Yea they are metallic, your car, but it's not very eye catching of a color ;)

IMO if your doing paint drop some cash, it's something you want to do right the first time unless your favorite hobby is sanding.

I don't really want something eye catching I would like to keep it simple but unique.

Id like to do it right the first time...but that doesn't happen. Only way to learn is by doing. I can never decide on a color anyway, if I mess it up I'll rock it for a year or two and try it again.

Can anyone tell me which temp thermostat to purchase? I believe 80c is oem right? I'm having trouble figuring out which I need to purchase. Do I want one with the O-ring attach? Anything else I should look out for? My ttemp gauge isn't moving and the heater is blowing warm at best. I suspect a stuck open thermostat. A link to one to purchase would be much appreciated. Thank you

Oh and I own an 88 325i vert.

Fuck you BMW

How many different styles of h1/h4 lights did Bmw make for the e30??!??!!

I have 3 incomplete sets

2 hella, and 1 Bosch they are all different! I can't make a complete matching set!



Each set has 1 broken lense does anyone have any more broken sets? I could have bought a set of smileys with the money I've wasted trying to put these together.

1 last try can anyone complete one of these!

FYI I am buying smileys for the e30. I wanted to keep everything early euro but F that smileys have better light output so they win.

Now I'm trying to complete one of these sets to put in the e28.

Seth, so my car started up! But now i'm having underloader relay issues and I spilled ATF all over the driveway cuz I didnt torque down one of the PS banjo bolts. Lol

[Pdxseth]

That's a bitch, what's going to break next? Need relays? I have tons of them.

It looks like a pretty good idea, 4 pistons vs 1 piston. They have a kit online with brackets.

[tonytony]

Its a 7.5mm upgrade on each side, 15mm total over stock. After all said and done(machining, rotors, calipers) its not worth it IMO. Also rx7 calipers are huge so if you want deepdish wheels, you will probable have fitment issues.
