    Oil leak, Big Mess. Some how the oil filter got fine cracks in it. I guess it was from the heat coming off of the header, that's all i can think of. So i got a new filter and oil and it fixed that problem.

    FOR ICLEAKS

    (By windshield delete you mean the epoxy resin that fixes cracks ?) If you do, I did, as long as the crack is new and you keep it clean (tape it) so that dirt does not get in the crack, they dissapear, if the crack is dirty it will turn brown.

    wheel bearing is getting worst

    fuel guage is starting to go a little crazy, it sucks worst because my odometer is out, so i always worry about running out of fuel.

    current major problem:
    turbo, manifold, and wastegate just sitting in my room waiting for my wallet to refill itself.

    other problems:
    tac doesnt work
    broken front bumper
    sloppy shifter
    steering wheel moves about a 1/4 an inch in and out (momo hub adapter for a pre-airbag is different than a airbag collum)
    rusted muffler

    forgot to say that the starter sounds like death when turning over. Really really annoying.

    Could be simply loose, play with the connector on the backside of it and the bulb. Mine did the same thing for about a week, then I broke the bulb trying to get it out. Just got a replacement a few days ago.

    Yesterday - Found cracks in the windshield from loading new 42" tv (dad's x-mass suprise for stepmom) into my convertible (passenger seat removed for the day). Worst self-inflicted e30 problem I've experienced other than purchasing an e30. Anybody tried windshield delete?

    My dash lights work funny, the left side of the dash turns off sometimes, a good tap with the finger turns them on, will have to check for loose things.

    - vaccuum leak from god knows where - replaced EVERY gasket (intake included), did everything, can't find it, I think it's a cracked intake manifold

    - old smokey on startup

    - leaks oil like a sieve

    - no sound system

    - sunroof rails are fucked, basically jammed, so it stays just a centimeter down in the back

    - power windows don't work
