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

      Has anyone here ever had experience in jr. dragsters?

      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...

                        lol @ your diagram.

                        i have some spare relays if you want to try a replacement for free.

                          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...

                                      Rich man's Beetle. I do think the 914 was the lowest car I have been in as far as seating position goes

                                        914's are neat. 70-71 models are a pain to get parts for.

                                          The ecu for a fuel injected 914 looks like an ammo box or some kind of military communications box
