Mine was the sensor on the diff. wires were fubar so I pulled a portion off a parts car I have to replace it. I would start there as it is an easy check. Make sure the wiring is good and the contacts are clean.
Good question ... I don't have the answer just yet. I am toying with the idea of some cams. Still doing some research. As of right now I wil be running a 3.5 maf and boot, swapping to the later style tubular exhaust mani's (maybe headers), full custom exhaust, and maybe injectors. Ecu is chipped already.
My thought is that if it isn't enough (lmao) then I will add some forced induction or ... hell i don't know. Just cannot seem to make up my mind. It is all up in the air.
Biggest thing I am trying to sort out is the diff. Thinkin 3.25 LSD. Input here would be nice. I mostly drive around town. Road trips are mostly 1.5 hours to 2 hours. Longer trips are limited to once every 2 or 3 months if that. I could really care less about fuel mileage but I just don't wanna roll down the interstate taching out real high. My former car would be pushing 4500 at 80 and 5300 at 100.

Try the cluster or it might be the sensor. If you have a meter check the sensor but it most likey is the cluster.Leave a comment:

Suscribed. Looks like your making progress. What was the issue with your inoperative speedo? My car has the same problem and I don't know where to start.Leave a comment:

Started on Stage 0. Basically started going thru the car as it sits and repairing the misc issues. Lots o electrical issues centered around a shoddy alarm installation.
Door panels are out for recovering. Pulled headliner and wife is sewing up a new one. Planning out stereo and after reading Stereoinstaller1's thread about his boxes I am thinking I might have to jump on one. Getting ready to order carpet.
When I got the car the drivers parking lights didn't work, speedo inop, interior lights inop, dash lights were inop, power mirrors inop, passenger door lock inop, passenger window inop, more leaks than the Exxon Valdez, brakes shot, tires shot, and paint just plain defunct.Leave a comment:

E30 s50
Just picked up this gem. Minimal body damage and no rot. Motor is in need of love (192K if cluster is orig). Suspension was fubar when I bought it but I had a good set up from my other e30 as a temporary fix.
I just landed a S50 swap of next to nothing. Plan is as follows: Swap in S50, replace every bushing and reinforce where needed, full respray, full interior retrim, new coils, and more i am quite sure! Starting on replacing timing chains, belts, hoses, etc on the s50 as soon as the parts get here!
