My production date is listed as 1991-03-08, and my last 7 are EE74493.

It may be near the end of the line.

For Sale / The Ultimate COP FS Thread

« on: August 26, 2009, 07:55:01 PM »

I received my COP kit today (thanks, Rob!) and it looks very, very nice.  If you are on the fence regarding this, by all means, go ahead.  I don't know how much Rob makes per kit, but the cost of the components and shipping can't be much less than the cost of the kit.  It's more of a public service than a commercial enterprise.

My one question - you reuse the connectors from the old coils to wire the plug on the new coils, after shortening the wiring harness, or do you need to buy new crimp-on connectors and plugs?

I'll be going over the top of the enginge in a few days, doing the COP, injectors, gaskets and cleaning up the water and vacuum lines beneath the intake manifold.  Plus, I need to replace four tires and a rear wheel bearing.

I bought the car in July knowing it would be a project, and I'm looking forward to it.

Pictures and coments to come, on appropriate threads.  I'm off to Joe Factor / Luky in Burbank to get some mil-spec items for the work.  There's nothing like surplus by-the-pound fastners.

Suspension / Replacement Tire question - 91 318ic

« on: August 23, 2009, 06:06:25 PM »

Amazingly, I just bought a set of the Goodyear TA Tractions mentioned abobe for $45 per tire on closeout from Tire Rack.

They're good tires, but it seems that the window is closing for OEM-sized tires for the e30.

The next time I go to buy a set, they may well be NLA.
