What did you do to your E30 today?

[fresh_TD]

Cleaned head and pistons!

Traced a parasitic amperage draw on my car all day. Narrowed it down to the gauge cluster. Fuse 21 circuit, SI board?

What did you do to your E30 today?

I used it to haul a bunch of crap from our old house to our new house.

Who needs trucks :p

[young_esquire]

New belts, seamfoamed the engine, and put in rebuilt fuel injectors

[MonkeyMadness]

Filled the M62b44 with new oil... :D

[rzerob]

Unsoldered the inspection bulb on SI board thinking it would stop my parasitic draw. It didn't so I pulled the whole light board. Still nothing. So I soldered the bulb back in and accepted my fate that I need to buy a refurbished SI board.

I bought seats for it yesterday.

I got it inspected today. It passed.

Replaced door handle and door handle trim a week ago. Changed the oil, oil filter and fuel filter. Cleaned oyt some sort of vacuum flange with carb cleaner. Cars running a lot better now :D

[DER E30]

Parts patiently waiting to be installed on the IS. (Rotas may be track wheels. Not sure yet)

Wow! I would not have that much patience! Parts are usually on my IS before the rumbling of the UPS truck fades away...

I went for a nice long drive up in the mountains near my house to find zen... It's somewhere between 4 and 6.5k revs... Mission accomplished, I love driving in the dark when nobody else is around.

Replaced 1 of my camber plates, spherical bearings. Thanks to Einstein57, I now know how to do this job, without removing my whole assembly.

Stared, felt her and thought of all the things she needs!

finally installed my garagistic odometer gears hoping to fix my trip meter.

[rob-redm]

I finally found the last electrical gremlin in my car. When I bought the car from the PO, the fuse 10 would blow if I used the power windows too long. Power window circuit is fuse 17. And the windows would work with fuse 17 removed. So I figured the PO tapped into fuse 10 circuit to power the windows. I was in this frame of mind because when I bought the car the fuel pump relay was bad and instead of replacing it he just put a jumper wire in the fuse box. This is just one example. Any way I searched for where they tapped in and couldn't find it. Followed the wiring diagram and everything looked fine. I noticed a red/black wire with connector disconnected near the C302. While I was trying to figure out where it went I noticed the white/black wire and the green/blue wire didn't line up. I check continuity from the fuse box, fuse 17 circuit on the plug it was connected to and I had really high resistance. I checked the plug that the white/black wire was inline with and perfect continuity. I plugged it into it's correct spot and that fixed it. PO must have unplugged it at one point and plugged it into the first spot that fit. Now my windows are on the correct circuit with a 30a fuse and the 7.5a fuse on fuse 10 circuit isn't blowing every time I use my windows. Now I need to find out what the red/black wire connector is supposed to connect to.
