Hi all,
I've had this account on here for a while, but haven't posted in quite some time.
I'll say immediately that this thread will not be as exciting or as ambitious as some threads on here. This is just a place for me to post stuff about my two cars, and also ask questions about things if I get stuck. I have no major plans for them other than maintaining them and driving them.
Anyway, the cars:
The 323i is getting a set of tyres this coming Saturday, all in the correct 205/55/16 size. It's currently on 205/50/16s on the front, and 225/50/16s on the rear thanks to the previous owner of those wheels putting staggered tyres on them! I've only had the 5-spokes for just over a week. It was previously on the 7-spokes from an E46.
As can be seen, it also has an M3-style bodykit and a tan leather interior. At some point in its life it's also gained a somewhat non-standard exhaust. It's made me into a bit of a yob.
As it looked on the previous wheels, at the top of Glen Shee:
The 205 is currently waiting for an engine mount to arrive, as it's got a bit of a clunk from somewhere on gear changes. I recently got new lower arms and new front wheel bearings for it, and those have improved the driving experience massively! When I first collected it, it was howling away at speeds above 30mph.
Have a nice photo of the 205 somewhere on the Duke's Pass:
As I already said; don't expect any crazy fabrication projects or engine swaps here. It's just a place to document my curse word old cars and ask questions pertaining to them.
