I do believe it's the brand of tire. I don't want to replace them just yet though because they're perfectly okay other than the noise.

Looking forward to seeing more progress with your car :)

Yup they are the 16"! Only size in the one piece 4x100 with that concave look I think....the others are 5x120

What do you have coming??

I have gotten... the H26 badge, M3-esque trunk spoiler and the valve cover (whewww.... maybe i shouldve bought the aero parts instead of that haha)

I'm trying to figure out how to drop the rear another inch or so... feels like it sits a little high. Also trying to suck it up with the tires I got - the road noise is pretty ridiculous... but they are at 90% tread ~_~

ok, thought you said you were getting 16's . They look great. I have my parts as of today:).
Will get pictures next week. Parts are at my daughter's house because we are moving I used her address:)
Aero parts; get them when they come up. I have not seen anything since I bought mine....
Be sure you do not have shock spacers in the back....I do, have to take them out later this summer....might drop my rear a bit....road noise? Might be the brand of tire...I am not sure, but someone on here will jump in with more information.
have fun with the car; it is coming along great!!!!

PNW hartge search

Anyone in the PNW have a hartge car of any type?
thanks,

looks good

Those are 16", right? Car is very nice. Did you get any more hartge parts? I have a package coming in today from Europe:) and a part that needs to go on this next week to help out the engine bay looks, but right now we are packing to move so the hartge is full of parts and ready to go to it's new home:)

hah yeah... well i put on the wheels and "new (used)" rear shocks the other day. It rides 100x better now haha. My old shock was leaking and totally blown... can't believe I drove on it for 4 months. No more body roll :D

:)

Have to find someone that is willing to give up their real one for awhile?:)

I think.. I'm going to try and replicate my H26 badge via 3D printer. IF it turns out well - Im going to ask somebody here to borrow their Hartge badge (twin stripes) and replicate that as well :D

[2002jm]

I got it! Looks to be new and unused o_o I'm pretty sure it's legit and if not it's a damn good rep

Yep, looks just like mine:) Good job on getting that part....now for the front spoiler:)

Uh oh, looks like we may have some similar goals in the looks department! I'm currently trying to figure which front apron I'd rather use as well. That Hartge though, cool vehicle.

I might be wrong, but if you want a real hartge front it will be hard to find. I love the alpina look too. I built an e21 alpina a few years ago and it looked great. Alpina parts seem to be easier to find, but Raul could tell you more about that point.
