[ohthejosh]

I didnt know they made a harlequin e30. Haha

This is actually the limited edition "fck yeah murr'ca" e30.

[ohthejosh]

That's some cool shit mayne.
Do a rear latemod valance swap, color match errythang...
and g240 it.

Thats the plan! LOL.. slowly but surely. That rear valance will need to wait till everything else gets sorted. :)

I ordered belts, pump and tensioner from blunt just now. I need to get this car registered and smogged asap. Im thinking after smog im gonna do some more maintenance.

[DaButt]

For what it's worth- after looking at the jankety-ass nature of the interior- i vote replace the pump either way.

[ohthejosh]

So after receiving my new coolant hoses from Blunttech I decided to tackle the mysterious coolant leak that caused my overheating a few months back.

After replacing the hoses the leak now comes from the water pump, specifically between the water pump and pulley.

Anyone know if I just need to tighten it or do i need to replace the water pump?

Yea when I do the entire interior refresh Im sure I'll be finding some weird ass shit.

So far I found misc. wiring and a green rag stuff up in the HVAC console area. No clue what its there just a corner of it is sticking out.

The PO on my 91' did the exact same thing but with the heated seat wiring and he was so confused why the fuse kept on blowing...

[ohthejosh]

I guess I should update since I did some today, my cars been sitting in the driveway for the past few months waiting to get engine work done but I still havent really gotten all the info I need yet.

Decided to do a partial teardown of the interior because PO put a crappy ass carpert and it bugs the shiit out of me.

OEM color was, wish it still was too;


Here are some pics of how it looks as of this morning;



Havent done the proper rear pb conversion yet but i put it on anyways;



Interior shot, PO did install M3 seats front and rear which I like a lot!!




My driver seat is a different material than the passenger and rear. Anyone know what its called?
Driver Seat;


Passenger Oem;


Here are the seats out of the car side by side;


Here are some of a dirty m20b27



And finally removed the crappy carpet to reveal an even crappier tore up oem carpet lol;



And found some sketch wiring lol;


Thats all for today cars gonna stay like that for a lil while. Thanks for looking.

Did the front conversion before July 4th, so it was a themed car for about a day lol


Thanks! unfortunately im not a big fan of the color. I want an OEM paint on the car and if its not obvious already its gonna go alpine white :) I know theres plenty out there already but i will try to make mine different promise ;)

Ya thats what I like about the car is that the color isn't like everyone else's but ya can't go wrong with white ;)

It's like a patriotic e30!
