      Yeah, 15x7. ET30 (but I would like to change that)

      205/60-15 Avid H4s - I wish I could fit in "Bubbly, oversized, big sidewalled H4s" in my sig.
      I paid $50 for 4 good tires with only 3000 miles on them. I really wanted to get my rims on, and wasn't sure if I was going 205/55 or 225/50 yet, and money's tight right now. But running these temporarily is allowing me to sell my 16's and not run my snow tires into June. :)

        Very nice indeed!!! Perfect stance now.

        Are you planning on changing the chrome trim to black? Shadowline trim just looks so good on red E30's :D

          Thanks Chris.

          I'll probably keep it. For some reason I like the chrome, at least to the aspect it outlines the windows and give the car some solid form.

                You should never run your tank that low. You will start to suck up sediment and other shit from the bottom of the tank. I never ran my car below a 1/4 of a tank.

                  How much gas is left when the light comes on? My other cars always had like 2-4 gallons left in the tank when the light came on. It's not like I'm running on fumes, and I refill it the second it comes on.

                    I'm not exactly sure, but I don't think it's a lot.

                    I don't know, that's just me. I've always done that with all my cars, I don't like to let them get below a 1/4 tank. Just this thing I have, I guess.

                      I was about to ask if it was something Jordan let you in on. Seems like something he'd be concerned by.

                      Actually, this was a problem in the Buick. There was a little water in the tank, so whenever it got below half-full, it's start to run shitty.

                        Old wives tale.

                        The pump has a filter, sediment is a solid. What would stop it from running through this pump with a full tank of a liquid vs a nearly empty tank?

                              You guys could always do what I did :twisted:

                              Remove the fuel tank, open it up, flush it out, let dry, and put back on the car will all new gaskets, seals, and rubber hoses.
