Just to make you jealous

[Joshy]

Greetings from across the Pond.

I just thought I'd show you a couple of shots of my new Touring, I understand that you lot didn't get them over in North America?


















Huge Trunk FTW.


4 Pot engine FTL.

Any suggestions as to what I should do next (other than installing a proper engine :D)?

I feel like I've got a really good base to build an awesome E30, but don't have clue where I should start.

Oh, and I feel like I should drop the price into the mix too - I paid £120 or roughly $250 for it .

Thanks for Looking

Josh

fix rust.

[ColdAccord]

its like looking in a mirror, but the mirror subtracts 2 cylinders

[Joshy]

fix rust.

Already taken care of. These are "old" (2 weeks old) pictures, since then I've touched up the bits that were going a bit brown and had it checked out by a body shop who say it's structurally rust free, which surprisingly for a UK Car.

What shall I do in regards to wheels Gentleman? I'll more than likely be throwing cut slicks on the BBS' for track use, so I need suggestions as to what my "street rims" should be

[scabzzzz]

Wow.

For this thing, I'd recommend some Borbet B's right off the top. I think Borbet A's would be nice too. And of course, anything in the RS/RM family.
Anything wiht a dish, on coilovers.
As far as motors, anything 24v. Or anything 6 cylinder, so maybe an m20 stroker would be neat.

maybe just some nice 15" euroweaves? I'm sure they're cheap as hell and easy to find over there. I've always liked them.

I understand that you lot didn't get them over in North America?

Ya we didn't get any except for the ones imported afterward.
Car looks great! I want a touring.

wow.. I am jealous -- and for $250USD.. i'm damn pissed.. i'm going to Europe

[kronus]

Stay with some sort of mesh wheels, definitely. You've made me jealous, though.

Where are the window switches for the rear windows? Can they be controlled from the front?

[elsabor67]

DAMN!!!! That's highway robery. Nice catch. 15" weaves would look sweet on it.

[Farbin Kaiber]

16" Alpinas.

Whoa, Who said anything about electric windows? :D It's total poverty spec inside, complete with wind down rear windows and a “keep fit” manual sunroof (like I’m ever going to need it living in England :D).

Cold Accord, your car looks friggin epic. I wasn't sure about tinting the windows, but I think see your car has swayed my decision

It take it when you say euroweaves, you mean standard (for us at least) 15" BBS wheels. What wheels did you guys get then? Just "Bottle Tops"?

And finally, what do you guys think about these wheels -

In white to create something along the lines of this:

(If anybody is a wizz at Photoshop and feels like giving me a few ideas please go ahead, I'd be really grateful.)

Thanks for reading

Standard size for weaves here is 14". But IX models came with 15". Put something with a dish, and drop it.
