Hey a range rover on a life in the background. Did it at least drive in there under its own power? :p

Oil pressure issues. Exact same issues that have hit my past 2 motors.

3 motors in 2 months, really putting a drain on ye olde wallet.

Almost done tossing an M50 into the car so I can salvage the season. Won't be running the Pro3 class (SPM instead) but I'll be on the same grid at least. Just cannot afford to build another M20 at the moment.

Anybody tryin to get out Saturday night?

Bought some rota grids a bit ago, tried fitting them. They don't fit over factory brakes. Spoke clearance is great, the hub is too big. Tried rx7 brakes, same thing. The caliper isn't far enough away from the hub. Just tried Massive's entry kit (oh what a debacle that was) I have the same issue. Fitment templete measurements were not in proportion. I'm tired of trying to get these wheels to fit the fucking car.

Does anyone have any 16x8 e30 wheels? At this point, I don't care much what they look like.

Spacers won't do it?

Man, I love the old 6-series cars. They look absolutely dead sex in full race trim as well. If I ever have the opportunity to build one for the track...One can dream..

Did you ever see Eric Banfors m6 racecar?

[djjerme]

this one?

yes, it looks wicked. Sometimes I venture to the Shark site, there is a couple full race ones that look sweet. A while back, one came up on BAT.

That just looks fast when parked!

so today i spent the day at http://www.platinumwheels.co.nz/ and we experimented with fitting some 16x8 Rota grid-v's and new Toyo T1R's onto my car.

we had issues with the wheels design not having much brake clearance in the front.
