Michael. 2313 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 ^^^ That should look good when finished Tristan Points of failure seem to be the loom at the L/R boot hinge, LKM, and headlight adjustment motors. (adjustment motors might be related to LKM? not sure) Unplugging the motors on both my E34's have fixed all warnings and bing bongs Might get some replacements at some stage, but isnt a priority. Ahhh a wire fracture... I've also heard dirty contacts can be to blame, that was the case with my E34s rear tail bulbs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

briancol 3 Report post Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) I had the front of "C0SM0S" lowered on Friday. After the manual conversion the front end had risen a little (I believe there is a 40 kg difference between the manual box and the Jatco) so I saw Keith at Jamex and he put new springs in the front lowering it by about 20 mils. The wheel arches are nicely filled out and the car has her old stance back again. Thanks to Keith at Jamex for an excellent job.

antil33t 90 Report post Posted November 6, 2010 cleaned the e30 engine bay with a tooth brush... was painful but worth it. You're lucky it's not M20 powered. Otherwise approximately 1.353445 Seconds after you start the engine, it'd leak oil all over it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
