    Depends on how your car was optioned. If I remember correctly, cars that had heated washer nozzles had heated door locks.

          you can definitely fit the E30 exhaust inside the cabin of an E30. Its a great story I will share with the A-team next time we get together

                At least lachs has some depth to it. Sterling is so goddamn boringggg.

                  I wasn't too impressed when I saw it today. It seemed like a cheap paint to me. I'm saying adiós to my alpine if anyone is interested in it.

                    Sterling only looks good fresh. And most steeling cars are not fresh.

                      e30 m42 no start has me stumped. I have:

                      - checked fuel pressure, shows 43psi on gauge while cranking. injectors are brand new.
                      - all 4 spark plugs and wires spark good and have hot spark (grounded on throttle body and cranked car to confirm)
                      - 180psi compression test cylinders 1-4
                      - charged up battery
                      - reset dme (may not have been long enough though)
                      - double checked ignition coils and their corresponding connectors using DME pinouts and multimeter testing for continuity. went over it three separate times, Im positive I have it hooked up proper.

                      Im lost. it ran fine this morning when I moved it to the garage. Then I did a little work on it and now this no-start. everything above I confirmed within the last 2 hours.

                      I thought maybe it was flooded (reasonable assumption right?) so when i pulled plugs to check spark I pulled fuel pump fuse and watched all the gas get blown right out. didnt help.

                      I doubt it has jumped timing because it still has great and even compression on all cylinders...

                      any ideas? It passes every test flying colors and when you crank it, it does not even try to fire it sounds like. this is aggravating.

                        That sucks dude! I'm sorry it isn't running now and it was. Sometimes I think my m42 is cursed but mine isn't that problematic

                            maybe the plugs are just too wet with fuel (they all were when I removed them), but like I said they spark fine when grounded to throttle body. Im pretty sure the ignition coils were mixed up this morning when it was running (it ran kinda poor and exhibited an ignition system misfire). thats why I used the DME pinout and confirmed the correct order, which I triple checked with my mulitmeter. Austin! and I have been talking about it and he is stumped too.

                            Hank Imma check the fuses again right meow.

                                its a combo of weak spark and cylinder walls washed me thinks.
