my E30 story

^Custom dash is more work then you think.. Do a half dash. That's what the S-chassis guys do.

Couldn't find any good pictures, but this is what they look like:

im trying to think if there is a way to get it to pop off and on easily, so i dont have to use rivets.

This is my buddies Hachi drift car's door cards. These were more expensive. But they look awesome in person. I wish I could find a better picture. Vinny at Destruction Warehouse in Waukesha made them. Custom brushed stainless.

Rowley, you're forgetting you drive a 4 door E30, not a 2 door.

yes? There is no difference.

[Rowleym]

nevermind. I see what you are saying. I thought you were talking about my center dash thing, Not the doors. Good point.

[johnprusinski]

ill see what i come up with tomorrow for the template.

I got my spark plug wires today. The only problem is, that i don't know where which wire goes to which on the distributer cap.

Google the firing order. If I was at the shop I could tell you

[johnprusinski]

Searching right now.

the firing order is 1-5-3-6-2-4 and the distributor rotor rotates clockwise. Cylinder 1 is nearest to the drive belts. If you aren't able to get the wires figured out between now and noon tomorrow I can take a picture/jot down what it is on my car.

[johnprusinski]

I still don't get it. Everything says the cap is numbered. I think I got the only one that does have numbers.

[B C]

The numbers would be here

________5__3_6__2

_________1__C_ 4__  

Based off the image with the cap numbers. I will make a guess and say the wires go in this order ^^^^ 

(Sorry if the formatting is screwed up and it doesnt make sense)

[johnprusinski]

I found a picture. There were no numbers on it I swear. I got it to work and the car seems back to normal.

[Brian.]

yay, so it runs?!

[johnprusinski]

Yeah, it runs pretty well
