This is Simone...

[Farbin Kaiber]

Nina was a very nice piece of work but I thought she was just a bit too 'prim and proper' to fit into Vancouver in her original form.

The car needed some edge, more attitude and be a little dirtier. Hence the wheels and coilovers which do change how the car looks overall.

If Nina was the girl next door then Simone is the girl in skin tight leathers and boots.

I'll take the girl next door. The qtr and front fender are all dented up, I think this car has begun a great spiral downward. How long until the blue neon kit goes in ?

I'm with Farbin. I liked it better before. Sorry dude...those wheels just aren't doing it for me.

+1

[OBEY]

don't mind my opinion

i think it just needs a better offset with the cap off like these: (excuse the crappy cell phone pic)

[T3rd Ferguson]

those wheels are fug. sorry.

[scabzzzz]

Man the wheels are disgusting. Car is hot, of course. The coilovers almost make up for the wheels.

Anything you do to the wheels will be a downgrade from the Alpinas so dont feel too bad.

Woah! Hold the judgement guys. The bodywork was the last on Levent's list of things to do (those small dents/dings were there already). MC has plans to take care of all that in the near future.

I actually love those wheels, just not sure if they flow well with her look, you know? I still have the Alpina's in my basement if you ever change your mind.........

[e30lov]

put the alpina's back on ;\

[E30trash]

you just need some wider wheels in the back, :)

+1 to keeping alpinas and installing cabrio-specific side skirts

Also, since the weather has been decent lately, get some pics of car with the top down. I want to see that interior...

[elguapo84]

Here's what a hard-top cabrio looks like with the sides:



I spoke with the previous owner of this car at the last CCA track event @ Pacific Raceways. For those of you in the PNW, this car is located in a garage in Fox Island/Gig Harbor area. Is a grey-market import, not a clone. Apparently it only leaves the garage a handful of times each year.

Yes... they are dented up... as they were when I picked it up in Chicago.

As for the wheel offset I don't think I can push them out any farther without rolling the fenders. Right now the front and rear tires just clear the fender lips.

[Farbin Kaiber]

So when does the neon go in? Gonna put the circular tubes around the brake discs? Those really will set off those chrome monsters.

Jparkr owned that mtech vert, right? you can ask him about it

[MC Hammered]

I am on the search for those Mtech1 vert sideskirts before I send the car to the bodyshop.
