Thu Jul 05, 2007 3:07 pm

what size rubber you got on now they look sweet

Thu Jul 05, 2007 3:37 pm

Cotty that M3 touring looks tasty but i was thinking a touring that had arches similar to mine.

Rikster i have 205/40/16 on at the moment. They are tyres by a brand called Nexen. Glad you like them mate.

saw this today in the flesh,all i can say is it looks the b*llocks.

giggz will say this to you again bro,YOU STILL GOT SPACE FOR 10Js

Thu Jul 05, 2007 6:01 pm

Shaz mate cheers. 10j's will definently have to be considered for the future but for now these tasty wheels will do just fine im sure you'll agree. Hope you find a set soon!

Giggz, usually i would just stay quiet coz so many people have said this, but ur car is sikkkkkkkkk! i jus turned rear wheel drive from the dub scene, so as u can imagine i love wide wheels, but im too scared to get some for my own car coz rubbing is only gonna bring rust... howz ur car on the rubbing side and what drop u got on it?

Regards

Ajay

Giggz that is original and looks the nuts, I like it mate. Well done for being original. Damm I need to get pics of my summer ride up now that the winter run about has gone

Thank you very much Ajay. Seems as though all the hard graft and money i have pumped into this car is starting to pay off as every positive comment i get back from you guys makes it all worth while! In saying that i welcome any negative comments also.

Regards to rubbing. Its fine if im the only one in the car. I can go over humps and full lock etc but as soon as i have a passenger in the front for example the left front will rub if the steering is turned approx 1 and a half which is a pi$$ take. I've not had any passengers in the back yet but i think it should be ok with 2 people. The drop is 60mm all round at the moment.

Welcome to the e30 scene sir.

Nice one Kamran. Im just glad my mate came up with the idea half way through preping my car for the respray! And to think i first thought it was a stupid idea

Get those pictures up mate!

Mon Jul 16, 2007 2:22 pm

Hows it going mate. Im in Ilford. Dont really drive it about to much to be honest. Seriously contemplating spacing out the rears but first i need to get a whole new suspension set-up and then maybe look into spacing them out.

Cheers.

Hows it going dude. Nice to meet you and your mate too. The car looks a whole lot different with the Borbets on dont they. Cant stand the old wheels on there now. Looks so wrong.

Did you get any joy with the number?

Mon Jul 16, 2007 3:29 pm

Looking good!

Mon Jul 16, 2007 3:34 pm

Thanks Chris. Its just about ticking over largely thanks to you with your endless supply of parts!

Mon Jul 16, 2007 4:04 pm

Car looks very very sweet, wheels set it off...

I know this may have been deliberate,as it seems that you have gone for the smooth n clean look but i think it may look better with a tech2 boot spoiler, looks a abit bare at the back, like somethings missing.

I know on the cab a tech2 kitted car will look better for sure without the boot spoiler, for that smoother look, but not too sure about the coupe... If it is a sport , this almost helps it not look like a sport.

I disagree. In my opinion, one of the reasons it looks so good is because it doesn't have a boot spoiler.

Less is always more.

man you are still getting good coments about your e30!

think you know why

Mon Jul 16, 2007 7:37 pm

Tell you what ric325i i love it!!! But then who wouldnt. Got some really positive feedback. Still got a bit to do though.

Low e30- i respect your opinion but i think i would be right in saying that you are the first person to say that it would look better with the spoiler. I am just tring to get that hunkered down, beefy, boxy look and thought losing the spoiler would aid this. I think the only time i would keep the tech2 spoiler is if it were a legit sport and pretty much standard. By the way this is a 325is...a wannabe sport

I think the car looks great, like i said before, but havent seen a sport with the bootspoiler off, seen hundereds of cabs with mtech kit without the spoiler tho.. so maybe just needs getting used to..

sorry for my ignorance cant quite get what you are saying about it being a sport or not, you say it is a 325is but also a wannabe sport, sorry aint too sure which you implying it is...

Mon Jul 16, 2007 7:56 pm

Cheers mate.

What i meant was that yes i have an IS but its a wannabe sport in the sense that it has the Tech2 kit, (fake) black headlining and mirror with map reading lights.

Essentially its highly influenced by the euro look. What do you reckon to that sort of look?

Mon Jul 16, 2007 8:09 pm

I love the euro look, always had a soft spot for euro style golfs... yours is defo euro look with the clean debadged body & deep dish rims & low stance....

Mon Jul 16, 2007 8:15 pm

Lovely jubbly!

Im in ilford too.

Yup get suspensions sorted then space the wheels out.

are you going for coilies?

Wed Jul 18, 2007 4:34 am

They suit that car even more than RHs!!!!

Black, no rear spoiler....you cant beat it!

Wed Jul 18, 2007 9:19 am

Morudy- Another local lad then. Nice one. Yes i will be going for coilovers but blimey they are so expensive!

Falkster- Its a close call between the RH's and the Borbets but the Borbets have got to win purely for that lovely dish.

Glad you like.
