Correct, I just bought stock autozone strut inserts with a life time warrenty. I have a feeling it won't ride great at all but I didn't pay much and I'm not taking the car to the track at all so eh. It will have to do for now.

I don't recommend that anyone should buy the autozone inserts.

I looked up a 91 corrado on the autozone web site

i love hondas man but there is something about the e30 that has me buying one every other car i get. my last car was a crx with a b16a turbo, it was fast as i would ever need my car to be and it didn't even make over 350hp. of coarse i plan to turbo the e30 one day but i have much to learn when it comes to rwd. i have spun out to many times to claim i am anything close to a good driver. still i try though.

any tonight my friend totaled his car so i ended up driving around all night following the tow truck. all i got done was hitting the e36 mount arms with purple power and the hose. i love purple power

i haven't been able to do much lately but here is the progress.

mounted e36 arms to m50
mounted flywheel, clutch, and tranny
tightened up the linkage with random crap lying around
replaced my oil pressure sensor because it broke in the process of pulling the motor
pulled brake booster and started polishing it because i was bored

list of things to do
complete booster relocation
figure out my e36 harness so i can match up the wires it to the car
tranny brace welding
order engine mounts


has anyone over had any trouble with diamond racing? i ordered a set of wheels almost a month ago and last a heard a week ago. they should be shipped as of last wednesday. im having a hard time getting a hold of them by calling over and over. i sent a email. hopefully i will have a answer soon

finished my 90 325i c101 pinouts
here is what i came up with

pin number-function
1- alternator
2- oil level (static)
3- NOT USED
4- coolant temp
5- oil pressure
6- o2 sensor
7- ignition +
8- fuel rate
9- RPM
10- oil level (dynamic)
11- NOT USED
12- check engine
13- fuel pump relay
14- speedometer
15- starter +
16- diagnostics
17- NOT USED
18- + while starting
19- NOT USED
20- abs

i would also like to say i confirmed most of this via the actual manual but the oil level sensor wires (2,10) were compared to several other diagrams i have came across before i wrote them down for sure. same goes for the coolant temp and oil pressure.

i am going to the junkyard to figure out the year and model of the e36 i got my engine harness out of and get cracking on the x20 connector tomorrow.

finally after hours of research and questioning myself over and over....
