[tommi_e21]

yes buy it!!!! boost is brill

[e21-Mark]

Yes to the turbo!

[Millar]

unfortunately the turbo is going to have to wait a while. first i need a manifold, a short shift and gear knob, a steering wheel and reclining buckets, new discs and pads on the front, a welded diff and some wheels...

[Millar]

short shift on the way from schmiedmann

[e21-Mark]

Hope it didn't cost more than a Z3 linkage? Transforms gearchange too!

[--ALPINA--]

Z4 M shifter is better, shorter!! id go for that!

[Millar]

it only cost like £40 quid so its all good, i'm doing this on a budget remember haha

[Millar]

and now also an OMP corsica steering wheel

[e21-Mark]

What hub has it got?

[Millar]

need to get a 6 bolt hub adapter, i think momo make one

[murran]

my momo adapter took about 6 weeks to come from merlin motorsport.

[Millar]

I'll probably get mine through demon tweeks, they're supposed to come within 17 days

[murran]

depends if momo has them on the shelf in italy. no-one in the uk actually seems to stock them.
when i ordered mine momo had no stock so i had to wait.

[murran]

top tip when buying a steering wheel on ebay is to buy one with a sort after boss for a different car. my italiovanti wheel cost about £35 on ebay with a mk2 golf boss. i then listed the unwanted boss back on ebay which sold for £28 as i remember. = 1 nice steering wheel for £8!

[Millar]

haha i'll keep that in mind if i ever buy another one in the future. i cant afford the boss at the moment, and i won't be able to fit it until xmas when i'm back from uni anyway, so i'll just order it nearer the time.
