Ok... I'm really going to get on my project now... (lengthy)

Introduction:

Ok... first I would like to kinda reintroduce myself as I have mostly just lurked over the last year. I bought a 1990 E34 535i 5-speed and made it my project bitch. It has thus far had:

1. Complete Engine Rebuild, ARP Head studs, forged pistons, multi layer steel headgasket, and a nice new paint job.
2. TCD Stage 2 turbo build done by Todd at TCD.
3. MegaSquirt ECU designed by Pete Florance of first 5's.
4. 850i front brakes, 540i rear brakes... I thought I could put an E32 750iL master cylinder in it to improve the brake pedal but the bastard didn't fit, so I'm just going to put a new stock one in to replace the old one that has 274k miles on it.

So the drivetrain is solid. I want to give a special public thanks to Jon K for putting up with my megasquirt questions at the late hours of the night, and for finally making a man outta me (and no... I'm not talking about that one time in the prison shower room). I had to diagnose some problems I was having with the megasquirt and after Jon guided me through what I needed to do, and finally told me to "man it up" I was able to diagnose my problem (faulty chip) and I learned a lot.

While the vehicle is not moving I have decided to continue with my interior project, which grows more and more interesting by the day. The car already came with a decent stereo system, but I didn't like the complexity of the install (RCA cables running everyone, some stereo equipment had been taken out as there were cables that just terminated with plugs I have never seen before, etc.)
