads. Spartanburg cant offer me that right now
