    what?

    Just putting different perspective to it. Personally that is what I would do

    No need to start crying.

    Easy to speculate, the E36 is in a much better place than when he bought it.

    It's his money and personally i think it's a decent example.

    I never said it wasnt, that was not my point

    my point is/was it needs a new engine.

    Id probably get another model in better condition with an engine

    Thats all, it wasnt a personal dig in anyway shape or form. Im not saying his car is not in decent nick, it just doesnt have an engine so I would have considered putting more money into the car or replacing

    I have an engine here already that will be a massive upgrade in reliability and power.

    Even if it's not financially correct when it comes to this car i will spend over and above to keep it going.

    It's more than a car to me, I've already spent multiples of the purchase price.
    It's the car i want, i don't want to replace it.

    thats all good and nice to see you are passionate about your car tbh

    Didnt think you would go off on one on a simple question

    I think everyone asks themselves that question when something major happens, maybe im wrong.

    Tbh power pants its the way you type what you say which makes it come across as being a bit of a dick.
    We also had a spat on the luxobarge thread a while back regarding something similar.
    Tis ybs money at the of the say and he likes the car. Have at it.
    I replaced the engine in my 156 after knackering the sump, would it have been cheaper buying another car? Yes but I loved that 156 and also cause I knew exactly what was done to the car and not what some moron says.

    who'd have thought an honest, straight forward question would turn you into a lunatic

    once again, no malice intended, simple question.

    they look like 14's so you can probably reuse your old tyres anyway?

    if we are guessing potential brand names, i'l go with momo.

    Ya, they are 14" indeed.. That was the plan.. Hopefully I will have them tidied up abit before I stick them on.. Sick of the steelies..

    Ya, you maybe right, I genuinely have no idea. But tis a bit strange there is no brand stamp on them..

    Currently in a friends polo (ex boards owned also :))
    Buying something extra towards the end of this week, an astra or something.

    The E36 won't go back on the road after these mods, it would be too hard to insure etc!
