[QUOTE="Equalizer, post: 63924, member: 151"] Sifu Alvin - thank you so very much for your advice - I knew there was something I like about the face I saw at those pictures of the cook-out last year!!! ;) Yes, I have had the 2.7eta for as long as I have been using the car - it has oodles of torque but the only thing is that the cutoff sets in at 4500rpm, so this means I can never experience the magical sounds of a BMW straight-6 screaming at 6000!!! OK, I will listen to your advice - I will get it sorted out and on the road first, then get all the rust attended to. I will continue using the 15" BBS rims and spend on a new coat of paint, then sort out the suspension too. Right now I am using the standard Boge shocks with OMP springs. Perhaps I should arrange to tow the car to Heritage ..... The budget you have stated sounds about right - I will think of the best way to spend that amount. I do need new carpets and upholstery - right now I have cream MBTex which looks great but it sure burns the butt on a hot day!!! :blush: I will put on real leather this time - still cream - and choice of colour will be Olivine - what says you?? I wanna explore what I can do without tacking on a bodykit - but the belts on the side will have to go. For my style of driving, I would prefer to work on the torque band rather than outright horses ..... I will not take the car anything beyond 160km/h but quick spurts of acceleration point-to-point thrill me. In this sense, the eta seems to be built for guys like me, huh?? I am really looking forward to meeting you guys - so much to learn ..... [/QUOTE]
