Been an exciting week! My MegaSquirt arrived on Wednesday! Had everything I ordered, but I didn't realize WHEN I ordered the MS3X that a MAP sensor was built into it from the factory. So I'm returning the extra MAP sensor and harness I got. I also apparently had forgotten to order my IAT sensor, so I did that the other night. BUT. This is what the box looked like when it arrived.

There are no scratches on the MS itself, and everything looks good. DIYAutoTune also told me they have never had an ECU not survive shipping, even with USPS. I'm still worried about it, but I think it will end up being ok.

I worked a half day today, then went out to the Pull and Pay yard, and got myself a (actually two) Throttle Position Sensors from E36s. They are a potentiometer type sensor, rather than the three position switch on the E30. Will need to make an adapter to use it, but it is pretty straight forward to make. This afternoon I FINALLY got rear subframe out. I needed to remove the rear segment of the driveshaft. And the reason the subframe bushings were stuck was the pilots that slip into the body had become seized. With some careful finesse with my trusty sledgehammer, and a selection of pry bars and old bolts, I freed it. It felt so good to finally break that thing loose!

I have a banquet tomorrow night for the BMW club, but I'm going to hit it hard in the morning, get the garage cleaned, and get ready to start welding on the replacement subframe.
