What did you do to your E21 today?
Re: What did you do to your E21 today?
I've started to strip my car down... Going to build a 2.8 24v that will surpass the previous efforts.

Re: What did you do to your E21 today?
managed to change the rear right side seat belt
took longer than expected - possibly because of my poor skills with a socket set (don't have many metric ones) until I worked out that the key 17mm bolt could be reached more easily with the equivalent long imperial socket and with the the seatbelt fully retracted!! Thanks Terry parts fit fine VMT
Anyway all now sorted- child friendly now
quite embarrassed what some of you guys do in a couple of hours- in my defence I did receive a log delivery and our new acquistion beckoned- more later..................

Re: What did you do to your E21 today?
I will be back for the odd holiday, back for my dad's 70th butjust miss silverstone. Planning on doing a spa/ring trackday trip next spring could be handy if some one drives the coupe over for me.

Re: What did you do to your E21 today?
OK wasn't aware you were over to Dubai for that long!
As for Spa/Ring trackday combo, is that from RMA or something? Would like to see if we can organise something like that next year and add the Assen TT track for a 3-trackday package. I have several people interested.

Re: What did you do to your E21 today?
Hi Circuit days do one back to back with Destion Nurburgring, also RSR do a 1 day combo. If the dates work I would also do a a week of euro trackdays, can't think of a better way to spend a holiday
