My long finished e30 project

So those h&r springs fit like crap in the front. When the car was jacked up you could move the spring up and down 4inchs and I really don't feel safe with that.... Way to much play. So I'm selling them. On a side not I put in some eibach springs, not as low as I want but removing unknown springs, installing h&r's and removing the h&r's and putting in the eibachs, to much work for me to care about ride height.

Most performance springs will flop around when the car is jacked up, too bad you downgraded to Eibachs.

Got these at pick n pull today though! Makes the trunk a lot better for lighting. Looks like they come off 84 and 85 models since there was another set there.

UPDATE:

My bulbs behind the HVAC panel have been burnt out for as long as i owned the car, should have replaced them when i put in the new dash... anyway these things cost $6 for only 2 bulbs at my local store! worst of all is i need another more for behind the headlight switch.
edit: did the headlight switch



Also picked up a used head unit off a forum member. I was pretty hesitant using a aftermarket head unit because the car made it for 25 years with no spliced wires anywhere, but after doing it I'm surprised how good premium speakers sound! so much better then the tape to AUX set up i was using since i first got the car on the road. Also i was able to keep the original fader switch installed and still working!




Also bought a used Jim C chip and put in the other day (thanks JCarp90). I was using some eBay chip... what a waist of money. All it really did was make the redline higher and give me a rough idle. Chips qualify for the category "what you pay for is what you get" so take it from me, just pay the extra money and get tested, warrantied quality.

My long finished e30 project

Got my Analog clock installed/ euro clock. I made a custom adapter for 6 button OBC harnesses so I wouldn't have to splice into the adapter, here's a link if anyone's interested: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=311765
Also put in a delete strip where the AC button would go.

Now go back and rescue that Nova in the previous owners yard too!

That is a Vega son.

Well while at my local junk yard, i came across these and couldn't pass them up! The car was on the lot for over 10 days, i was surprised no one took them bit dusty but no rips. Ive been looking for black with grey center door cards, these are close enough. Onto the houndstooth! I also bought the headrests for the hell of it.

Pic is when i just got them removed off the car in the yard

Wow not bad, very well done! I like the oem look. Is this an 325 without "i" and "is", I mean the basic version?

I think your right with it not having any lettering behing the "325" meaning its the basic version, though all 325's with out lettering behind it means its a eta verstion, aka an "e" (except mine ;))

Another junk yard score! Found some Bilstein's on a e30 there (and there not blown!) along with a what im assuming, rare HVAC panel with numbers on it.

Did a transmission fluid change today. Might have been the first service this tranny's ever had for all I know.

[KIRIEIW]

Did a oil Change last month, I'm 300 miles till the tranny and engine hit 100k! Along with the odometer of course!
I'm starting to get board of my current wheels so I'm trying to figure out what to get next.
Some more pics. Looks like I haven't updated in a while so the
new parts are:,
-Smileys (traded my extra transmission and the guy gave me $100 bucks)
-Awesome hounds tooth which I'm really happy I bought that day
-Got a better shape Black iS spoiler (off a schwartz car; no more plasti-dip)
-Replaced CPS
-55L fuel gauge (euro)
-Tints; 50% Front 20% Rear
-Tucked bumpers by using rear diving board vert shocks and plastic bumper front shocks; no half ass drilling to tuck bumpers :up:
-Got new M-Stripes for the steering wheel from the dealer

Plans still:
-Get a new driveshaft (U-Joints are slowly failing)
-Go Ground Control; and lower by an inch all around
-BBS RZ's if I can find a set for a good price
















And the only pic of my Dad's and my car together (other then the driveway) He sold it, currently looking for a hard top coupe. Crazy how much prices have gone up one these cars since I acquired mine.

Well this happened yesterday...



And a interior shot...

Did you ever find out anything about that HVAC panel? Seems odd with the "61" sitting a different way than the rest of the numbers.
