Damn...im jealous of those specs. My Epsilons are 15x6.5 and are cap-less. You wouldn't happen to have any leads on lips/barrels and/or small bore caps would you?

Very, very nice. Those Epsilon's look amazing. :up:

Specs on wheels?

Hey thanks. They're 16x7.25 small-center Epsilons (small-center uses same centers as 15" Eps, thus the unusual step-lips).

Primitive. Which isn't all bad...

I guess I like my cars more raw - less posh (but with roll-up windows!) / manual / direct feel. My Alfa's like that - stiff steering, no brake booster. You have to pay attention.

EDIT….oop, rules…pic… Sha-mow-NEE!

What's it like compared to an E30?

When I bought my 2002 it was a one way ticket up to Seattle, spent 2 weeks driving it down highway one (oh that pre-marriage freedom). At the time the car had stock 40 year old suspension, so it felt pretty loose.

Awesome picture Andrew!

Ahh, looky here Porter!

"BMW’s brilliant move was to spin off a slightly smaller two-door variant, the 1600-02, sometimes referred to as the 1602. And they engaged Michelotti to make the styling a bit less home-baked."

"...But it was its fully independent suspension that really made it stand out in the crowd, as well as its all-round balance and poise. Alfa Romeo, whose hot little sedans had defined and practically owned this segment, was one-upped. The 1600 co-opted the lusty sportiness of the Giulia, but with Teutonic engineering and build quality."
