        so i continued progress on my wiretuck today and got a lot of stuff done.

        if everything goes well i will have a worth update tomorrow for all your guys that are subscribed to my thread ;)

        edit: does anyone know what this wire is for? its located on the driver side, headlight area and is not a highbeam, lowbeam, or either of the turn signals.

          That's for the coolant sensor on the radiator.

            Edit: MR. 325's answer sounds more likely.

            Also, Check out AST suspension stuff. I know of a auto-x E30 and E30M3 who have their set-ups. The owners love their products.

              hmm that actually might be a possibility. do you know if i have to send my stock struts to them beforehand?

              and are the cooland sensors on both sides or just one, because i labeled the other side but must have missed this one.

                Not sure on that, but I can check tomorrow. They have lots of different levels of adjustability and their damper systems ride amazingly well. I would just give the guys at elephant motorsports a call, and see what they have to say.

                Edit; Just checked, it says "Important note: These coilovers require a set of core spindles and can take 6-8 weeks to manufacture (these are built to order in Holland using your spindles). They do not utilize inserts for the strut housings - core spindles have the original strut tubes removed, then they are bored and new cylinders which are externally threaded for adjustable spring perches and swaybar mounts are welded in place. Then the monotube struts are built inside the cylinders for the maximum diameter and piston size."

                It also depends on which set-up you get. http://www.elephantmotorsports.com/a...ems-c-114.html

                        I dont think so. The coolant sensor plug has a 90 so it can run down the rad support. That plug shoots straight out.
                        To me it looks like a plug for your A/C fan. I will look later today.

                          A/C fan plug is on the driver side.
