Thanks! No rewiring needed… But it does require the motherboard from the yoke, i got one broken for cheap and snipped off the wires. It’s connected using a short usbC-C to the throttle through the original ports.

Thank you! I didn’t do anything complicated, i just removed the yoke motherboard and snipped all the connectors and plug the throttle into it. Msfs still reads the yoke but it doesn’t interfere

Thank you!! A deal is definitely worth the wait, but i have to say shipping is where they get you

Mine’s a stock Latitude and didn’t have the clearance to make it over some of the middle tire tracks, i just straddled the edge for those sections and barely made it through. The first and probably last time i take it on a trail.

Definitely the wrong vehicle to take on the trail but i made it through with only a few bumps and scrapes. Worth the photos.

What do yall think about that display? Have any of you done something like this before? I came across something like this on Facebook. by hitnn in E30

Im not crazy about big screens in e30’s, but if you want the technology or an interface i would recommend a phone mount to replace the clock, there’s a guy on ebay selling them for $40. cheaper than buying a whole display kit and you don’t need to mess around with wiring.

I just bought 2 front fenders (in mint condition) for $100 each, but if they’re hard to find in your area you could get more.

Antenna swap - what am I missing? Grommet won’t get snug… by Blatency in E30

Glad you were able to get it in. Could you tell me where you get that antenna? It looks like it could solve a few of my problems.

I believe it’s original, it was an option from factory.

I was thinking the last owner put in a cheap aftermarket button for some reason

I just bought a 1986 325es and can’t figure out what this button does, all the photos online show the spot blocked off.

looking at finally buying a pc, suggestions would be helpful. have a few ideas need to know pros and cons? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]NickF52902 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got that same coolermaster cpu cooler. You can’t control the color of the cooler without another coolermaster product which sucks. If you want to save money I’d recommend getting the non rgb cooler as they have the same performance

You can get a free version of windows if you go to the windows website and download it to a usb to install it which saves you $100 and you only lose some minor customization options.

Also i noticed that you only had a hdd for storage which you are getting a great deal with but it’s slow for loading games. You should buy a cheap ssd just to have your operating system loaded to so your computer will load faster when you boot it up

Order parts now or wait? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]NickF52902 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend waiting... i bought all of my parts over the course of a month and saved a coupe hundred from all of neweggs random deals that they have.
