    :( damn, too bad. everyone local that has sport seats wants $250 EACH (and by everyone I mean the only guy that has any for sale)

    I found a guy with mtech seats but he only wants to sell the entire interior as a whole, and it's from a vert. So... useless to me.

    any DIY on seat upholstery?
    Shit if you weren't so far away I'd give you a set of junk sport seats to try it out on.

    get stretch(ish) corduroy fabric (jo-anns, michaels, etc)
    use spray adhesive
    stretch and fit :)

    It's stock(ish) looking, but feels amazing and looks way better than that damned zebra shit.

    I've got to say that console definitely is different, how exactly did you go about doing that?

    Not perfect but it looks (and feels) damn good.

    redid the center console tonight.
    was going to leave it with the factory finish, but it was completely ruined by glue. I couldn't get it off with anything.


    going on

    Things I've gotten in and need to install:

    fuel filter
    spark plugs (bosch +)
    shifter
    random lights that needed replaced

    I also removed the orange lights and orange diffuser on the cluster.

    I've ordered (but still waiting to come in)
    KYB GR2 struts
    vogtland springs
    TPS
    RacingDynamics DME chip (got it for cheap or I wouldn't have wasted time on a chip)

    Out of spendable money at the moment, though.

    I live in an apartment which makes working on my car difficult since they won't even let me change my oil.

    wow, only could find ONE e30 in a salvage yard and it had been picked dry....

    I was expecting plenty of them being older and popular.
    well... looking for some parts if anyone happens to have them!

    trying to get a sport wheel from a local guy to replace that, but damn no one ever wants to email me back.

    I feel that I get one response per 30 emails that I send, and then why I try to make arrangements to buy something I just never get a response.

    Going to a upullupay tomorrow to check to see if they have any e30s.
    I need a gas pedal, fuse box cover, floor mats, driver's seat, center console, dash, gauge cluster, CPS (maybe), and, if I can find it, a lighted rear-view.

    Has some weird hesitations and feels pretty bogged down as well; going to seafoam it. Was going to before I changed the oil BUT I COMPLETELY FORGOT :(
