Ulrich's E30 Vert Project

Those would be the automatic top switches. I'm not sure what the the empty panel is next to them, but I'll just have to get a dead plate to cover it up. It's been since converted to a manual top.

Empty slot is probably for the stereo fader control.

Hey, if your front passenger foot well isn't wet it's not the elephant trunk. I had the same problem. Cleaned out the trunk still water. My jack slipped off the frame rail and pushed in a front body plug. Got water again so I fixed that. Then got water again after I thought it was all good.

Turned out to be the rear floor plug. Its impossible to tell visibily because there is a rubber cover over it. My was bent a little so I popped it out and put seam sealer on it and undercoating.

Could be that just a thought.

Maybe it was the new taillights I put in with good gaskets. I checked my floor plug and it's fine, and pulled out the door cards too. No leaks.

Weird.

Getting my final bits of preventative maintenance done today!

I'll be getting my timing belt, water pump, cam seals, thermostat, oil pan, drain plug, gasket replaced and all new filters all around. As well as a coolant system flush.

Got dat iS lip going on.

Looks nice and aggressive.

A friend of mine hung out with me and I got to drive his POS. It's okay, the pictures were taken by a potato.

I took out my speakers today and bypassed the factory amp as per StereoInstaller1's instructions and rewired everything to how it should be. The only thing I found is that my tweeters were actually blown, so I replaced my tweeters with a couple of nice Alpine ones I found at a local pull and pay. Everything sounds great now!

Next mission is to replace my hideous worn seats with some old cloth ones and get them reupholstered. Maybe find a replacement dash and get a nice three spoke M-Tech wheel.

Where did you get the yellow film from? I like the color.

I just bought some Lamin-X off Ebay and cut it to fit. A little overplayed, but I like the look.

Decided to take off the iS lip and sold it to someone on Craigslist. I liked the stock lip a little bit more. I also got some new tires on the rear. Falken Sincera SN-828s in 195/65/14.

I also ordered a new brake kit from Pelican. New rotors, pads, fluid and sensors. My brake lining sensor started flickering, so I assumed it was something I needed. Turns out that my rear sensor is just a little loose. It's no biggie.

Here's a little potato shot of 'vee in her natural habitat.

you know, I accidentally popped off my IS lip and I thought it looked better too; a little more aggressive, like a rally car ready to leap, or something.

Funnily enough, since I took it off, my dad bought me another IS lip as a late birthday present. I guess I'm putting it back on, but I'm curious about getting it painted to match.

Figured I'd head to the Colorado Springs First Saturday C&C and had a nice S2000 settle right next to me!
