Rare as bro. But christ those wheels make me want to gouge out my eyeballs.

I walked out of McDonalds the other day. I was in mid order and turned to look out the window to see someone pull up beside my E38. Heaps of parks around and this woman pulls in right beside me. So while I'm ordering I've got an eye on what she's up to. Bit-h gets out of her car and dumps her handbag, keys and cellphone on the roof of my car while she's getting her kids sorted. F--k me!!!!!!! So I storm out there and I'm yelling as I walk out the door.."Hey, my cars not a f*#king shelf for your crap, get it off my car". She looks at me like I'm crazy..lol Then has the nerve to tell me she'll "only be a minute so whats my problem"? FFS I manage to get control of my growing temper and explain that the car is "my pride and joy and I dont really want it scatched, sorry for yelling but pls remove your stuff". Her reply sent my temper over the top. "Its only a car, get over it". So I reach out and grabed her keys and cell phone and sent them flying about 30ft into the bush's on the other side of the fence. Last I heard from her was she was going to call the police.. Dunno if she did or not. I got in my car and drove through the drive thru to get my order and gave her a nice wave and smile as I drove out. She was still in the bush's with her kids looking for her keys and cell..

i have no idea why some think turbos = unreliable i wouldnt have a turbo business for the last 25 yrs plus if that was the case or maybe people are listening to the wrong sources,light car small motor plus turbo = a better handling car something to consider for a track day play car

Good thing it's sold then, the vag on the other hand....

Mmmnnnnn.... Unlimited funds!

All ready on my watchlist

Every time I see this car the more and more I want one. Excited to see the progress. Can't wait!

I'd pay money to watch what happens next!!

Right-O dyno results... Seems to be misfiring up top a bit which is affecting peak power. Will need to get some diagnostics done to check over the ignition system. As you can see here the dyno graph plotting is very 'spikey' up top : The inlet air temps were quite high, 20 deg C above ambient for the first run which made 226 rwkw in 5th gear with something a miss up top. Had INPA doing real time logging of sucked air temp : We then hooked up a large fan which helped greatly with bringing down IAT's still about 10 deg C above ambient, that was with the fan running for over 25mins to cool things down. Sucked air temps after around 25mins of cooling down : Final power figure was 229 rwkw in 4th gear. AFR's looks much better than last year, so the tune has done a fair of tidying up with fueling. Torque reading is good, and feels much better than before, especially in the mid range. So overall a 9 rwkw improvement with the tune. Both this and last years run were still not as good as they could be due to some issues at high rpm's. No doubt I'll get to the bottom of it though :-)

Off to get a power run on a dyno shortly. Will post back results, I'll also see if they're suitable to host our next club dyno day.

I appreciate your input, Josh. Labour is a huge chunk of the price as you can imagine. If the parts are sourced from anywhere other than TM BMW the warranty isn't included (AutoSure is a real hard-ass). I am still trying to get the price down, Taylors can't do anything, I've got 27% off majority of the parts too. It's peace of mind at the very least, not wanting to do this over again.

If anyone has a contact number for him, can you please send me it via PM, or get him to check his PM etc. Cheers

All yah need to do is message us Aucklanders Flick Sam a message - he will have it

Will update my other thread in Projects so as not to hijack.

You would think New World Remuera of all places would have carparks 2.5 times the size of normal ones

Probably your best bet Get it on video too

No they can. They control the parking spaces along there. Also if you park along where the Panel shops are on the footpath. You can argue it. They will drag it out adding late penalties. You will still end up paying.

If you happen to get in accident, even if not your fault, your insurance would be void if you're running uncertified mods. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
