    thanks guys, im having a weird problem these days with starting the car especially at mornings when the engine is really cold, sometimes it takes 20 times to start or even more, even though it was at the mechanic for 3 days, ive changed the coil, spark plugs, TBS, battery, distributor, all the wires connecting the computer and even fixed the computer itself, im really pissed anyone know whats the problem might be?

    Check the 2 sensors at the back of the head, to see if they are giving the correct readings. If dead you wont get cold start.

    It looks good but your pictures are massive , try too make them smaller in the future .

    Not keen on the borbets , they are nice but 14's 15's wheels would look better.

    The more I see coupes the more I like them. Looks really good.

    What size are those wheels? Am guessing 16's. Think they look too big really. Would suggest 14s or 15's (seems to be a royal PITA to find decent 14" wheels around).

    16's are still too big IMO. You want 15's max, but ideally 14's if it's handling you are into. Also think 16's will still look too oversized for the car in all honesty.

    I'd go for some wide 15" wheels and the car will look great. Anything bigger will never look good in my eyes, but then its up to you to decide what to do with your car.
    Take a look at the Rota Aleica BM8 or Grid V that we sell in the shop - any of them will look amazing and really make the car look 100x better IMHO!
