I used the m54 coils, I do not know about the S52 ones (are they the same?)
And yes, plentiful they are. (They hook up too!)

Electrical / Headlight questions: H1/H4
« on: December 22, 2007, 09:20:26 AM »
The lenses are different on the H1 lights, which will give a different beam pattern. The best setup is to do it the right way with H1/H4 setup. I have had this same light setup on all of my e30's and it is great. You can get higher wattage bulbs to get a brighter beam if you want.

Engine + Driveline / Broken waterpump
« on: December 18, 2007, 09:18:15 AM »
I got it out, it seemed like it was suctioned in there, but broke free. I was checking to see if it was a plastic impeller, it was metal one. I guess it probably needed changed anyway. :rolleyes:
Now I can get busy with cleaning this grease magnet of an engine...

Engine + Driveline / Broken waterpump
« on: December 17, 2007, 07:52:39 PM »
I am going to try that. I have only been pulling at it sitting in a chair. I thought it would just slide out, but then the extractors made me think that it is in the engine tightly. The engine is on the ground, so I can get down there and see what I can muster. It is also freezing ass cold in my garage, my little old school space heater isn't doing a damn thing in there. It is warm in about a 1 foot diameter around it....
Will update with progress...

The engine is out of the car, so that is good. I will get some photos tomorrow.

I broke my waterpump while trying to extract it. I forgot about the allen bolt and started to extract it, then it broke where the extracting bolts go. I tried to pry it out, but it is in there tight! Has this happened to anyone or does anyone have any solutions?

There is also a barrel typewithin the rear brake that can be rotated. Check out realoem.com for what I am talking about. If that doesn't work, probably time new parking brake shoes. I just did mine and replaced all of the parking brake assembly.

Engine + Driveline / Crazy 6 puck clutch questions
« on: December 13, 2007, 10:53:02 AM »
I recently bought an engine and transmission that came with a 6 puck ceramic clutch. Is this clutch too much for the street in terms of how fast it engages and holds. Is this clutch suitable for everyday driving? Thanks in advance.

Engine + Driveline / I finally got an engine!!!
« on: December 12, 2007, 09:48:43 AM »
Well, after being out of the e30 loop for awhile and my car sitting in the garage, I finally found a donor engine that came with a ceramic clutch, transmission and wiring harness located in Chicago for a good deal. We had to drive through an ice storm to get it last Sunday, but it is worth it if you ask me. I will post a write-up on swapping the engine. I will also include in that process my COP conversion and elimination of the throttle body heater plate and associated hoses. Now I have a shitload of cleaning and swapping between the engines to get everything ready. It is like having 20 small projects within 1 large project. 
BTW - I have 2 A/C compressors with block mount, 2 P/S pumps, 1 P/S reservoir and associated hoses I would like to part with if anyone is interested.

Don't you just use the hook on the front and the other point that is about that same place in the rear? I will go shoot a few photos.
