personally i think for the condition the price might be a bit high, 1k less and you would have interest

I really feel sorry for you owning one of these

Lucky you didn't $1 reserve it

As a whole dude, it drives far to nice to part it out.

Finally

Sold.

Cheers for the feedback, yah the ol start high method , not in rush, but (seemingly) lack of interest is apparent, perhaps I'm too honest too, only second ever car I've tried to sell in my life

argh, thats some brutal curbing.

My personal observations from fitting the RX7s on the race car... Rotor thickness is the same, but isn't really an issue as they are vented. +20mm diameter gives a big increase in surface area - as its a circle. RX7 pads look to have bigger surface area than E30 pads - yes they are small in relation to the calipers. Got my 15" weaves over the calipers using a 5mm spacer, many designs of 15" wheel clear the calipers without need for any spacer depending on the offset. 4 x pistons in the RX7 versus the one on the E30, much better to have equal pressure on both sides of the disc than one piston and sliding caliper. I would say the balance on my E30 is now better with the RX7 fronts than it was with the standard E30 set-up. Over-all it is a very good bang for buck upgrade of the E30 front brakes, better bite (without being grabby), good balance, etc. I am running Hawk HP+ pads front and rear which probably contributes as well. I'm sure there are better brake set ups for the E30, but at much greater cost. Plus pads and rotors are easily obtainable for this swap, not hard to get dedicated Wilwood / Brembo / AP Racing parts.

Hah, gutted. The irony of me on Sunday asking if you had managed not to curb your wheels!

The most common Oil leaks from: Oil filler cap Rocker cover Brake vacuum pump Oil filter remote housing Vanos solenoid seals Camshaft position sensor seals Sump gasket Over pressurization of crankcase due to blocked / collapsed breather hoses and PCV valve Water leaks: Radiator Expansion tank Radiator cap Water pump Thermostat housing All coolant & heater hoses and associated plastic fittings Rear cylinder head coolant plate

Here is some research I did when looking at N54B30xx 335 tourings. * Both Turbos, Do they exhibit turbo waste gate chatter, If so is it the waste gate actuator valve and or turbo spindle. This is a large repair if it would happen and is a common fault on all N54B30 engines 60-80ks * Coils have they been replaced, when *Plugs have they been replaced, when * Injector faults * Sump leaks, gearbox and diff leaks * Electric water pump need replacing every 50-60ks * High Pressure fuel pump replacing every 50-60ks * Oil in the intake, sooty plugs and intake manifold .. needs cleaning with walnut and vaccum. Awesome engine and performance, however do come with the issues that go with it. BMW ditched the N54 in place of the N55 single turbo design from about 03/10. Lots of design changes to fixes some of the first gen issues. My experience with pre-purchase inspections hasn't been good. Most will just tick the boxes and charge you the $160-200. Something I could have done myself. BM Workshop is the source of great information and Ross @ Botany really has had the experience to I think comment on these car now. The other dealers tech departments usually leave it up to the lackies to do the PPIs which is why I think the quality of service over the last few years has dropped.

No manufacturer has ever built one of those models yet

Napier woman takes the cake for bringing in the dough. #breadwinning

had an aneurysm trying to plasti-dip my window chrome in the sh*t hole Wellington wind. honestly. screw everyone else that has normal weather / a garage to do it in. the rage was strong today. here is the result: off to go calm down now. thanks very much to everyone that gave me advice along the way:)

Gave myself an early Xmas present. Brembos for HELLM3.

Wheels on finally! Had a change in tyre size over the week but happy now!
