Default JUST BOUGHT A 1995 318Ti

Hi folks ! new to the Ti world ! First of all a big thanks to this forum as it helped me guide my purchase properly Physically 1 - The car is Boston Green Active version, 90 000 miles on it, belonged to a wonderful couple who were the original owners 2 - extremely minor rust on the black lower side panels, something I'll take care of. Mechanically 1 - Car starts fine, idle is a bit wobbly at first but stabilises at about 1 rpm in about 2 seconds, does something need to cleaned out ? anyone experience this on the 1.8 ? maybe needs new spark plugs ? 2 - A bit of suspension knocking on harsh Montreal roads. Project 1 - Came stock with brand new Yokohama winter tires on stock rims. - thinking of getting an extra set of rims with tires, how fat can I go without needing to mod my suspension ? I really want light-weight rims so am keeping a close eye on any bbe stuff on local craigslist 2 - The cloth seats suck, I want something a bit more comfy, any easy swap you guys can suggest ? 3 - Down the line I'll repaint it to a nice black, I work in a Toyota/Lexus dealership so my guy might go for some nice Lexus black sparkle

Welcome.
I wonder if the knocking is your exhaust hitting maybe your diff?
