      Not sure were you are getting your information, but the front valence I have is an early model BBS valence.here is the catalog photo...


      And yes, these flares are early model iX specific... Here is the early model my friend spotted



      You can see the lines on Guten's flares, they are early model flares...

      No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

        THANKS for correcting.. deleted the bad info. Confuse BBS and Zender.. only seen the BBS in person.

        I'm also curious about the rear flares. They look low even on your car and the other euro IX pics.. would be great to see a comparison with an 88.

            Pretty sure it's just that the early iX's have massive front ride height!

                That's actually the BBS widebody kit

                  The heater didn't work and it turns out the control valve is seized so I ordered a new one. Also ordered a door brake so the drivers door will not slam into my shins any more.

                  In the mean time I am trying to find the issues with my ABS system fault. I put the car on jack stands to inspect the four ABS sensors. I can't find any hints on what to look for. Any ideas how to tell which sensor is causing the fault??

                  This link didn't help


                  And one photo up on jack stands

                      Thanks to Zach I was alerted of a set of taurus sport seats at the upull on the single e30 in denver.

                      Ironically I was already in denver and din't have much going on. I jumped over and grabbed the pair as one would be a great donor for my split driver side.

                            One of my past E30's had a taurus sport interior, wish it had been as clean as yours!

                              Good news!!

                              Firmware was updated and the base tune was good and she fired right up. Fueling was very rich, idling about 10 to 11 afr. My wideband wasn't reading on tunerstudio. I got it corrected and tunerstudio was reading it correctly.

                              She runs ok but my TPS isn't working right. When I put the throttle down sensor at a constant input (say 35%), the sensor keeps rising up and up and up. It goes to 200% then 300% and so on until I left my foot off the gas. Does anybody know how the TPS is supposed to work vs the VTPS from the e36? I may just try to swap in a VTPS form an e36.

                              Anyway, I am almost ready to start the turbo install!

                                Glad you got it sorted!

                                For start up cold that isn't too bad, warmed up it would be too rich. Does it seem rich at all loads? you can adjust the required fuel if so

                                If the jumpers on the board are set for vTPS and you are running the stock TPS it will creep, you can re-jumper for the stock one or install a variable one if you have one

                                FYI, if it is set for a variable one and you are running a stock TPS, on full throttle(~70ish+ %) it short the vRef and reset the ECU and the car will cutoff and come back when you let off the throttle
