Maybe check the batteries in the back of the cluster?

Thanks for the update

E46 sedan moonroof at Wellington pick a part

Getting a drop of atf in my eye. And then the head of the bolt breaking. All of this is in the gravel at pick a part. The joys of working on cars lol
-
I would totally consider putting one of those in my e28. Just not for $8k+!
-
Period correct aftermarket gear, nice!
-
The PO included the stock headunit in the pile of parts I got.

South of the roundabout. I was driving my family in our Kia Sorento

I've realised I haven't quite made it clear what I'm actually doing lol. Instead of fixing the flywheel like a normal person I decided to upgrade the motronic version. This quickly turned into go big or go home and I ended up buying a motronic 3.1 (m50 non vanos) loom and ECU/DME for the same price as a motronic 1.1/1.3 loom. This gives me a MAF instead of an AFM, sequential fuel injection, COP and a much better system overall. Just a bit harder to install.

Changed the injectors to the m50 ones. Beat my hands up on the plenum in the process. Picked up the crank wheel and crank position sensor (and bracket). Also got a new thermostat housing thanks to Stephen (Skidz). I've now got all of the parts to start assembling properly and get on to testing. Unfortunately I'm busy until thursday so I'll have to wait until then before really getting stuck in

How come? It doesn't quite make sense
-
Budget?
-
I'm quite happy with the joining etc, it was more I would prefer not to cut up my engine loom (the old one)
-
Deadmau5, Pendulum, The Offspring, Savant and other electronicy and rock stuff. I was thinking of just one sub under the rear seat. I've already test fitted a 10" (I think that's how big it was) and it would be fine with a custom box. Here's an example of what I'm going for:
-
Removed the engine loom from the car. Test fitted COP. Started removing the fuel rail, but I haven't figured out how to get the injectors out yet (Pull really hard?), I have removed the cables and clips.
-
Thanks for the link. Making my own was going to be the next option. I've made a sub box before and have experience laser cutting and 3d printing. I'll probably find some components I like and then build an OEM+ housing for them.

I don't think Glenn is one to troll...

Looking to buy a c101 and c103 plug to suit an early motronic e28. I would rather buy some plugs than cut up my engine loom. They need to be the engine loom side, not the body side plugs. Thanks

Bump

Getting closer to 7 7s...

The metal cooling system on my e28 failing. Trying to be an e36 or something... At least it did it while I was in the engine bay, not driving (which I've yet to actually do). The barb for the small pipe on the bottom of the thermostat housing broke off when I touched the pipe connected to it. It's very badly corroded. I'm not sure if it's a separate piece or part of the housing yet, but a new housing is probably a good idea anyway. This bit: http://www.mye28.com/viewtopic.php?t=68438

What ratio were you thinking?
-
I'm not sure it's a dogleg either. It's very similar to mine. Nice car, GLWS

Bought a dead m50 off Andy. Finished de looming it today. The crank timing wheel off the m50 had the wrong belt pattern, so I've sorted one off an m20 and a crank position sensor bracket as well. I can reuse the existing HT leads for coil near plug as they plug straight onto the coils. I've also been messing around with the interior a bit, so it's a mess (testing different seats and doing wiring). And a picture of the car, because I haven't really posted many of them
