Small update. Cars now in the garage safe and sound with the spiders. and i picked up a bargain set of E21 steels 5.5j 13's with offset of 18. Center bore needs opening slightly though but not by much. I'm undecided if ill get 2 rears banded and have them staggered. I don't know what colour to paint them but ive always liked purple, Also been working on my E30, painted up the rocker cover, inlet and other parts. Also had a throttle body spacer machined up to eliminate the water jacket. I was putting it back together in the rain so that was nice haha.

Where are you? Do you want me to have a look at it one evening?

I went and got my tyres done today. Turns out i had one 195 65 15 and one 195 60 15. One had a bulge and one had a puncture, so screw them. I took tyres off my original wheels 195 50 15. I think it looks pretty sweet and meaty.

I got a early grill off ebay a few years back for £12 brand new. It went with the last car. Just keep your eye out for them.

Just remember turbo means hassle. More components. More pipes and lines.

There's no big power to be had from the rest of the engines but as far as I know no ones had the 2ltr yet. Still will be quick in a 5. But you can get f7r in there instead so that's why its not done

I'm hoping that the stretch will compensate for that. they're 8.5j. Willtheyfit.com looks good to fit.

I keep asking garages and all I get is either, £20 per wheel £10 per wheel or we wont fit second hand tyres. Is there anyone local to either Tring or Fliwtick that can help me out? My archgap is ridiculous on the back and i cant lower this car (its seized to curse word) so ive got some 195 65 15 tyres to put on, I have changed tyres in the past on my own but it always ends in battered wheels. Cheers Mark

I had the same problem trying to lower my 306. Just too damn seized, too much rust.

This is awesome. I wanted a cinq for years but i always had a renault instead. I had a good look into putting the 20v coupe turbo engine into one but it clearly just wont fit. This should be awesome with the new engine.

You might be getting moisture in the dizzy causing it to corrode a bit. Go over the contacts with some paper. My campus missed every now and then whilst on throttle. I rekon this would have come later.

Have you checked the dizzy and rotor arm? or even the ignition module. Sounds like its running on 2
