are you using any spacers on those wheels? are they us or euro weaves?

**ndame09** · 03-06-2011, 01:29 PM

Im almost positive there are no spacers on the wheels... the car is, as far as i know, 100% original. Minus the paint job obviously. As for the us or euro spec, im guessing us. Someone also mentioned that it looks like it has an IS lip, but im not sure.

Anyone know?

installed new remanufactured 19# injectors in a stock 325ic. either my original injectors with 120k miles on them were very tired or 19# remans were so worth the $60 i paid for them. it was almost instant power.

Thanks to the neighbor's Mazda MPV & his general innability to fend for his-own-self.

pfft

preparing for a long spring of work on the e30. struts shocks mounts bushing and engine swap. found an m52b28 with everything, hopefully even new sway-bars too. i guess someone driving there nice bmw 328i with many feet of snow got me a new motor and loads of parts.

**REBELoffaLEASH** · 03-07-2011, 09:10 PM

Changed my oil, and spark plugs today. Made a heck of a difference.

**nolancumings** · 03-08-2011, 08:18 PM

Just installed my Omega Keyless entry... don't know why I didn't do this earlier. Took about 45 minute to install in the trunk, then 15 minutes of me standing there locking, then unlocking the doors in awe.

**87Nightmare** · 03-08-2011, 08:41 PM

Got it started after 1 1/2 years of owning. Good spring break...

**Hungarian E30** · 03-09-2011, 02:03 AM

I simply drove and love it...

Drove it to work - so happy I got this vert - needing a warm day

All this keyless entry talk Motivated me to fix the pass door lock actuator

**ReidSFX** · 03-09-2011, 09:29 AM

Put all the hoses I could get to from the coolant hose kit from Bav Auto. No one told me the 2 under the manifold require removal of the intake so did not have an intake manifold gasket so those will need to be replaced later. Droped the car off to have belts and new front struts and mounts put on and a front end alignment.

Getting ready to leave the US for 5 months see you Mr. car when I get back. Don't break down for the wife while I am gone. And remember you get your new top next month!!

Replaced the central locking box due to water damage, and then gave it a hug and asked it to stop leaking.

I put Omega in with a passengers door lock that didnt work. After the install it still didn't work (no surprise). I then replaced the central locking box due to corrosion and now all actuators work like a champ.

**B10 BITURBO** · 03-09-2011, 01:55 PM

2 days ago i changed the spark-plugs,,

6 x Y6 DC

**IrocE30** · 03-09-2011, 09:03 PM

I rebuilt my shifter, replaced guibo and tranny mounts. I must say it was a pain in the ass working outside in the rain and wind.

Driver door actuator works fine - so I think it's best to ts the passenger door lock actuator first - see it it gets power - then I will dig in to central locking unit in the driver side kick panel

BTW: A while back I found a bad power feed wire for the power mirrors - fixed that pretty easy but it took a couple hours to find it. It was broken on the other side of the fire wall in the engine compartment - mirrors are fed by one of the unloader relays so I jumped in power from another source to feed power to the mirrors. So now the mirrors are fed direct from a hot under the dash - and yes I added an inline fuse just in case

finally got the worst exhaust ever off the old ix, was a 2 into one straaigh back into a resonator with a tip welded on, and put a sweet ansa i got from work for super cheap on. i also fabicated pipes where the cat was, now she's direct bolt up and sounds like a bimmer again instead of a diesel.

**RomeoMike** · 03-12-2011, 11:50 PM

Pulled the M42's lower oil pan as part of an oil change to see if there were loose bolts or other assorted stuff -- came up clean

. It was an absolute bear to scrape off the old gasket but we prevailed.

**davey101** · 03-13-2011, 12:23 AM

Threw my weaves back on and washed it

**greenkidd** · 03-13-2011, 12:38 AM

Installed a fog light so now I have two of them! Then took it for a drive and went hard through the gears for the first time since before I bought it. It's only an 'e' but it sure was fun!

**Hungarian E30** · 03-13-2011, 03:42 AM

I took a look on the central lock unit. I'll swap it tomorrow. I hope that is the problem...

I fixed. New CLCU unit solved the problem.

**woodwowe** · 03-13-2011, 09:24 PM

Removed injectors bad O Rings and dirty injectors.

**my1stE30** · 03-13-2011, 09:48 PM

Today I picked up another set of bottlecap rims ... I figure for next winter I will be properly equipped with a set of studded snow tires ... these touring tires on it right now are ok in the light snow for the rest of this year, but I just really like to have dedicated snow tires on my vehicles ...

.. also got a child booster seat for the back... so my 4-year old granddaughter can cruise with me

.. wednesday I get a new audio deck installed something a little more up to date with capacity to handle aux input from an mp3 player, and a usb stick...

**Chick** · 03-13-2011, 10:31 PM

Replaced both front fenders with same color from wrecking yard, installed new H&R Sports and shocks, cleaned the TPS (stomp test = 1233 for intermittent stalling at cruising speed) washed and waxed. I will take pics when the rains let up.

**tummarabaap** · 03-14-2011, 12:19 AM

rear brakes
oil change
rocker arm replacement
throttle body cleansing

This coming week:
new rear suspension
front brakes
alignment
exhaust

its been a PAIN but will soon be well worth it!

**sandtiger** · 03-14-2011, 12:51 AM

Backed her onto some ramps and checked out the tank, No dents, I figure the Gauge sending unit is screwed up. Took her out on some twisties, came back and found I have a leaking fuel line up by the Regualator, its the 'bottom/closer to the firewall' hose.
