Is this the blue one, work blocks all the picture sites. Amir's? I still wanna bring mine in and have yall do the turbo. Just dont have the money, never had the money. Plus theres a few things wrong with the suspension. Yall do suspension? I can get the parts cheap, I just want someone whos worked on the 147 before, the guys over here at BMW just look at my car like its from outer space. Are yall open on Saturday? Gonna have to call ronald and gary and see whats up.

thanks for all the awesome words guys.

i am in the process of making adjustable arms for the 147. Because when you slam this car the camber in the rear goes totally out and leaves no contact patch for competitive driving. I was about to give up on the car and take the motor and tranny out and put it into a 240sx, but after all my friends and all the work i put into this car i will hold on to it a little longer. And try to fix all the short comings of the car to make it a more competitive.

just give us a call Abear (713)782-7786 www.786motoring.com
