I have this http://www.peakeresearch.com/fcx3.htm
I'm in the Wallingford/Greenlake neighborhood, you're welcome to stop by and use it.

Do you have the 20-pin diagnostic plug for it? I'll bring a sixer of your favorite...

[delamaize]

I saw that on CL. Someone got a deal.

Yeah, $120, I passed on the clusters, no need for them. He's looking to get rid of them still if someone has a use for a Km/h speedo and a giant clock-o-doom.

Gotta decide how I want to wire up the lights now, leaning towards retrofitting the US sockets into the european fixtures, like here:

anyone know a better way? I'd like to keep the clearance lights to go with my city lights.....

Yes, Cheuk will be at my place today around 4:30 using it. You're welcome also, or another time if that works better for you.

[OldDrunkenSailor]

I kind of want an E36 M3 for a DD....what is wrong with me.....

E36's are probably bottoming out on value right about now; not a bad time to buy if you can get a good one and keep it up.

On a separate note, my E30s battery died. $160 to replace on a car that I only get to see a handful of times per year :-/

Nah man, 5 years ago you could get one for $4-6k. They've started to climb since then.

[brutus87]

yea I have been looking around, and those bottom dollar days seem to be gone.

A ton of E46 M3 with SMGs are being unloaded, I would be scared to own an SMG car.

[KLiz90]

Look what came to me today.. Too bad I didn't get to take them out of the box. I am so ready for my car to not be a turd anymore!

Never go to Cancun with people that don't party. I have spent my nights watching Mad Men and Game of Thrones while drinking burbon instead of going out to talk with anyone of the fairer sex. The right people to travel with is absolutely key.

Also, I miss you so much, my dear Pacific NW. I hope that I can make it to the picnic this year.

Super easy. Take the US turn signal connector and break it, take your two spade connectors out of it (one for ground and one for turn signals) and install. Voila.

i got euro trim. i'm just removing those side blinker lights completely....

Sounds like you need a little alpha team in your life. You better be up for the picnic, it won't be the same without the death machine.

thats one of the things I was thinking of doing, although I'd like to have the parking lights to go with the city lights in the smileys. I don't want to cut up the euro stuff, but I dont wanna hack up the stock stuff either. It's the fuel pump connector that is the same as the euro turns right?

Also, Happy 1900 pages!

[Habla]

The best way is to graft the us socket onto the euro housing. I plastic welded it...

[Pdxseth]

I broke something again. I think it's csb again, could be half shaft or U joint. The car car vibrates upon take off now.

Anybody make a performance csb? I've broke 3 in the last year in a half.

I may rape my car but that shit should last more than 6 months on a stock eta.
