It roars! I finally carved out some time last week to code the EWS to the DME/Dash Cluster using INPA on a laptop. The engine sat for a few months, so the lifters clacked at first -- but then it evened out and purred like a tiger. I ended up making the power steering pump spacers from some scrap aluminum on my Harbor Freight mini-lathe; I can provide dimensions if anyone is interested. I just need to button up a few things in the engine bay, put the front (bumper, grill/surround, lights, etc.) back on, and then I can drive it. Then I need to complete coding out the auto trans to get rid of the Check Engine light. Yay! __________________ Sleeper Calypsorot 1996 318ti tintop.
