    My New Trolley

    First up nice car Glenn, you'll enjoy it! I'm just gonna throw this out there but I am a Sales Manager for Kia and I have been driving a Kia Stinger for over 6 months now, well am on my 4th V6 Sport and 2nd 4cyl GT Line (demo's). Honestly one of the best cars I've ever driven. You'd be hard pushed to find anything comparable for $60/70k in any brand! Awesome quality and well spec'd and performance which would rival many. On launch we drove them round Taupo track and they were pretty impressive to be honest, considering its their first shot but it shows Albert Bierman (ex BMW M division) and Peter Shreyers (ex Audi/VW) input into the Korean brands (Kia/Hyundai). Quality and reliability is fantastic and below shows my recently sold 2007 Sorento (199,000Kms) towing in my broken 135i with half the kms recently! Sorento never let me down and towed the racecar with ease, much better than my old diesel Prado! My 2c...
  2. Are these lows? What sort of drop? I'm keen!
  3. Have a set of these in 16x8, good dish. http://esmwheels.com/access/009r-p-88.html Very good condition - brought them in from the states for a project that never took off! PM me if interested!
  4. Pretty sure i have a 3.15 lying around here if you need one - pm me your details and i'll check this weekend if you like...
  5. Factory manual or converted? ABS?

    Teaser of what it looks like on some decent wheels....!

    Flywheel.

    Greg mine weighs 5kg vs factory 13kg, but its custom so i don't see why they couldn't leave another kg on if you wanted 6kg.... On a side note when the manual conversion was done on my 323i E36 we went from dual mass to single mass flywheel (not sure on weights) but talk about a differece!! E: I've also made orders with Turner Motorsport and they were great to deal with and the parts didn't take long to arrive.

    Flywheel.

    Exactly, nice and light! From memory the price of it was within your budget. You need to talk to MP Autoparts down here for a clutch, they are highly recommended and priced very well! Attached is a pic of S13 clutch they made for me - non sprung 5-Puk. They make them all in house and are priced well. They also did an uprated pressure plate for me. The best thing is even with the lightened flywheel, uprated pressure plate and non-sprung clutch the pedal feel is fso much softer than the after-market clutch that came out (sure it was Exedy).

    Flywheel.

    Get one custom made mate - the pic is mine from the S13. I can get you the details of who did it if you like.

    M325i

    I would also consider swapping for a non motorsport, non abs, factory 325i manual f/l coupe, sedan or wagon...

  18. H & R's and Koni Adjustables! If your after some H & R Low's, not super lows i have a set that was in a 325i for about 2 months! Pm me if interested.
  19. Madness - tyres are the only thing between you and the road, and on something like that you would think they would have spent a couple of $$$ for some semi's at least! As a side note the car looked awesome prior to that happening and was pretty mint, obviously a credit to you guys. I kept my eye on the build of the car as you progressed hence why i thought i'd seen the car before - ah well i guess wait and see what he does with it. I'd imagine a nose cut at minimum!
  20. When we had a closer look at the car the tyres were the first thing i commented on - they didn't look in the best state! A couple of weeks earlier he competed at Shelley Bay Sprints - luckily he kept it on the road with those tyres and didn't go for a swim!
  21. Just downsized and uploaded a video from those sprints which shows where it happened - on the first pass through the alleyway you'll see just after the exit the cones where he hit the Truck Stop sign and dropped oil. On my first run i had a mega sideways at the same place - prob a bit easier in a rwd to control.....
  22. I was also there racing my S13. It was Port Road Sprints in Seaview. I didn't see it happen but i have seen the full set of pics from Geoff @ Motordrive Photography. He came out the alleyway on his second loop and lost the back end which isn't hard to do with the surface change in seal (my s13 is pretty loose there too). He countered and it swung back the other way and thats where the about pics start. Have quite a few pics of the car and video of it being dragged back to the pit area - absolutely gutting to see it, i was crying inside!! I thought i recognised the car from somewhere, and now the penny has dropped!
