Well, over the weekend, there were quite a few projects for das Viereck (the Rectangle):

Installed the E.A.T. chip (91 Oct.) from MarkD.

Installed the COP kit from Doug (using BavAuto higher capacity discharge plasma coils from my E36/8 M coupe).

Installed a MoMo Monte Carlo 355mm wheel.

Painted my washer fluid resevoir black (keeping with my red/black theme).

My engine bay on the day I bought her back on February 10, 2008:

My engine bay today, April 21, 2008:

The MoMo is great (I can keep my hands at 9 and 3 o'clock through many more turns) and it will be even better when I do a E36 3.2 ratio rack this week, in addition to some lighting upgrades, too.

But, most importantly, the E.A.T. chip and COP kit completely has changed the character of the car. She is a little rev beast now.

There was some re-dialing in of the idle and I did need to re-wire the connections to the coil-over-plugs to remedy a cold-start, bogging issue, but now she just sings!

So, thank you very much Mark and Doug! Your excellent work and customer service is greatly appreciated.

Ciao,
Nivola

Car looks really clean! How much do you think the Chip and COP conversion really helped? Anymore plans besides the 3.2 rack? Thanks

I think the COP and the Chip helped with the drivability and the engine response (the butt-dyno is never reliable for accurate numbers!).

And yes, plenty of plans besides the 3.2 rack.

No problem man, glad I made another M42'er happy.

Also I am currently making 20 more

Very Nice!

Great before-and-after shots of the car too. I think I'm gonna have to blatantly copy everything you have done for your car, haha. That Momo steering wheel looks perfect!
