I taught problemchild everything he knows.

Coilovers not all way down on the previous pics you can see how much is left to go down and it was us at machine mart.

Ahhh didn't realise you'd fitted the wheels with that amount of thread left on the coilovers.

Ride height looks well.

Ride height was accident and just how they were set when they arrived. In reality I'll probably be running it higher

Very true Mark. There are indeed some great builds going on in the UK and some great finished ones too

Original loom



New loom Doesn't look much but it's awesome and can be hidden out of sight.



Today's two steps back . Flywheel catching block so all had to come out)

Good work on the loom. I hated all that extra bloody wiring. I'm doing the same thing on MIB2 except that I've got a Dastek piggy-back ECU spliced in alongside the OE one.

Shame about the flywheel though. Easily sorted?

the e21 flywheel is very light so bolts straight on no modifying. the e30 m20 flywheel is heavier so needs machining to take material off to clear back of the engine.

easily sorted though and I can get flywheels machined for cheap enough.

I can't take the credit for the loom I got Danthe to make it up to my spec for me

Not much been happening since the new family arrival in our house but im hoping to get back into it again now and try and make Marks retro meet fingers crossed.
while im not working on it im still always thinking about it lol.
Any way had a few sets of wheels delivered this week two sets of which are destined for the E21 one set are 7x15 bbs Mahles and the other set can just be seen below them (ill let you tell me what they are). they will all be painted and polished. So my BBS RS's seen previously will be up for sale shortly if anybody is interested pm me.



for the second set I need two pairs of these

Nice, are you going to paint the centers black? I think they'll suit the paint

not decided yet black, shadow chrome ,white, safari, metalic brown with a pollished lip or subtle std silver my head hurts trying to decide.

Mines hurting too after reading that! Metallic Brown/bronze could be quite a groovy look now you mention it.

+1!

I wish they were the only ones I seem to have wheels everywhere at the moment the next free listings day on ebay there needs to be a clearout lol. to be fair though alloy wheels and watches seem to better than having your money in the bank at the moment (ive told the mrs that so many times recently im believing it )
