It has been about 1 month now since I have returned with the new S52 install. It has been a great month driving to work every day! She really likes to run now and driving the tollway is great early in the AM (nice 70-80 mph). Anyway, now I have bought my new set of rims
I think she is going to look very nice. Also, my fuel economy is a lot better than before the swap. I will be buying the MPG corrector in the forum and put that in the summer. I also bought the last set of the hood/trunk seals to put on.
The only nagging issue is a fuel sender (I believe). The gauge goes from Full to Empty with about 6 gal of fuel usuage. I replaced the sender from behind the driver seat and when I opened it, the tank was pretty full (gauge read under 1/2). I need to open the other side and take look in there (harder with the pump. etc there). Is there anyway one side of tank can be full and the other side (with pump) empty on an 89 (How does the tank equalize between the 2 sides over middle hump?).
I should have the rims refinished within a few months and will update with new pics of her then :). Now the project this weekend is a full wax and clean (along with the wife's honda). She actually enjoys driving it also. She has never drivin a standard before and I was amazed at how well she did on this! I guess with the engine power, she did not stall it out too often.
Here are a few pics.
Inside: Needs Mtech wheel now:) I also want to order the Mtech door sills for it. Makes a nice finishing touch! What do you think about the Bavarian Auto floor mats? I likes the 2002 look.. They are a woven grass mat which has held up nice.
A few Outside pics. I am really liking the unique side skirts. The dealer up here has never seen them on a E30 before. Bavarian Auto got them from Europe and apparently they were Europe only option (some Aero Kit form that time). Anyway, they were to be Mtech II sides, but this makes her unique. (I also cannot count the number of times at the gas station up in Frisco how many complements I get from divers of a lot more money BMW's and mercedes :))
Now back to work :)
If anyone has any input on the fuel issue, please respond :)
To do list (I figure I will get one done every few months-still recouping the install cost...):
New tires and rim refinish
smoked front signals
Euro plate for front
M TEch II steering wheel
UUC Shift knob and boot-would like to find an older anniversary edition with the red top
eventually get some sport seats in there. The interior is in great condition so it is hard to justify the expense..
