I want your wheels...

pal those are great pics. got any of the inside?
you got another engine in the end then! you sure you dont want some go to match the show? Still think you should consider a little engine work - why don't you take your time and do a few odds and sods to the new engine? mb get a rebore and some bigger pistons, skim the head and add some cams? just to give it those few extra ponies! i just figure you'll regret it if you don't do it while the engine's out. you gonna put a new timing chain on too?
as for zoners on here, dan, robin, kos, eko and i'm sure a few others are here.

Tim,

Your right in what your saying buddy, while i have the engine out, i may aswell do some other bits to it! but in all honesty I really don't know what to do? I thought that a throttle body, chip and air flow would be ok for me, how much bhp can I really expect to gain? without spending more of the all important READIES!!

I dunno bud, we'll have to wait and see. I would like to change the chain while i'm at it though for sure.

I'm gonna clean the car today so will post some pics up later, of inside and out!

mikesjo - there's a set for sale on the e30zone - �500...You know you want them!!

Student funds won't allow, lol. I think the Azev As and BBS rims look the best on this car. That's my opinion

Definately agree, i'm looking to get a set of bbs split rims, in the future though. Same sort of senario really, my funds need to be distributed evenly, Car-10%, Kids-20%, Wife-30%, Home-40% as you can see my missus takes up a nice percentage, but she is worth it

Those AZEV's still look hot. Great looking time period wheel.

Okay, I have that same strut tower brace and it won't fit my car or my neighbor's... What gives??? I might be eventually fabbing a custom adjustable one.

I notice the Auto Glym on the seat... That stuff is TITS.. but very hard to find here in the US. Some of the Rover places import it.
