Consider applying +12v directly from the battery to the solenoid. Just as a final confirmation step as the starter is actually a lot of work to remove. Secondly, consider the B35 starter replacement instead of the regular and larger B34 starter. Much easier to install as hardware location is accessi...

Try connecting a jumper cable (just the negative cable of a jumper cable set) from the battery negative to the starter body or ground strap at the starter. Do this when you're in the no start condition. If the car cranks and starts then your problem is in the.negative side of the circuit I had the s...

Well done and congratulations

Ralph

I hope you're bidding on it

I love that Reseda Green. Needs Recaros and a 5 speed

Ralph

Thanks again for the advice. I suppose I'll need to identify the master since I've been reading the the series 1 masters can be rebuilt, but the series 2 not so much. Does that sound accurate? That's just that start of the differences. Series 1 brake calipers are 4 pot up front but the upper and lo...

Those are very nice Bobbo. That's also some nice shiny paint behind them

Ralph

Front springs are the same for 635 amd M6, rears are different.

Not sure those are Dinan as there is a specific shave off the end of the spring. The end forms a D instead of an O

ECS has limited availability on series 1 control arms. Backordered on Left side arms but Right is ready to ship. Be careful with ECS as they have Series 1 and Series 2 in the same grouping of parts. You have to know what you need

Welcome to the madness. 82 did not have antilock brakes. That started in 85 82 is also the changeover year from Series 1 to Series 2. By saying you have a hydrobooster, it tells me the brake system is Series 2. Hydroboost is known for leaking and we have a known rebuilder of these units. JCS is a me...

16 is a good size, and some nice wheels come up from time to time. Would recommend to find the Rare Wheel Awareness FB group and see if any 5x120 wheels there match your interests. I'm enjoying my 16" Hayashi Fins :D https://i.imgur.com/aJjwgIC.jpg Those are some sweet fins Dmitry. I've always...

Sending you positive energy jc. I hope to make that drive from Cali one of these years. Have fun

Check Coolant Temperature Sensor input to ecu. The sensor provides a resistance value that increases as temperature increases. Control system defaults to rich condition if there's a sensor input issue Was fuel tank inspected for rust? Common issue that slowly cuts off fuel supply. Fuel Pressure is i...

Both fuel pump and starter solenoid get signals from the ignition switch and after replacing that you're having issues. That, along with no cranking would make me put the old one back in place. You don't have to install the switch into the column. Just swap at the harness connector and see if the pr...

No need to change out diffs. They are identical unless one is lsd. They do go out so best to keep the spare

Ralph

If your car is an auto, there should be 2 unused holes for the clutch lines next to the pedals. Good luck

Ralph

You have a PM

Getting things done!! Best time to change Rear Main Seal and Front Crank Seal. Inspect freeze plugs for corrosion. Change Input, Output and Selector Shaft Seals on trans.

Pay attention to specific installation instructions for driveshaft center bearing preload and guibo hardware orientation

Ralph

Another consideration is the harness connector to the fuse box though. You may have to do some work there. E24 has blade fusebox, e28 has torpedo fuses

Ralph

You should swap out the harness as it's not just the idle control that's different. TPS may also be different and I know that along with the ecu, the AFM and the injectors are also different. The TPS is a bigger concern as a difference there will require some wiring changes to the ecu. Good luck Ralph

That powdercoat is giving me ideas. Looks great

Ralph

Nice pictures you can use in this thread. First pic has an arrow going right across a vertical rod. That rod goes from the solenoid through the lock/latch system then up through the top of the door for the visible post. Pulling up on that connection will unlock the latch. Unfortunately that bright g...

I've replied to your PM Ryan

Ralph

You will need a harness from an e24 memory seat. The seat controller has different electrical input so it will not plug in to your car. Your other option is to swap the memory seat controls to non-memory unit - something I'm not experienced with I may have a memory seat harness available. Ralph You ...

I suggest you try getting then powder coated like your strut brace mounts.

Ralph

I have this set available. $200 shipped conus, more for international shopping. One pic shows where PO damaged the outer anodized coating.
