my '85 190e - 07-21-2008, 12:43 PM

lookin to get more involved on here so what better way to show you my girl,

haggled some guy down for this car ended up walking away with it dirt cheap, shes nothing special, just looking for an everyday driver with some class to it,
its only a 4cylinder ( i dont trust myself with anything that can spin its wheels :P ) but she gets along ok,

the only things ive really done to it are,
clear lights all round,
some new tyres,
a new fuel pump,
adjusted some minor things,
and spent awhile cleaning up the interior.
but all in all im happy with the progress,






and then next monday will be getting these bad boys on her :P




but yeah, this is my car, leave your opinion and ill hopefully get to post some more pics soon for you,
laters

very clean ride bro... we could make her a wheel spinner
but if i were you id ditch the chrome fender trim, those thing are notorious for rusting your fenders out....and im not too sure about those rims too..lol....

sorry for the bad pics, il get some ones in the day for you as soon as i get home at a decent time, or when daylight savings rocks up :P

was a bummer to drive home, since i went with 18/225/40, i ended up ruining a brand new set of tyres,the front wheels were rubbing so bad that whenever i hit a slight bump i thought i was goner have a tyre blow out on me , might have been worse because i had the four stockies in the boot haha
so the cars goin to get some 18/225/35s thrown on and if that doesnt fix the problem it'll have the fenders flared and the bumper rolled with a heat gun,

alll in all the main thing is that it looks good :P

You wont blow out a tyre from rubbing the guards but
you will prob have to roll them, although a wheel alignment helped me a bit...
I have the number of a mobile guy who does it for $70 a guard, he did mine :)
Is the tyre place going to change over the tyres for you? How much did it cost all up?

well so far its cost me 900 for the wheels alone,
im pretty sure the tyre guys going to try and sort the problem out for free since he repeatedly told me that they would be fine,
but i had a look inside the front wheel wells and its not only hitting the fender but the top of the wheel well to so im thinking that im probly going to have to get harder shock absorbers.

Are you sure its hitting the top of the wheel well? Are there marks up the top?
I have 17's and I have never hit the top of the wheel well because there is a bit of space in there, I rubbed the fenders though. Go the 215s thats your best bet
