Very true. Yet it still feels fast and slightly dangerous. Because I am on safari. In Mt Eden.

Your looking in the wrong recycle bin... I can sell you the correct oil for your car

My Hiace and my E38 are both the same i know which one i would rather be in in a crash!!!!!!

Hi guys, new here and new to BMW's but I'm on the lookout for an E36 M3 coupe. Happy for something needing work or a project- anything and anywhere considered. Thanks,

Anyone have a shift rod and carrier for a E36 M3 Evo? Trying to avoid buying new.

That Adventure Time painting is kinda tempting!

it was Nikasil that was the problem - Alusil was the solution. it's worth reading up on, as you suggest.

I was just taking up the fight on behalf of an under dog.

I did think about doing it with my 530D but I am too chicken.

Early 90's Jap turbo's reliable? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah (breath) hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Audi RS, Mercidies AMG, BMW M, Renault Sport, VW R, etc are all massively over engineered these days, just look at what power they leave on the table for the aftermarket tuners, think 60-100bhp with drive trains that can handle it.

Looks shiny what's is your plan for an air box? I have my molds still if you want to have a go with them. Staggered trumpets look good too.

Can't really complain. Was hoping for 45 but not too far off the mark and went to a good home.

for example, this video is the later model hiace (my one is earlier) and i am sure it will be totally unladen in this video. bye bye legs i once wrote off an L300 setting up the Wairarapa rally several years back. road was closed so we were going a bit quicker than usually would be, some farmer decided to cut the tape and went out on the course the wrong way, and crashed into us. i tried braking, but being gravel nothing happened, so i abandoned braking and swung my legs over to the passenger side. if i didnt i would have lost them, the drivers foot well totally disappeared and i could see the ground in front of me.

AWD car's with LSD in the snow/ice....

not to mention when its onto its second and third owners that dont treat them like a new car, nor look after them like a new car. At least the less on the road the better. they are ghastly looking things, although i will admit better than the 1 series that looks like it has the face of a turtle.

Went to a Legit/split meet on Friday night. Snapped a couple of photos afterwards with some friends.

Throttle body adapter plate on the front of the manifold was the culprit. Not a common area to leak it seems. Problem is definitely fixed! Took me a week to find out as the alternator died for the 2nd time right after I fixed this.

I love how an ACC auto-computer problem is John Keys fault.

lol and people wonder why NZ New doesnt really mean a lot in terms of servicing. typical kiwis. Yeah i was surprised how easy it was to do. Just need a 17mm spanner, 13mm spanner and a T30 torx bit. Apparently the older pumps had another pipe that requires a big triple square driver bit, but mine had the rubber hose. The direct injection is bloody loud on the Golf, no rattles but lots of ticking/clattering at idle. Seems pretty normal from the ones ive looked at.

One after the other unfortunately.... depends which get used the most. If you have a passenger & kids in & out of the car every day. Make sure the membrane is not damaged and sealed correctly or you will have damaging water ingress

Not yet...I got quoted $140 - so ordered the part off eBay which was $10 includ. shipping and I'll fix it myself. See if that sorts it

Did you get that door lock barrel done ?

Put my wheels on this weekend. Still a few things to do but I'm pretty happy none the less
