Jeff Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 These guys:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Engine-Earth-Ground-Plate-1738669/dp/B009KT2OT2 Theres 3 if I remember right, and they go between the coil packs. Edit: Reading more into it, Im not even entirely sure if I need them. Pelican Doesnt mention them in their article; only the two ground straps.there is 2 of them. they hold coil pack wires in the rectangle hole. you dont entirely need them but it helps with grounding a little. and i have some if you want them.

My motor only had 1 ground strap on it, and m50's are supposed to have 2 I guess. This might explain the random stutter problem that I sometimes had? Also, where Im at.

This might explain the random stutter problem that I sometimes had? it could be a part of it jo to napa and get another ground strap. there should be one in the middle on cylinder 3 and at the end on cylinder 6.When can I get you your europlates and meet you and your sexy car in person? would also like to see sexy car but i dont have plates for you.

StewCrew Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Judging by the weather, I'll have to swing out in my lame touring -_______- dont even start I also need to go to napa to get a longer stud for the passenger side motor mount. Apparently the "m50 into e30" stud on the mount isnt long enough. Must be the kind of mount arm I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StewCrew Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 wow who screwed that one up?Not sure. I figured spending $100 on hard pieces of rubber would get me the right bolt length lol. Not a big deal, just annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yay, it's coming along well. Leaving my work last night, I decided to get a little sideways happy in the E28. :3 It's a love hate with this diff. Bad gas mileage, or awesome drifting when I feel the urge.

Rowleym Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I'm going to Waukesha this weekend to grab those motor mounts hopefully. You still have that hydro? I'm running new brake lines right now so that would be killer to do at the same time. Oh. And fuel cell? Maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StewCrew Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 FixedDont forget about the slingshot either... I'm going to Waukesha this weekend to grab those motor mounts hopefully. You still have that hydro? I'm running new brake lines right now so that would be killer to do at the same time. Oh. And fuel cell? Maybe?Unfortunately I sold the hydro already, sorry bud. But you can check out the fuel cell if you want. I guess its first come first serve? I dont really have a use for it. SHOP PARTY! You bet your ass you're invited too!
