      Just thought id share a link with some great info, as I was looking for an exact description of the recaros I just purchased:

      RECARO RESOURCE GUIDE https://static1.pt-content.com/images/noimg.gif ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First off here is some basic Recaro knowledge, hopefully you guys will appreciate it. It mostly covers seats made from the late 70s and up, i dont have a ton of info on the earlier seats. I will update this


      I guess I have a set of LX-B seats.

        Shame it's an auto, but looks to be a decent gamble. Car looks clean!

            5spd swap and a tune up would do it justice

                  The owner is actually the son of my neighbor. But if you're really interested I could look at it

                    My buddies 87 325i just had a small engine fire, so he needs a new engine harness. I know the 87 has the injector harness hardwired in but what else is different?
                    Can he use an 88+ since they are easier to find?

                    Either way he needs a new harness if anyone has one.

                      Perfect time to convert to Motronic 1.3 and a 173 DME. You just need to do the wiring for the tachometer since '87s had the wiring in the glovebox.

                        Hmmm....
                        This is Keith's old car. It had a 173 already in it.....but it definitely has an 87 harness.

                          Damn, It's an I car, I was going to say I got a 87 eta, I can go take a shit ton of pictures.....but......different harness.

                          I'm in and out of junk yards all the time, I will keep an eye out for a harness.

                            I thought the poltergeist or whatever haunted that car was released when I sold it.
                            Anyway, I laid out both an 88 and 87 harness side by side about 10 years ago. From what I recall, the FI rail and oxygen sensor plug were different. I believe there were also a couple additional plugs on the later harness but I'm not 100% sure what they were.

                              Haha, they're bAAaaaack.
                              I've never had them out side by side but what you've mentioned sounds right.
