Looks like you know the car inside and out! How long have you had it?
I might adjust my valves soon - is it a nightmare to do?

Ive been round the car many times, so do know it inside out.
had it about 10 weeks now. was advertised on PH. paid good money for it but more than happy with what i got. i was gonna buy a cheaper one and do the work but decided to start of with a better victim..good choice always IMO.
VALVES
There not to diff. TBH i was in the trade for 10 years (specializing in bodywork) so i found it simple. There is a good article on valves in The TECHNICAL sec.
Take your time and check your work......you should be ok..

Well, not me as this Motorsport is my wifes pride + joy and believe it or not there's another identical just down the road from us that turned up a week ago - to think they only made 250 of these in this colour in auto + 50 in manual.
Good to see another one on the Zone - loving the wheels as well fella, lush.

The wheels were on a 318is for sale on PH.
Kinda felt they would suit my car.
Im not much of a wizard on wheel 'j's and offsets... but cause id seen them on an e30 i thought they belonged to the 'Biatch'
Hounded the guy, He finaly accepted my offer and hey presto!!
Belive to be 'image' rims....
Does that mean good or bad????

Image rims are a fine piece of kit to have - if your M/S is a genuine factory manual and not a converted auto then yep it's a rare 1 of 50 made in Sebring Grey.
There's a few M/S cabs on here, not to sure exactly how many but i do know there's x4 of you with Sebring ones now
