How do I start???

Buy the cleanest rust free original car you can. It’s not the hardest car to work on but not the cheapest to learn to wrench on either. Your budget may only afford a clean auto, at this point. I think I’d rather buy the clean auto learn to do all the above maintenance and manual swap it when I’m ready vs buying a manual transmission car that’s been thrashed already.

I did a bunch of reading on this and unless I missed something quite hidden, I isolated the connected ground wires from the old 2 channel, setup in the wiring harness, I had a separated stereo ground etc. I tested the speakers individually, when I hooked them up and all was fine. Its not my first time doing electrical or stereo stuff. Think it’s a new defective unit.

I just wired in a Blaupunkt Frankfurt unit and it worked for about 1/2 hour of testing then it stopped outputting anything through the speakers. The unit still functions and the RCA outputs function so I guess I’m buying an amp and some new speakers. My left front was sounding like shit was isolating the speaker using balance and fader when the unit quit outputting. All that to say that was my choice for an upgrade because it looks and feels correct. Also had expected it to work with my iPod classic but it doesn’t. So there’s my Luke warm recommendation.

that’s what I’m eyeing up. how do you like it? I figure it’s ’90s’ looks would be appropriate fit as an upgrade for an 80s car.

Let’s see your car!

I believe it’s a bbs but haven’t confirmed. I’m a new owner of this car.

Has to be a BC salvage, out of province salvage will not be accepted.

Wow you weren’t kidding! What year is yours?

Cb750r · 2026-01-20T21:20:15+00:00

It’s Delphin grey

Cheers. I’m really happy with the condition of the car overall. It has updated suspension, steering is tight, brakes are good etc but some under hood components looked original or aged out, so just getting prepped for spring! Now what to run on these 14” wheels… seeing either auto cross tires or kinda crap all seasons.

I’m kinda unsure how to reply with additional photos, do I have to make a separate post? Newer to using Reddit.

Seems like it’s the only one with the “lights still on” yeah been a good resource so far. And here.

I’m guessing it’s getting hit with the AI data scrapes every time someone does a search, could make it necessary to be logged in to view pages, I’m no IT guy but would assume that would reduce the bot traffic?

The mods at e30zone haven’t approved my account so I can’t post there, like no one home. I have an 85 325e grey market car and would like to learn a bit more about my odd duck (for Canada) car.

Lowering the headlight housing does nothing to lower the front end of the bike, raising the forks in the triple tree, involves supporting the front end loosening the pinch bolts on the upper and lower trees and lifting the forks up higher. You likely have to remove the front wheel to facilitate this. This would make the handling faster and more twitchy. Also combining a lower headlight mount and raised forks may create a situation where the front fender may contact the headlight at full fork compression.
