              The Podi PVG-e30 vent gauge works (voltage, coolant temp and oil pressure) and I will be testing out the OBD2 scan gauge module soon



              Strut bar or no strut bar?

                Strut bar. I like it in that black - functional and a bit less showy.
                Any update on your cluster?

                  Update on cluster? You mean the oil temperature gauge?

                  I have no pictures with the new gauge installed but it should work fine.

                    Bought a set of staggered 17" Azev C in Belgium,the front wheels had the same size, offset and bolt pattern of the square set I have in hand. Sweet!

                    Tried to mount them today and couldn't figure out why they would not seat on the hub.

                    Fire up google and look up the centerbore of a Opel Astra = 56.6

                    What does an e30 use? 57.1 so I'm off by 0.5mm!! :(

                    Learned a lesson today and should have test fit these onto an e30 when they arrived.

                        The Rogue Engineering exhaust is offset, tips kissing the rear valence and the center muffler is hitting the head shield.

                        Took the car to CTS Turbo, put the wagon on a hoist and noticed that the PO used no flex joints in its design. WTF?!??

                        Will be going back to CTS next week to have a couple added.

                              Took the wheels to Panther to enlarge the CB to 57.1, turns out 2 wheels had slight bends which they fixed as well.

                              The 17x10 now bolts on perfectly!

                                Very nice!

                                Glad the wheels didn't hit like my b1s!
