Post your Unique E30 Mods!

i have a couple things on my car.

ABS door panels, nylon web door handles and latch pulls, and custom lock mechanism that is oversimplified and eliminates the plungers for the locks:





ABS delete pieces for the HVAC panel, as well as a USB charge port and standard 12v cigarette lighter socket. also relocated my window switches to the HVAC panel so i wouldn't have any wiring running across my bare floorpan.

So I get the voltmeter, what are your other digital gauges showing? Oil pressure and oil temp? I bought a voltmeter similar to what you have installed in there (same type of display, size etc) off of amazon for around $12. I also bought a spare cluster frame from a parts yard to dremel around on before I take it to my complete cluster.

I'd be interested in adding some more if they have proven to be useful, however!

Not a fan of carbon fiber myself but I do like the idea of one gauge face a different color than the others. I've kicked around the idea of trying to get e30dad to design me a tach overlay for my car.

Any regrets with your cluster or did it all turn out how you wanted it?

looks like oil pressure in bar, oil temp, volts, and wide band to me.

no links to the fishtank hvac system?

I did the h4/h1 conversion

I once got bitched out by some dude on a local bmw board for suggesting this over his used, old, smoked euro ellips he was trying to sell

...true story

there's a whole huge rare parts thread. use that one.

Mods and rare parts are not the same.

I wired my cigarette lighter to be the toggle switch and volume for my Iphone/ipod connection. I mainly did this so I could install an original BMW cassette deck so a) looks correct and b) I can leave the top down and not have to worry about someone stealing some aftermarket stereo that sticks out like a sore thumb.

Also, 8k tach for my S52 swap.

If I had a Japanese car I would get a set of those green light up license plates. Those are badass.

I guess something cool and unique I did to my car would be I wired the rear fogs to come on with the rear tail lights at the same brightness. Ie now I have four taillight bulbs instead of two.

Also installed an e34 dome light in place of the check panel b/c it's an old car and I'm gonna be checking things anyway. Plus it never worked right

i'm fairly certain i'm still the only one to ever do this:



they are LED turn signals, inside the low beams. (they are both on via the flashers for the photo)

A 97cm (38") short rear one piece custom drive shaft is one of my unique mods on my AWD E30 M50 turbo ;)

This is a pretty cool idea. The entire front end looks good.

[QUOTE=J.Rizo;4595444]I wired up a genuine Honda parking pole from an early civic to my diving boards.

paired with the plate, my wheels, and my rhd swap (and other future plans) I think it looks pretty damn cool:D



Love the vibe I get from your car, beautiful shot as well!

Also the mk3 VW lip looks good. I know only a handful of people who've done it, myself included

[325isdan]

helps keep those engine temps down

The finger lip on the fuel filler door is gone - I flattened it in a press during repaint. The fuel door is still pretty easy to open by pushing the hinge side.

[stonea]

^ Thats pretty cool. I thought about trying to retrofit the e46 door door lock thing

[Stanley Rockafella]

Is that an alum. rear bumper you have mounted on the front?

If so, that's a very creative way of cleaning up the front end while keeping it stock-ish
