Hey All,,, yes I swear I did search, I searched here and Googled.
Reason I am posting yet another thread about this subject is I did not find anything on 325ic or Rev, or Googling.
All yield alot of people asking the same questions but not any good "what to do" tutorials.
Most answers were "go to a scrap yard, find a manual car, take everything" ---or--- "don't convert it to manual electric tops on E30s are cool".
I will say I'm an old, stubborn manual kind of guy, so converting this highly over-complex electric rig to manual is really the direction I would like to go.
I like simple & easy.
The day that comes when I'm too feeble to put up or down my own top I'll sell the car.
There is a guy selling a kit to convert electric to manual that looks somewhat slick,,, ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxV9dgID_Gw ) but,,, when I emailed him he was not very forthcoming on what his kit consists of, or how it installs, just what it costs, so I am leery of purchasing sight unseen.
Anyone seen his kit or dealt with him and know what it consists of or how it installs? I like what appears on the surface to be a pretty simple option but I hate buying things without knowing what makes it tick, how it works, how it installs.
Or --- are there any other options I may be missing?
Thanks for any information you may share.
cheers
