That's a reference pic to show the centercap off.

The Beemer looks overdone, but that 190E is just plain sex.

 

[Heldenzeit]

You mean 306, of course

Of course haha. Not too many Peugeots here aside from the odd 505 i see once in awhile. I did see a 206 once.

This is just so much win

Although I'd say that the 2.5 16 Evo was a full 2 notches above the street 325is. The 2.5 16 was aimed at the standard M3, and MB released the Evo after BMW put out theirs.

Kinda funny, because I knew somebody was going to say something about it not be an E30 M3 when I called that little BMW "the competition".

Yes, I know more rightly the E30 M3 was the MB 190E EVO II's competition when it came to touring car racing in the early 90's. Still, I liked the look of that E30 (325i) and wanted to share it.

They're not center locking wheels, it's just a center cap that gives the effect of it.

This I did not know. Kinda disappointing actually. When E30 owners really do swap to center-locking spindles, it looks like 'effin sex. Point in case, this BMW owner who really did swap Group-A spindles on his road going version E30 M3. One of my personal favorites too.

Stunning 👍

And apparently they've been re-drilled to fit the 4-lug hubs because he couldn't spring for a conversion? Or is that pattern factory on those Impuls?

Impul Silhouette's, like many older Japanese wheels, were offered in a 4/5-bolt multi-pattern. It was an attempt to offer a wheel to multiple markets, without having to manufacture more than one wheel face.

Work, SSR, Volk, and Crimson (Sprint Hart, Racing Hart), have all produced 4/5-bolt multi-pattern wheels. The Work Leadsled is still offered in the 4/5-bolt multi-pattern.

I'm a fan so this was pretty cool

That's one way to ruin an s2k. They should paint the hood and the trunk black.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Bet you 10 bucks the owner is Belgian. I bet my arm and leg that bridge in the background is the suspension bridge in Genk.

 

[~Sp33~]

Those are some high stakes.

That 914 is awesome, how have I not seen it?

 

[Stotty]

Some great photos there Speedjunkie 👍

As Exige say, awesome 914.

I don't know where this affinity I've picked up for sorted 308s comes from, but I'm enjoying it.

Does anyone know what wheels these are?

 

[Greycap]

They look remarkably much like those used on the Alitalia-liveried Stratos rally versions back in the day, that's for sure.

 

[UnionStrike]

look like the same ones off the Stratos Group 4 rally car.

Compomotive STR, but I don't know if they're the originals, or if these are just reps.

[Keef]

Compomotive makes replicas of classic wheels.

 

[homeforsummer]

I think the originals are Campagnolo wheels of some sort - I seem to remember that was the original company that supplied the wheels for the Stratos at any rate.

 

[Stotty]

I think the originals are Campagnolo.

👍 Very, very nice and now very, very rare and very, very expensive!

After doing a hardtop!

wow, those pics got some awesome light painting!!!

 

[Time_Attack]

I wonder if these cars are any good at autox. They're small by modern standards so it seems like they would be.

 

[Keef]

Yeah, power doesn't matter so much in autox, but Yari are so ridiculously underpowered that it would be slow. First mod: power. The thing can't even outrun it's stock donut tires.

 

[Time_Attack]

After looking into them the wheelbase is actually longer than that of my AW11. I never really think about how small that car really is. Crazy.

 

[~Sp33~]

The engine seems to sit really low in them too, that's got to help the center of gravity, even if it looks tall from the outside.

Doesn't matter with a good driver. We've had someone come out with a Fit, put on some Kumho XS, and destroy times do to PAX classing on H-stock cars. Just very smooth driving pays off quite well in that regard.

 

[~Sp33~]

That's because fit>Yaris.

 

[Time_Attack]

I think the Fit actually weighs a lot more than the Yaris. Power isn't much different either.
