      Thanks, I will check that the next time I go to the shop. We are supposed to get snow tonight so that may put me back a bit.

      Wait, wouldn't that also kill power to the lights???

        Looks like it according to the ETM.

        Also, on the center console (some models are above the radio), there is a window motor electrical breaker. Either a little square or rectangle button. On the back of that is two wires with spade connectors - if they are an open circuit, then the windows won't work. It was a safety thing back then so you didn't close a hand in the window...

        EDIT: Looking back at your previous pics, it's the little square button, upper left on the console near the driver window switch.

          but that wouldn't kill power to the fuse

            With the 3.73 gear in the rear and 195/60r14 tires, it has the gearing close to the s2000 and with vtec working now and I'm glad I didn't put a 4.10 in it yet.

            VTEC!!!

              nice work, good to see more f20/22c swaps. factory oil pan is fine, until you start pulling more G's on r comps. If your not planning on boost def get 4.10 gear or even 4.77 gears. 4.44/4.77 makes it fun in auto x and track.
              Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

              Trust me it stock :yawn:

                Thanks! I love your car.

                With the summer setup, 225/50r15 Pirelli Trofeo Rs, we will need a 4.10 rear.

                  I have a habit of leaving tabs/windows open for a period of time before responding. Get distracted at the shop etc,missed your edit. Either way, that link I gave is the ETM for a late model, it has the entire electrical block diagram for your car in .pdf format.

                    Thanks for that. Looking at the wiring diagrams the problem might just be k5 like you said. I won't be able to work on the car for a few days because of the snow we got and I have to get back to work.

                    So my buddy, who I played the practical joke on with the anti lag, got me back good. We had a complete civic exhaust in our parts storage and he put it on the e30 and it sounds just like a stock single cam civic with a fart can, lol. I will get a video before we rip it off next week.

                    Btw, went to one of my local junkyards few weeks ago...

                      I hope you grabbed the wheels off that e28.

                      Great thread so far.

                        no doubt! ...and the e30 wheel spacers...

                        We are lucky to see ONE 80's bimmer in the yards here. 10yr ago, there was a row of e30's, 5yr ago, a row of e36's, now lucky to see one of either, and they are stripped in a day. :(

                          No I didn't get the enkei wheels but I did get the spacers (not sure what I'll do with them)

                          That 1992 cab pissed me off. It was a nice car and I have a thing for white cars.

                          one of the other mistresses.....



                          And yes I have a thing for rpf1 wheels

                          I'm really surprised nobody has asked about the crazy Volvo in the background of a few of my pictures.

                            I think everyone assumed the e28's wheels were BBS RS.

                            I love the RPF1, I wanted a set for my RX8. I think they look better in larger sizes though. 17 or 18 is perfect. The convexity is weird on the smaller sizes.

                              Most of the time in the larger sizes they are flat spokes, that look better to me also but the only small ones that are flat spokes are the 15x8 like I have on the e30 and my crx

                                Did you grab the side trim on the white cab? Can you? I need it
