What did you do to your E30 today?

[Poeman446]

It wasn't today, but within the last week. I pulled a transmission from a 1988 eta to go into my recently purchased 1987 325is automatic. I'm ready to get it in the garage and swap this thing out. (if anyone has a shift boot with the frame, and a shift knob for sale, let me know. Other than that, i believe i have everything.)

quick wash then even quicker drive at 100+mph's :)

Installed a kill switch, re-routed some wires, cleaned some of the interior, grinded off the rivets to my horn contact, and replaced my tensioner pulley bolt. It really needed it.

I got the horn working on my nrg quick release set up.

I finally found the last electrical gremlin in my car. When I bought the car from the PO, the fuse 10 would blow if I used the power windows too long. Power window circuit is fuse 17. And the windows would work with fuse 17 removed. So I figured the PO tapped into fuse 10 circuit to power the windows. I was in this frame of mind because when I bought the car the fuel pump relay was bad and instead of replacing it he just put a jumper wire in the fuse box. This is just one example. Any way I searched for where they tapped in and couldn't find it. Followed the wiring diagram and everything looked fine. I noticed a red/black wire with connector disconnected near the C302. While I was trying to figure out where it went I noticed the white/black wire and the green/blue wire didn't line up. I check continuity from the fuse box, fuse 17 circuit on the plug it was connected to and I had really high resistance. I checked the plug that the white/black wire was inline with and perfect continuity. I plugged it into it's correct spot and that fixed it. PO must have unplugged it at one point and plugged it into the first spot that fit. Now my windows are on the correct circuit with a 30a fuse and the 7.5a fuse on fuse 10 circuit isn't blowing every time I use my windows. Now I need to find out what the red/black wire connector is supposed to connect to.

My brain hurts... I hope never to encounter a hack job on my e30.

Gave her a good wash :D

[AwakenNoMore]

Cleaned my junkyard style 5's. The chrome has to go.

[ikonwun]

Nice wheels man you going with fill and drill? Or adapters? Or five lug swap?



I reinstalled my gas tank after having it recleaned. Will finish up the drive shaft tomorrow after work.

[AwakenNoMore]

Looks like I'm doing adapters until I can collect the gear for a 5 lug swap. As of right now they will just be sitting around until I get the 5 speed swap and tired suspension sorted out. Priorities. Possible re-rattle canning of the car starting tomorrow. Might finally start a build thread.
To stay on topic, I bought these sedan seat in the junkyard last week for $31 including head rests (no mounts yet) cleaned them up and installed them the other day.

[bmoores]

Those seats look incredible for 31 bucks!! Damn.
