    They are are 17inch RH ZW3 wheels but I’ve custom built them, 4inch lips on the bark and about to fit 2 inch lips to the front

    Thanks mate! I've got a few big jobs lined up that I want to do videos on but with the weather at the min I'm just lacking motivation! plus everything takes twice as long on camera and I've just been trying to get stuff done!

    The camera on the Samsung S23 Ultra is fantastic! and the Z3 is not just for summer.

    97 2.8 Manual, My Forever Car (Unless I buy an M coupe)

    Speakers arrived 8am this morning, got to love Amazon Prime! they were 85quid a pair so not the most expensive but right in the middle of the range, I'm not trying to win a car audio competition, just need an upgrade! I set about stripping down the interior, seats and all the rear plastics...

    Thank you! that's a fair comment about the wheels, they are pretty aggressive! I don't mind the originals and they still get used during the winter, but they just didn't fill the rear arches out at all

    97 2.8 Manual, My Forever Car (Unless I buy an M coupe)

    I think that's pretty much up to date now with changes and fixes to the car, earlier today I ordered a full set of 'focal' speakers for the car because the sound system has always let it down and I like my music! that should be delivered tomorrow (Saturday) and ill try and get them fitted and...

    97 2.8 Manual, My Forever Car (Unless I buy an M coupe)

    The next mot was due and I had a problem with the horn... it didn't work and this would mean a fail, I checked fuses, relays, replaced the horn itself, all the connections and it still didn't work, I narrowed it down to be the slipring in the steering wheel, it was too late to sort before the...

    97 2.8 Manual, My Forever Car (Unless I buy an M coupe)

    After the wheels were done, I carried out a rebuild on the rear end, the car is 27 years old and now has over 170k on the clock so as you can imagine some of it was toast! the brake shield on the drivers side pretty much turned to dust and caused my handbrake shoes to jam on! so I ordered a new...

    97 2.8 Manual, My Forever Car (Unless I buy an M coupe)

    The only other addition to the exterior up to now has been a rubber front lip on the bumper, partly for looks and partly to try and protect the bumper as the car is extremely low to the ground, it scrubs on every speed hump and every time I leave my driveway haha! I just cant bring myself to...

    97 2.8 Manual, My Forever Car (Unless I buy an M coupe)

    I love how the wheels turned out and on the car they look incredible! the fitment was mostly just luck, I didn't measure anything, I just wanted some wide wheels and would work it out afterwards! I had to swap the adaptors around, put the 35mm on the fronts this time and the 20mm on the back and...

    97 2.8 Manual, My Forever Car (Unless I buy an M coupe)

    MOT passed and the car went away in the garage for the winter. Now that it wasn't being driven I took the opportunity to give the wheels an over hall! I had had these wheels about 10 years at this point in there factory configuration, 17 inches, 8.5j on the back and 8j on the front, I felt they...
