hey guys,

finally got the Hartge 16's onto my e30. I think they suit the car really well. Just need to do something about the ride height. Let me know what you all think

Cheers

Proper, i love hartge's. Ya the ride height will make em fill the arches better, but a great choice.

It is a great colour, works very well with the E30's lines.
Looks a lot like Granitsilber, which is the colour of my 318.

What plans do you have with the car ?

[jh83]

I have a few plans for the car. I want to keep it as my daily driver but then i also want to be able to have some real fun on my favourite patch of twisty roads. Already has a front strut brace, the rest of the mod list includes:
- lowered
- LSD
- Updated interior (318is or leather recaros, mainly for the more supportive seats)
and eventually once my engine dies (not any time soon)
- 318is engine conversion (with exhaust,headers, chip, intake)
and a few little trimmings along the way. my only problem is that the interiors are a rare find over in Australia and so when a hlaf decent one comes along it costs big $$$.
and that would be about it for now. that should make this an even more fun little car without destroying the drivability or the bank account.

Sport seats are a great up grade, but it can be hard to find a great set that will match your interior. But if you can find a couple of seats in good shape you can recover them. Check out what I did to my sport seats.

your seats look great, that will always be a good option to look out for. the engine that is currently in the car is the basic 1.8 ltr single cam (m40 i think) has okay performance in relative terms, but at the end of the day, was the cheap engine option in Australia. Still, i am not complaining. i love that car!

M10 has some great potential, check out this thread....http://www.bimmerclassics.com/forums...ead.php?t=5944

220 hp m10

[jh83]

wouldn't 220hp be nice... but i doubt it will happen to mine!!. that must have taken some serious dollars to get that motor to make that much power
