As usual, sorry the pics are so big
Well, since the last post I have gotten a whole bunch of stuff done. The electric fan is in and keeps the car so cool that the coolant temp gauge never gets too car past the second dash. Even in hard driving it barely goes above that. Operation is silent and I have never seen it go to high speed.
Also installed chrome gauge rings which look great except I didn't clean off the inside of the plastic cover enough. The needles are now red, did it with sharpie and you can't even tell it wasn't sprayed. You can see the needles very well at night, which I wasn't expecting. I don't really have any good pics, but you can kind of see it here:
I now also have red lights in the storage area so that I can read the screen on my old Ipod at night. When you are in the front seats you can't see the lights at all; just the red glow:
I'm pretty proud of this one
. Everyone knows that the stock interior lights on e30's suck, so I have been searcking for a light that is roughly the same size as the check panel hole. The problem is that most are more than 8 inches, so it would be impossible to fit. I finnaly found one on ebay for $5 that fits perfectly and even has maplights that are aimed at the seats to counteract the angle of the check panel. I wired it up to the existing lights and ran the wires under the headliner so that all three lights come on when the doors open using some diodes. Each maplight has its own button. Here's a few pics:
Also just picked up an authentic Zender spoiler, it is going to be painted to match the car but put it on to make sure that there were no fitment issues.
