upgrades
nardi
ive been on a wheel hunt since sept and had some issues but landed on the nardi before the end of the year and it finally arrived .
haltech home
oh hi.
AUX. fan interrupt switch
the haltech ems will be controlling my AUX. cooling fan, since i deleted the mechanical clutch fan. here are a few shots of the wiring and switch. the led indicator gave me a fit acting as a diode while the switch was wired to the negative. a little tweaking gave me the following:
- switch:
- Blk wire = ground
- grey/red = signal plus jumper to Negative side of led
- led:
- white = jumper mentioned above.
- orange = 12v on or acc. wire
H&B Gauge POD
these are the original HB gauges and cluster, ive removed these from their home. i wanted to document these here. this is neat piece.
monte carlo
the original 4-spoke alpina wheel had severe dry rotting and cracking, i opted to go with the momo monte carlo for the period correct look and its one of my favorites anyway. its also a little smaller.
shifter
was also able to grab this gem from HB, perhaps the last NOS shift knob. took some modding to fit my custom linkage*
*e36 rogue engineering lower shifter with custom lever. also made solid aluminum shifter mounts and converted the 265 trans linkage to the wider knuckle which involved creating a new link, all of which got new bushings and rubber.
