    Would you be wanting some if i found them?
    they are realy popular here in germany so there might even be some new around.

    nah. i saw a lot of e30s/vw/etc and im not a fan of a lot of them. im fine for now.

    well the car decided to overheat again today :mad: looks like i will be flushing out all of the lines and the radiator.

    i also have a parasitic draw because my battery dies if you leave it for over 2hrs.

    turns out the tensioner pulley for that belt came off.

    toyota wants $156 or something for that pulley alone (no bracket). i lost it in a fielded area, so that pulley is more than likely gone.

    oh, but an aftermarket pulley kit (crank, wp, and tensioner) is $289 :baby:

    maxed out my coils. 2" of clearance under the whole car. it looks pretty cool. figured out spacer sizes. 30mm in the rear and 15mm in the front (i need to run a 195 series tire to clear though. azenis are kinda fat)

    got the lights and pulley installed. havent started it up because the lack of power in my battery. so its sitting on the charger now.

    EDIT: checked on the battery and it looks like it is toast! strong smell of sulfer when i walked out there. unplugged the charger (that was maxing out) and checked battery voltage... which was 0v. time for a new smaller battery

    got a duralast gold. $90 with a 8 year warranty. also smaller than my old battery

    got the new battery on. fried my ALT (being the dumbass i am connecting the negative terminal first not thinking) i have the 3 lights on the dash that tell me so. so much quieter without the 18" hole in the exhaust

    ordered a reman unit.

    I like the headlights. Please resize images to 800 x 600. The resizer here is too choppy. I need to look into getting this changed.
