            I think all that wiring is for a cell phone. You should remove it.

              a friend is picking up an ix 14.5mm rear sway bar for me in the morning from eric devier...I'm expecting to receive the sport steering wheel, its adaptor, and the sway bar shortly...I'll have some work to do on the car when the weather gets better

                Excellent! The 14.5mm bar pairs nicely with the 21mm front. What shape are your end links in? Might be worth swapping in new ones at all 4 corners, and new bushings. If the rubber in the bushings gets worn out much at all the bar looses a lot of it's ability.

                      haha thank you thank you....i'll leave the price a secret...it was a fair price i'd say, not your "i got a $300 e30" but you know.

                      UPDATE: The steering wheel I bought from CabrioPunk came in today...I would upload a picture to my "picture-happy" thread but it wouldn't do me any good. if you want to see it, google "oem e30 sport steering wheel in PERFECT CONDITION!!!" I can't say thanks enough, i got a good deal and its mint. I'm waiting on the spacer from bavauto now. Also, I am yet to get ahold of the 14.5mm sway bar from EricDevier but my dad will be picking that up on thursday. He is another good guy as my initial plans of picking up his good bailed on me. all the best

                        Alright I haven't made much progress since coming back to school but I have a list of things I am going to do over spring break which is in 3-4 weeks. I am going to reset the oil service light that i've been meaning to do, redo the shadowline trim, hopefully get new stickers for the centercaps and then i'll reinstall those, install the rear sway bar that eric sold me, and finally Wash it and Wax it!!!

                        That said, I have something up my sleeve that will be awesome for somebody...more info coming closer to spring break

                            haha...trust me...i've seen your build thread, along with every other car you happen to perfect. After lurking r3v for a few years I have come to realize that you are THE MAN. you always have the coolest cars, and more often then not, the pictures include beautiful models...hahah im honored that you even commented in this thread. :up:

                                its been awhile since posting in my build thread but I am making moves slowly but surely. I nearly sold it the other day in hopes of a 944s but that fell through.

                                Since that time I have contacted ejnight and I am picking up a race skid/cross brace combo next weekend and installing it with my friend over the weekend. Should be an awesome mod. Then i'm going to be ordering KYB shocks for all four corners and lowering it on Vogtlands. I am thinking of getting the springs new but if anybody knows of a pair thats available by all means, holler at me. I'll be at the picnic but I am not sure that it will be lowered by that time. I will be putting the cross brace and skid plate on next weekend though. I'M EXCITED TO GO LOWER!!!

                                So this weekend I drove from Salem to Klamath Falls to visit my girlfriend and it was by far its longest trip the e30 has had while in my possession and it did awesome! I can't wait for a little bit more rigid ride quality from the cross brace...and who doesn't like being low???

                                few pics for shits and gigs...
