Rear cooler removal
No I don't want to do away with it.
I am changing my interior color from Perl Beige to Lama. How hard is it to swap out the housing? Versus painting it.

Re: Mystery Speaker Pods?
Coincidence.
And it seems obvious that the factory originally intended the rear speaker area to be storage pods (note the "handles"). Maybe for a First Aid kit, though there is very little room. that may be why the early speakers are small and to the side.

Re: WTB Rear Window Mechanism
I assume my regulators from 87 won't work. Good thing, because I tried to remove one for an hour yesterday. Seems i need to separate the window but can't.

Re: 85 vs 86 injectors
Yes, I too am interested how these compare to the "Mustang" injectors, but the only real evidence would come from back-to-back tests in the same car.

Lama interior - What years was it available?
I am converting my 1987 e24 from Perl Beige to Lama.
The rear cooler as well as other parts will probably get painted, but looking at the 1986 for sale on BAT, I wonder it Lama was available in later years.

Re: Used Lotus White interior in the Midwest.
Leather dash??? Looks like burnt potato chips.
Cable should be fine. I am parting out a 1985 528e which may be the same?

Re: Recaro Classic C81
And for reference, e28 manual seat rails also fit and may be more common. EXCEPT that they have a mount for the seatbelt on the side where you can see it. So the the plastic trim is different. This is more of a problem when using e24 coupe mounts in a e28 sedan.

Re: Front Rotors
I helped a friend cross-drill a pair of rotors and the weight difference was noticeable.
For a street-driven car with 5-spoke wheels, I don't need larger, heavier brakes, and I like the cross-drilled look.
And being a e24, I don't see myself regularly abusing the brakes in normal driving.

Re: Upgrading swaybars
Yes I know they will fit.
I would like people's experience with the swap and whether they feel that it helps to upgrade the rear sway bar as well.

Upgrading swaybars
I have a set of e34 M5 sway bars and brackets. These were for my e28 years ago
I am looking for feedback on this modification on a e24, and also advice on whether to do Front or both Front and Rear.
This is a 1987 street car.
TIA
