Hello! Let me introduce myself... My name is Turbo_K, I am from Oslo, Norway, and this is my car...

The wheels are 8,5x17 et 0 with 215/40-17 tires. The make of the wheels are JP, model MK18. These rims were made in Sweden, the production was discontinued back in 1997, so these rims are hard to find... Very few are for sale...

Why is that? I've been driving with these wheels since 1998, and I can't really see the problem?

Welcome aforum Turbo_K.

If I saw your car on the road I'm afraid I'd end up tailgating it; I love that rear end!

Hey!

The stretch tyres look cool, what size are they?

I have gone for nice chunky ones to help smooth out these rough English lanes.

Turbo_K · Mar 4th, 2008, 23:02

Thanks for nice comments :-)

The rims are as mentioned before JP MK18, size 8,5x17. 0mm offset.
The tires are 215/40-17.

The engine in this car is a stock B230K with 110hp.

I've also got a 1979 244 that is totally rebuilt from bumper to bumper. It looks like a 1985 US version, with loads of extras. It used to have a tuned up B23ET engine from a 1984 760 Turbo, but I sold that engine and bought a Volvo 850R engine instead :-) A friend of mine is currently rebuilding and tuning the R-engine for me, and we are aiming at 500+ hp...

Pictures coming later.
