Vendors / GB / EAT chip group buy for E30 M42!

« on: June 12, 2008, 03:56:33 PM »

hey mark, i got the chip yesterday.  how about sending some GB discount love my way too?  

by the way, the instructions you sent me were wrong - they were for the E36 318's.  i spent half an hour trying to find the ECU through the hood firewall, only discover that it's only accessible through the glove box.  i was finally able to take it out, but i got stuck because i didn't have a torx wrench handy.  

to those of you who've done the installation - do i have to open it up via the torx screws, or can i open it up by bending back the tabs on the bottom?

thanks,
matt

sorry for the newb question, but i couldn't find anything definitive with the search feature.  

can someone tell me where the ECU is on this car?  some E30 people say they have it in the glove compartment, some E30 people say that it's accessible only through the hood/firewall.  i'd like to know for sure before i start peeling/pulling things away unnecessarily.  

thanks.

Electrical / Upgrade to H1/H4 bulbs

« on: June 06, 2008, 07:19:02 PM »

my headlights just don't give off enough light for me to feel comfortable driving at night, so i'm looking to upgrade to H1/H4 bulbs.  what wattage bulbs do i need?  also, do i have to make any modifications to the wiring for these bulbs to work?  someone mentioned something about replacing fuses - which ones need to be changed?  

thanks!
