The first month I owned my car, I didn't have a system. I really enjoyed the sound of the M50, but it got kinda boring after a while, so I stole the system out of my E28 (but without a sub/amp) and that made it better, particularly with my Boston Acoustics 6x9's. I waited til i had some more time to pull the carpet up and run my wires etc for the amp, I think it was probably a few weeks or so. I wished I had done it sooner!

@2man now that you see how nice having a sub is, get the GAS groupon and start saving for a real box.

Mini meet at Jays. Too bad we didn't have all the parts to get your car going today. Thanks for the 5 Guys burger.

[e30austin]

Good times today! Best of luck getting it running, Jay! I'm sure it'll be running tomorrow.

[AbeSonic]

Good job guys!

I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - VICTORIOUS.

I stuck it out after Phil was nice enough to get me the rest of the parts that I needed. Got back in the swing at 5pm & at 11:23pm Haruko Fired Right Up :up:

I have an idle/choke issue, that I believe has to deal with that throttle cable Keith (which I'll call you about later today), but first try I fu*king one shot that car with the help of you guys (Phil / Keith / Austin) & he started up. I just wanted to hear him start once before calling it a night & I got just that.

Side Note: Phil, keep an Alternator around from time to time, I may need one sooner than later since Lonnie nearly fried mine & Keith, thanks so much for writing the Positive symbol on the windshield, it saved the car from literally torching the barn down. Remember folks, on BMW's black = POS + not NEG - which my roommate found out the hard way.

/end rant I'm off to bed now, before trying to see if Haruko moves tomorrow.

That's awesome Jay! Doing an i motor and 5 speed swap is no easy task, especially on your first e30.
Only other picture I took.

dibs!

I like the expression on Phil's face.

Do you mean the old style that had dish, vs the new style that pokes out a past the lip? I like both. But, I like the 3pc the best.

I'm going to get the monoblocks for the vert and the 3pc for the E21. But, I'd like to switch them back and forth on a whim.

Mmmmm, wheels!





Different, but match just as much as my E21 and E30 do. Hope it looks as good in person as it does in my head.

Now it's a race to make this happen before my daughter is born. Otherwise it'll quickly take a back seat for a couple years (decade).

Yeah the 16x9 old style. Love them. So hard to find. I like the 3 piece too but not for the price they go for.

Where does one find the cup holder for a husco arm rest? Just the cup holder part not the whole thing

I know Tunershop had both the 7.5x16 and the 9x16. The product photos show both dished and poked styles. Confusing. Especially since I'd want a staggered set.
