couple questions: first off i got a 00' EK coupe with a Y8 in it... that motors' dunzo and i was a little tight on budget so i just decided to buy another Y8 and turbo it again...
Im almost done with the swap but my question is if its easier to drop in the motor with the wire harness on it already? or should i drop the motor in and then connect everything? whats easier?
also i was removing the starter cable that goes from the batt to the starter (the batt was disconnected but connected it again to roll up my windows and forgot to unhook it) and sparks came out! could that have hurt anything? will the starter still work? or whats up?
any help would be awesome! Thanks H-T

i think it would be smarter to hook up wires with the motor in the car. And the starter should work just fine as long as you didnt fry and wires.

definately easier with the motor in the car. just label everything. most plugs are one matching and dont hookup to anything else, a couple are tricky and fit in one or two different places.
