i see center caps in your future

[r0meyrome]

I got them but I dont have the key to unlock so ill leave them off for now.

You've cleaned it up pretty nice although I don't know why you swapped to the kph cluster when you live in the US. I would suggest getting rid of that dash carpet. No amount of cracks is worth that thing.

[N2MYE30]

Ill sport cracks any day before putting on that dust collector. Im not feeling the steering wheel or knob but its your ride and you have done a lot to it in short time. Nice car though!

BTW...more pix of the e21!

you donr need a key to take them off....... you just turn them.

[r0meyrome]

yeah...thats what i meant but I dont have that tool.

[Erick]

Be a manly man, use your hands :p

[nadodude111]

yeah...thats what i meant but I dont have that tool.

im not understanding you...... you dont need the tool, at all. you just twist the part that surrounds the emblem and then pull the cap off, youll know when you can pull the cap.

Somethings not right. It reads up to 7 on the rev's gauge. I thought regular plain 325's read up to 5 like all etas/

LOLOL... I have the same type of carpet looking dash cover to that covers up all my cracks... I guess its time to retire it!
