update:






last week I did a few things:

wired in e36 window switches
installed an e34 leather ebrake handle
installed new suede shift boots
installed a cup holder
replaced the OBC light bar with upgraded LED
swapped out my 3.73 LSD with a 2.93 LSD
fluid change in the 2.93 with Lucas 75w90

I also dropped the car off to have AC retrofitted

tackling the diff swap alone was a nuisance but worth it.
now at 75 mph im turning around 3k rpm instead of 4100rpm



picked up the car from Castro Motorsport... LOVING IT.



showed up fashionably late to a late night gtg but just in time to crush a milkshake and win a few things in the worlds longest raffle. LOL...









DROOOOOOLLLLLL



really loving the new 2.93 LSD







so now I almost have the car completely how I want it.

I need to find an obd1 throttle cable plate so I can hook the cruise control back up since I do 90% freeway driving

im also going to grab an m3 engine bay harness cover to clean it up a bit

rather than paying $90 for a fancy voltmeter on r3v I ordered this tiny digital voltmeter for $1.78 (shipped from china?!?!?!)



im going to try and retrofit into the check panel like this



I also ordered a new ambient air temp sensor so my obc doesn't read -22



other than that im going to get the m-tech 2 steering wheel recovered in suede and prob grab a bmw cca grill badge

for reference:

[phreshkid]

You're doing great work. All very tasteful upgrades/replacement parts.


Keep it up.
Almost makes me miss mine. Almost.

[XwalkerX]

thanks man

also I stop being a dummy and just ordered the harness cover and grill badge.

[CRBR30]

Coming along nicely!

[flyboyx]

alcantara looks nice but it gets ratty pretty fast when used in areas with lots of wear like steering wheels.

[XwalkerX]

not my first rodeo ;)

had a suede wheel in my porsche for 4 years.

i know what i getting into...

[GnarShark]
