lovely car and my fav colour!

we are only the other side of the Cairgorms from you!
Duracell is quite right about the friendliness of this forum- no rude language or smart aleccy comments (you should see how bad the Jeep forum is!)

Goodness, that exhaust seems rather sinful on the car, can't you find a more "original" looking exhaust? Nice original wheels by the way...

Shorten the tailpipe a bit and it'll give a whole different look

I don't want to shorten it. It makes it look a bit more wild which I like. The rest of the car will be pretty much OEM so its nice to have a little bit of madness. Il update the thread later but it's now on e30 Bbs with a 60mm drop. It failed its mot due to rear sub frame mounts and on Sunday a bolt went into the carb and now the engine is pretty much destroyed. I'm not having great luck....not to mention losing a wheel at 70mph

Here in the Netherlands i think we would have a problem with the police with such a tailpipe because it is wider then the car and a sharp object.

Its perfectly legal so the police can ...
Heres a video of it James took

Anyway heres the update. last month I went to a drift event in it, and on the way home a wheel flew off at 70mph due to e30 bbs spacers and stock bolts. The only damage was that a stone made the washer bottle hose come disconnected. I jacked up the car, put the wheel back on and drove it home

We replaced anti roll bar bushes, lower outter arm bushes, fitted a new wing and fitted poison elf 60mm lowering springs and new shocks

Unfortunately however, the car failed its MOT due to rusty rear sub frame mounts, so on Sunday I took her out for a last drive before the work was done. One of the studs on top of the air filter housing sheered and went into the carb and I am now in the process of taking the head off to find the bolt and inspect the damage. IF, the engine is cooked, i have another 1.8 M10 with a weber twin choke lined up. Stay tuned folks
