    Thats awesome! Whats that weird cover looking thing over the front brake rotor?

    My wild guess is a brake cooling duct? you can see some red ducting running from the bumper to that area behind the rotor

      I'd image it's for the brake ducting.

            I did this ride at an amusement park back home. Basically a 350 SBC jr dragster on a rail/with no steering

              My Uncle and cousin did this for years.  I never participated but could get info if you'd like.

                What I am wondering is what are engine limitations, can they be 2stroke? Age restrictions? Is there certain days that you can run them on the drag strip? I read up on a lot of info online but it would be nice to know exact info from someone that had done it.

                  Bought this Clarion FZ-102E for one of the cars and I'm super happy with it. Matches the oem lighting perfect and buttons look great too. It's a basic European market head unit but that's all I wanted. Took about a week to ship from the U.K.

                    Glad to see there are other OEM style options other than Nakamichi (which have some quality issues)

                      WOAHHHHHH. I had one just like that in my civic many many moons ago. I miss that deck, I should have kept it when I sold the car. FAIL.

                          Being european, does the radio frequency change at all? Probably a stupid question

                            No good question! Not sure what this unit isn't in the us market because it does cover the full American spectrum. I haven't bought the correct antenna wiring yet but many on bimmer forums have had no issues.

                              My latest and greatest theory on the once-a-month random-loss-of-power/failure-to-run-at-all e34 life.

                              -or-

                              One of several hundred (non moving parts) reasons you shouldn't daily a 25-year-old car.

                              IMG20170312195704441zpsjk2oxgjf.jpg

                              Car runs great 99.8% of the time. The other 0.2% it doesn't run at all. If you giggle the fuel pump relay, it seems to make no difference. If you jump the contacts with a paper clip it runs fine. However, since it runs perfectly 99.8% of the time (at random), you're never sure if the changes you made actually changed something, or if it just randomly decided to start working again...

                                  Wow....missed this.  My Cousin is now in his late 20's, os it's been a few years since they actually participated.  They usually go through a rule overhaul every few years. My relatives would have a little insight but nothing relevant.  I bet there are internet forums dedicated to this.

                                          I often fantasize about someone giving me money in exchange for the e34... then reality comes flying back...
