                I think I can help with that, if you're interested. I do bluetooth conversions for those phones, PM me if youre interested.

                  Swapped over the US belts, it was a breeze! Began the deconstruction of the 89 as well. Some bolts have been bitches but for the most part it's been fun. Still have to reg it, but I'm gonna solve the check light ( coolant switch) on the 85 so it will pass inspection and maybe throw some sealer on suspect parts of the exhaust.

                  I am going to ask my parents if I can leave the mini outside for the winter and use the garage as an engine rebuild room, I hope they say yes.

                    Been really tearing into the parts car! It's pretty fun. Not so complex as I thought. The wiring would throw me for a loop if I had to redo all the interior stuff, but I don't see why the head swap should be too hard besides the starter and c101.



                    The euro is getting plates tuedsay! I can't wait till the meet on the 18th.

                      finally got plates!!!! So so excited. Took forever waiting at the DMV but it's in the past. Got this plate adjuster thing at Walmart and it's freakin mint. No holes drilled, but we got a front plate on it!

                        Awesome. What tire size are you running? Looks like 195/45 or 195/50..

                        I think with a bigger tire like 195/55 or 205/50 - would really make it look that much better!

                          You guys have any tips for suspension/ wheels and tires? I really need to raise it, the roads around here are way too shitty for this setup. I also want the car to be more of a handler than a cruiser. I want to run 16x8 on some different springs in the rear at the minimum.

                          is bilsteins+ hr springs the way to go? Will 16x8 poke like the 15's do now?

                            Ground controls+ koni sport adjustable's. I have the billy and h&r sport combo in my car the rears bind and cause a bouncy ride at times. I have heard that ie3's are good maybe koni and ie3

                              I have H&R sport springs and the ride isn't stiff but is better than stock. It's nice in the back but in the front seems a bit high, which might be good for you. If my car wasn't a convertible I'd run Koni's instead of the KYB I have now

                                Ordered H&R sports! I'm gonna throw on the bottle caps once the sports go on the put the gold wheels up for sale. Then get something to fill the fender gap a bit and make it much more practical. 16's are what I'm thinking? Looked good from the images I searched. Might try to squeeze in an undercoating somewhere before the winter (even though it's gonna stay in the driveway)
