Hey guys!! Been a few years since i last visited this site maybe since 2005!! Couldnt even remember my old username lol! I have a 1992 318i cab in neon blue but had a 325i engine fitted 4 years ago by Iain Temple (wounder if you still on ere, if he is then hi mate) He did a great job on fitting the engine but my car failed its MOT and decided to lock it away until i can be arsed gettin it fixed! Thought i would get it done in a few weeks after that!
3 or 4 years passed then only yesterday, after washing my e46 m3, i was looking at they cab in my garage all dirty full of dust and spider webs and decided to give it a wash too. It took three of us to push i out of my garage due to the flat tyres and sezed brakes and seen it properly in daylight for the first time in 3 years, gave it a wash and honestly, i forgot how much of a nice car it is, i feel so bad i let it get in that state!
Put a batt onto it and it will not start, turns over but seems like no fuel gettin in, really want to get it up and running now just sitting inside makes me wanna drive it so bad!!
Will take some pics of her and post it up soon but will give a quick description:

Ok. nice to know Iain is still here!! Thanks for the welcome guys!
Update on my progress on getting her started, i got another ECU as i suspected the old one was dodgy, and now i can hear the ICV buzzing, which didnt happen before, but still aint fireing up :( might be very low on petrol so will try that next! Just before she got locked away, i got a chip from a guy called ant (from here) and it did add more power but the ideling was always very jumpy and was never right, this might have burnt out the old ecu i suspect :evil:
