    Expect some BIG changes very soon. The big pieces are starting to come in.
    With all luck, I'm hoping to have one of the cleanest late model E30's in Northern California come summer. :D

      So this weekend I need to tackle a little job.

      Driving from Downtown LA to San Diego last Sunday, my car developed a little electrical problem. There's a short somewhere on the circuit for fuse #23. This controls the Right Taillight, Right Front corner, Instrument & Dash Illumination, License plate lights and Right Side markers (which I don't have since I have Euro-trim).

      Tried replacing the fuse and I popped all of the 3 spares that I had. Tried putting a higher amp one in there and it blew instantly. Any thoughts on where I could find my short? Danny suggested within the R Tail cut out itself, but all of the wires/bulbs looked to be straight. My trunk was full of groceries and luggage/shit so it could have shifted around possibly and clipped/broken something, somewhere...

      I did replace my right low beam sealed-beam Sunday morning while I was back at home, although it's on a different circuit, and I don't think it had anything to do with it.

      In other news, drove the car back down to San Diego from San Francisco this past Sunday. The drive itself to Los Angeles was very smooth, and I made it in about 4 hours 30 mins. Car pulled really hard when I needed it too, A/C blew cold, and despite the 4.10 open diffs ratio, it was pretty comfortable cruising down the 5.

      Cheers,
      Sina

          I hate the M42 with AC on, literally no power. It was impossible to navigate through traffic in philadelphia with zero power.

            yeah, you totally feel the power surge back when you hit the button off.
            it's pretty lame, but then again - happy i don't have a slick-top! :up:

                update ~ 7/15

                Here's a long deserved update to my build thread.
                I HAD planned many things for this car, that should have already happened by now.

                But due to certain circumstances, they've been on hold.
                Here's my tentative to-do list for the summer:
                • Fix electrical problem causing fuse #23 to blow (which controls dash & insturment lights, license plate lights, right parking light, right corner light)
                • Fix electrical problem causing right low beam to not work
                • Fix electrical problem causing right fog light to not work
                • Install my M3 CABS with Dmitriy sometime soon (kronus)
                • Sand-down & respray my iS lip which is pretty scuffed up
                • FINALLY get some 16" or 17" 5-lugs with tires
                • Acquire a 4th 14" Basketweave with Tire to sell on the set (sister crashed car)
                • Fix belts
                • Fix LOUD screeching steering-rack
                • Install Frenched Euro Smileys
                • Creatively paint the front center strip under the grills, which is faded
                • Fix wiring problem causing winsheild washers to not work
                • Install new front speakers



                Got a LOT of stuff to do, and not much time with all of the other stuff I'm doing this summer...

                But the goal is to get it all taken care of.

                Some pics from this weekend (most recent)

                    found a great deal on 205/45-16's so i'm going to pull the trigger on those tomorrow afternoon and order em'.

                    cheers,
