tonybtonyb ; what date and time and location i think i may be workin

steviebmw ; thanks man me and tonyb where the first on the site to get them like the right mods and wheel combo your car can look pukka :P

MurphyE30 ; my car went into the garage yesterday for a replacement steering rack because the recon one developed a leak so its being replaced under the warranty so not a penny will be spent hahaha it was meant to be back today but the supplying company messed up the order so hopefully tomorrow i will have it back and get some better pic for you!

not sure whats involved to be honest mate, i wont be fitting the conversion myself.

i think Danthe supplies the correct parts for the conversion and you need e34 u j's iirc

what widht did you get the Calibres in Ali, are they 17x8 or 17x9?

Re: just afew random pics

by ali50ferrari
Murphy 17x8s are the ones for an e30 they are the only ones in 4x100 17x9s are 5x120 so no full stretch for an e30 lol

so next thursday 8th sept the car is goin in for some prep work and rust deletion loool and then it will be getting sprayed up and waxoyled!!!
a question i have for you zoners is . . . . .

i have front and rear tec 1 valances with the chrome bumpers and i love the look and in addition i will have the tec 1 skirts and already it has a tec 1 rear spoiler, now what i am thinking is . . . .

A. remove the tec 1 spoiler and replace it with a heck spoiler in original black rubber
B. keep the tec 1 spoiler to match the theme
c. go spoilerless

oh and do you think i should get rid of my wheels sometime next year and get a set of so rare yet soooo sexy borbet bs ideally wanted 16x7.5 on the front and 17x9 on the rears but at the mo that is an idea rolling around in my head. . . ..
but advice on the spoiler would be appreciated
