That is the hottest Jager I've seen yet...love the wheels too!

Love this car Mark, alot of work been done....can see me referring to your journal when i get an e21

Thanks. I'm not gonna deny it's nice to get positive comments.

The day after tomorrow, weather permitting, I'm going on a road trip in MIB. We're heading down the M4 and aiming to cross the Severn Bridge at dawn so as to have as much daylight as possible as we pass through the Brecon Beacons on our way up to Snowdonia. I'm looking forward to the Black Mountain Pass in particular.

I've given the car an oil change, checked fluids, tyres etc although, being my daily driver, I do try and keep on top of the basic maintenance stuff. I also got a suction cup camera mount for my camcorder. It's only a cheap one from Maplins but it seems to do the job and there's no vibration to spoil the picture quality. The audio could be better on the Flip camera though. If anyone has any suggestions / tips about in-car video I'd be grateful to hear them please?

Right now, it's fingers crossed that it doesn't bloody snow!

Seeing as it's nearly Christmas, I've been looking at things to ask santa for. Nitrous oxide looks like fun. Most of the time I am plenty happy enough with the power my engine makes. However, it would be nice to have the option for another 75 or 100 bhp every now and then.

Should I or shouldn't I?

Oh well, so much for that! My cars are in their boxes and that's the way it's staying 'til the snow goes.

Well I spent a couple of hours polishing and finally treated the rims with Wheel Guard. It's about the best stuff I have found for keep polished rims looking as they should and is way better than rim wax etc.









Anyway, after my fingers had recovered I bolted them on.









Hopefully, if a) it stays dry and b) I can get my grinder out of the garage, I will get the rear seat back fitting properly!

Thanks to Aaron, who sold me the base car many moons and pound notes ago, I finally have a Schrick cam to slot in to the head.

Hmm

I think i liked the pansports more, i think you need wider ruber & more stance to get the BBS right

Jason

Once it's a bit warmer I'm going to play around with rubber / stance etc. Just needs ''fettling'' I do think the Panasports are nice but I'd always fancied BBS.

the front defo will need to be lower, and I reckon you will need to dial in some negative camber to get them tucked in nicely.

The rear stretch doesnt look as bad as you was making out. although I suppose although your prolly at the limit of reason, wider tyres might need a little arch work at the back. does it rub?

I cant believe your using my old amp to prop up your wheels!!!

Nice rims mate look the nuts! whats the et's front & rear..

bbs looks great on e21s
