Steve, think they (porto) actually erected a monument in the town square, after beating Arsenal back in the 1930,s or 50,s. Apologies from me too groselha and a big welcome. :)

No problem on the off topic.

I like FC Porto, i like he wins, but to be honest, i don't take too much attention to football.

I prefer music, cars and other sports. 8)

I read a feature in the June issue of 'Total BMW' on a 2dr 3210is that some guy's got over here. First time I'd known of them but certainly look very impressive, as does this one!! :D

Hello,

the 320is over the past years, are becoming very desired cars, here in Portugal some Germans, as well as Japanese are coming to buy this cars, but i think the best market is the italian, they have a lot of these cars, i think.

Cheers.

Tar-Ox F2000 discs
Tar-Ox Strada pads.

Now have to use it in a moderate way for about 500kms, before i can use it intensively.

After that i will express here my opinion about that material.

Hi,

Yes my car didn't have the Tech2 kit, and i bought one to a e30zoner, i think the car it's very cool with it.

I always loved the Tech2 ones.

e36boy,

I was thinking putting the front and side repeaters smoked, and rear ones i'll try to buy the mhw smoked ones, but i know that they are very hard to find.

The only thing i'm affraid it's that the car turns too much black in appearence.

What do you think?

Cheers.

Hi,

Another update,

As i have one spark plug wire damaged, i bought these Nology Hotwires used, but in good condition, for a good price.

It looks like this now:
Image

Now i have to test them.

Also, have changed the spark plugs, and for that i bought the Hazet 880AMgT-3 socket, as i don´t have the original from the car.

I recomend this socket.

Cheers.

Thanks.

I like very much of this special model, the engine is like an M3, very revy, it does 7500rpm.
I don't have words to describe the sensations, you have to drive one.

In 1991, here in Portugal, the BMW importer created a trophy/challenge based on this model, it was one of the most successful.

You can see some videos here:

Video 2

Hope you like it.

Cheers.
