Please properly fix the fuel leak first before you do anything including sleep.

Yes, I will be fixing this on Monday for sure, it scares me just to know that its flammable liquid that's leaking

that tint looks so cool and makes the light look brand new! yeah would also be interested. as I live around the corner from Rona/home depot in Toronto.
Wonder if they also carry a smoked tint?

I don't think so they carry smoked tint, but I hope I'm wrong, let me know if you come across it. Here's the can I used, remember to follow with a clear coat, else it'll fade quickly. I've had pretty good results and duration with this spray...about 3-4 years.

thanks, i got a long way to go..lol,



it was some window tint from rona or home depot i believe, on my previous car it lasted like 3-4 years with a clear on top, I'll get you the exact name tomorrow

Well I haven't updated this thread in while due to school, but I did managed to get some more work done on the rear.



Tinted my spare tails.


I also started the car up after a month and it seems like I'm leaking fuel. I've temporary duck taped it and was just wondering is it just replacing that rubber hose? Its leaking where the rubber hose connects to the hard line.

Again don't worry about the tape its temp., will solve problem soon.

I dunnno, but some big fat spacers would make those look WAY better!

does anyone know what kind of rims are on my car, there some sort of Primax wheels, and how much they might be worth?

Just remember, black stripe is POSITIVE on BMW.

Do you have the electrical manuals?

Thanks alot man, really appreciate the help.

This wasn't what I had in mind (shouldn't have used that term maybe).

Blunt has a kick-ass rear X brace in his 02 project - and that's the picture of what I had in mind. Something in the trunk - that braces up the rear shock towers.

After some quick google searching, I found this pic:


Turner carries one - but in your situation, I'd be more interested in something that has cross-members incorporated.


Skeptical of those 'under-braces' - simply connecting the ends of the subframe doesn't seem like it'd do much imo.

Ya this is what I thought you were saying, I think I'll probably go this route, thanks for the suggestion.

You know I realized something just now, in the time I've owned two honda's over a period of 5 years, people never wanted to help out...they just wanted to make fun of you or race you. I've owned this e30 for 1.5 weeks and I've received so much help, some random guy even pulled over to give me some advice rebuilding the car (he's also working on an e30). Once again I really appreciate all the help for you guys, I know it's going to make my life a bit easier dealing with this car. I already feeling the e30 love, lol.

If it makes you feel any better, there never was a wiring harness sold for this car..not till '92 or so was there a harness for BMW.

ah I see....this kinda makes me feel a little better, lol, I guess I'll put in a newer harness to make things easier, thanks for the info
