Nice pics indeed Ewan. I used to work in Kinross for a period of time some years ago, nice part of the world. Very nice scenery, and some nice roads!

Cowdenbeath was our regular haunt at lunch times, a very strange place to say the least! Keep us posted with the mods to your car mate.

Yeah strange place indeed, i've now been in fife for three years and still cant get used to it!!!! no its not too bad an area once you get out of the towns. I stay in a place called Markinch close to glenrothes. I work at mossmorran gas plant which is close to Cowdenbeath.

Doh, just realised, I used to stay in Kinross, but worked in Mosmorran. I worked at the Exxon plant next to Shell! Small world eh?!

Last time I was up there was for about 3 months on and off in the summer of 2005. Played plenty of golf and went to Knockhill and did some karting with the fellas I was working with. Before that I've been up and down since 2000. It's a nice place for the scenery, I dod enjopy coming up there. Will have to give you a shout if and when I'm up next and get together! See if I can drive my E21 up, won't be cheap though

New wheels! Set of 15" from E30 now fitted, with Toyo proxes T1-R 205/50's , gives the car a much better look.

Also upgrading the suspension, have now a set of Bilsteins just waiting for the H&R springs which have a longer delivery time. So that should be next weeks job. Can anyone recommend any strut top's which are not too expensive or are new standard's fine. Cheers Ewan

very nice

excellent job.
take a look at wallothnesch.com for the strut bars (price)

Suspension now overhaulled, upgrades as follows-

Bilstein Sport shocks
H&R springs 35mm drop
New Track control arms
New wheel bearings on the front
superflex antiroll bar bush

Struts brushed up and then repainted to stop the rot.

helping dad!!

now improved stance, but handling is a huge improvement, goes where i want it to now, no more boat like cornering but great fun on the back roads so much more confidence with her now. Thinking of taking her to a trackday at knockhill soon.

planned mod's-

going to price a powerflow stainless exhaust on tue so will see what the damage is and will feedback,
Strut bars front and rear,
whiteline front and rear antiroll bars,

Also have to get the rust looked at soon before it gets anyworse.

Looks great ewan, definitely a big improvement (I still have to do the same with mine). And the picture of your son helping made me smile

Looks really good Ewan. I actually really like it in red and the lowered suspension, BBS front spoiler and the BMW stripes make it stand out just right...

Yeah well done mate, as all of us have more or less the next best suspension fitted. i.e. Bilsteins and H&R`s... the way to go!
