Not usually a 4-pot fan but twin carbies are

[beardymat]

not too sure that strut brace would be all that effective

i take it you had just bought it and placed it there just for the photos

Yeah it was just placed there when I was finishing of afew bits to save loosing it. Ive also fitted new underbonnet foam so it all looks nice and tidy

Just needs some decent shocks and paint badly now.

[X3MCP]

I'm nominating mine's for Car of the Month, Modifications and repairs are endless so not going to highlight all this, Pictures show what's been done

[lance1a]

There's some fooking lovely cars on this thread!!


Here goes nothing.....

(Same old pics, as I'm crap with a camera.)

[ItsAllAboutTheE30]

I'm bringing my E30 out from the grave for this, been waiting for Tech 1 COTM but will try for this one, here's E121 FPF....

I love that shot, always makes me think of the Aliens films

Second that, thought this was a really cool picture. Taken some nice arty shots there mate.

[mr_dink]

Funny you should mention the wheels!

They are 15" wheels made by BBS with, as you say, a polished rim of about 1 1/4". I've read on here that they are quite rare.

I actually sold them on sunday, to the bloke I bought them off about a year ago.
I haven't got any decent pics of the car with it's council spec TSW 17" wheels on yet, but I don't think it looks as good now, but I want to fit massive brakes so had to use them.


And I must agree with the comment about Dave's (d6dph) car at the start of this thread, no way is that a turd, it looks great!

a friend of mine has a set of the same BBS dished wheels, apparently they were offered as an option by BMW but only on 325i sports.

And yes they are supposed to be quite rare.

I assume I might me 2 new a member to quality ......... but worth a punt anyways

What an awesome looking car, with the right engine in there!!!

Did you ever sort out a 4 branch manifold for it mate?

[oakey]

^Agreed! There is something about that car that really takes me. Absolutely fekking awesome

[lance1a]

Not yet, I'm still busy with the 2.1L 02-Tii motor, so will only fit/modify the branch when that goes in. But while the 02 motor is out on the bench I might as well do it properly. Plan is for the new motor to go in in August as we have a ten day shutdown at the plant then.
