Melon's E30 Build.

little by little but its coming along. i wonder how quiet your car will be with all the mat you put in.

Wow that cluster really changes the look of the interior. Looks so good. Start feeling better. I've been dealing with a cold as well. It sucks.

Got the interior lights sorted out, and quite a bit of interior pieces back in.

I've been battling a nasty cold, and terrible weather.

Got the speakers installed in the kick panel, and the wiring ran.

The OBC works, but the backlight doesn't, it was replaced with a Garagastic unit, idk. Might just live with it not working for now.

Tps could also cause some weird idle. Even after I thought I set my right it was factions off and that made a difference.

Good to know. Thanks! That's something I hadn't considered.

I went back and looked at videos from before the resto, and it did the same thing. So, I'll drive the car some, and do the find adjustments down the road

I have a feeling this will be the route I go as well.

I'm not 100% certain mine is bad, but trying to rule it out.

I have purchased a ICV from eBay and I ended up buying a used OEM one that worked much better.

What is the difference between the early and late switches.

The plug connection.

FCP Euro sells the early style headlight switch, and it's less expensive than the late!

Also, still have high idle, between 1200 and 1000rpm. Rolling the dice on an eBay IACV.

Two bad light switches, and several frustrating hours later, I ordered a late model pigtail, and a new switch.

Grumble grumble.

Nice thanks guys. Was planning on a cluster, AFM, and cables so glad to hear you're all happy with them. I have a few spare clusters that I can use in the meantime.

Cables, and the AFM shipped pretty quickly, I believe he has a few of those ready to ship.

dang looks very nice. i like that you didn't do late model cooling.

It was a real consideration.

I have a C5 Corvette, and that thing doesn't cool properly, when I'm hammering on it in mountain roads, the temps easily climb to 230, and 275+ oil temps. Now, the LS1 can handle those, but it made me paranoid about cooling when I was building this car. In the end I decided to keep the OEM oil cooler, and go with a new radiator.

If I have cooling issues I'll go late style with am aftermarket radiator.
