Looks good... damn good. Speaking for MYSELF, the white wheels don't do it justice. But that's MY opinion. Two thumbs up!!

thanks :) what wheels would you recomend? I have looked on Super DTM, but many of my friends here have them..... Maby some compomotives :)
 
thanks charnock!
dont know what the graphic was supposed to be, but it was the first thing I "fixed" when I got it :)
glad you liked the wheels, my only thought is they could have been an inch og two bigger.
 
very nice looking car mate.
nice job with the photos too!

i like how the intercooler is mounted. nicely done.
what mods you getting done this time?
 
thanks a lot guys!

I took out the engine, to get it ready to make some more power. I have replaced the connecting rods with billet steel H-profile rods, and ebay manifoild (turned the flange, and reenforced the welds) together with a Garrett GT3071R, 650ccm injevtors, and 4"amm.
I am also trying to fit a new gearbox, a ZF tranny from a e36 328. the trammy has gotten volvo bellhousing welded on to it, and driveshaft from 740 w\m47 and 240`s rear piece.
Plus, I have fittet SS brake lines, and new torque rods w\ uniball from yoshifab, 25mm front and rear swaybars, Bilstein Clubsport front and rear (I think you call those bilstein HD, stiff enough at least), org. diffbrake, and problably some more I have forgotten :)
