marco u can convert yours. 88+ rear deck and 88+ light, then you will need to cut and splice in the new connector.

Actually it would be 89+. The 88's used the early style.

[golde30]

^yup, I remember doing my conversion on 88 back in the days.

Did a small road trip.
2000 miles and two issues happened. one, the clutch return spring popped and took out the clutch hydraulic line elbow. luckily it didnt break this time and it took 3 hours to get it back in. and second the speedometer has a loose wire and when jostled it goes to 0mph and kills the cruise control.
both ill get to soon.
but finally Austin!'s friend sold me a passenger seat back to complete my interior.

but without delay here are pics from the trip.
Some place in upper NorCal.


then some needle


then EMP


then a great rear end shot of me doing werk to get her back running



But all done and said.

No stance for me. just a basic clean e30.

ahh thought I saw your car in the picnic photos.. glad you got it fixed without getting stranded. hard to go 2k miles without cruise tho huh.

[Cabriolet]

got lucky and wiggling the wires got me cruise control for 99% of the trip.

[MR 325]

You're a brave man for driving that car up there with that fresh paint!

[Cabriolet]

I wasnt too worried until on the way home an asshole in a 4wd lifted truck decided that i-5 needed to be 3 lanes and was driving 90mph on the shoulder and kicked up all kinds of rocks and debris. minor hood chip and the 3M coating saved the valence.

[bradnic]

That 3M coating is worth gold man. Never understood why people try to remove it.

hes talking about the invisibra

[bradnic]

I assume he sprayed body schutz on the valance. no? you would know...

[oliver.r]

no, the valance is totally smooth

[Cabriolet]

i hate the look of the bubbly body schutz. I had a local tint place install the 3M invisibra as Oliver stated it. it took those rock chips well. the guy i was rolling with lost his windshield at the same time, from the truck.


PS made it all the way from CA to WA on 11 gallons. screw you Oregon, i'm pumping my own gas.

[Chillin_30]

Yep that was my brother who's windshield got taken out. Going to have to make a caltrans claim now, that guy was an epic douche.

[Thizzelle]

why not just let the guy pump the gas? I just got out and watched him to make sure he didn't fuck anything up. Can you put the nozzle in yourself, then tell them to squeeze the trigger? Oregon people chime in.

[oliver.r]

can you imagine them trying to fill up a 02?
