What you REALLY oughta do with the switch is combine the "Useless Box" and horn into one. Flip the switch, horn starts blaring, finger comes out and turns it off.

Lightbulb Out posted:At least Subaru owners aren't BMW owners. You almost had me there and then I looked at the username I remember when I had my E30 on my friend's lift for most of two days because it was my first ever suspension install. Luckily he was very understanding and was expecting me to gently caress it up, and I more than made up for it the next week when I helped him do a clutch on an STi (Fuckin SUBARUUUS). Oh god that sucked.

Seat Safety Switch posted:I'm tempted to see what would happen to the heater core if you poured some evaporust in there and drove around for a few minutes. It's supposed to be cooling system safe, maybe you could clean it out enough to put off a full heater core job. So it'd turn into a red puddle then.

I find more zen in being unrushed. When I'm laying on my garage floor reinstalling exhaust after replacing a failed driveshaft guibo at 3AM in 40 degree weather so I can drive to work at 7AM I start considering arson. Rebuilding my ToyoRolla motor in my garage on a stand in bits and spurts after work and sometimes into the wee hours of the morning was very nice. Automotive zen is a great phrase for it.

If you want to use those rotor retaining screws on an E30 you have to literally dip the sonsabitches in anti-seize every time you mess with 'em. Otherwise... well you already know. It's not so bad here in FL, but up there I can't even imagine.

Adiabatic posted:Anyone have any ideas on refreshing window motors on the cheap? The E30s are varying degrees of "gently caress you I'm old and don't want to put effort in" One of my motors was rusted solid. I pulled it apart, sanded the rust off the rotor, regreased the bearings and reassembled it, and it worked wonderfully until the car got smacked by a van.

My hypothesis: Someone hammered the cam gear on the end of the cam without clocking it correctly. Bank wasn't firing on time because Cam Position Sensor was not properly reading cam position. This falls apart if the ignition is crank triggered or if there aren't two discrete Cam Position Sensors. How hosed is the gear/cam key(way)?

Adiabatic posted:See it ran fine right up until it didn't. Also if the cam gear weren't clocked correctly we'd still probably be reading "in time" just with the actual cam not clocked, naw mean? Lucky bastards. I figured it had to be timing fuckery of some sort, because if that'd been my car four teeth off and a failed tensioner, with my luck I'd have been looking for a new motor.

Adiabatic posted:Right? Here's the new ones. Yum, slotted rotors. Fantastic for maintaining bite, but God help you regarding pad life. When I was running slotted rotors on the Fit I'd use 4 or 5 sets of pads for a set of rotors. Went back to blanks since I wasn't racing as much, and I'm still on the first set after 15k mi, whereas the slotteds would have been halfway through the second set.
