http://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/52424-quick-rant-thread/?p=578759 Today my Neighbor came over to be nosy about the work I was doing in the back paddock and to her credit when I explained that the Willow trees from her property had grown their roots through the run off for the septic tank she was very apologetic and straight away asked if she could pay a share of the costs. How nice was that? So nice I thanked her for the offer and said it wasn't necessary. Not often in this day and age people are so forthcoming. Made my day.

Stick it in raewyns car, and buy one of those supercharger covers that Hyde was making out of Perspex. No one will know.

On the 740i. Replaced this with this pulled these out and put these in so now this stays closed. yayyy

So I bought this off a client at work. She needs some work. Rocker cover gasket is leaking and rear main seal has had it. She drives beautifully!! NZ new and most of the history is available and 3 original keys. Hehe so stoked 2001 and 1 NZ owner! 200 ks on the clock but shes been well maintained

How's this coming along?

Both can be arranged lol

Heated steering wheels? WTF pussies.

Pulled this from a 80,000km Z3. Downing Atlanta SC good for 200+ HP. Should work well in a E30.

Excuse my ignorance but is this supercharger on the M43 motor?

This is a Downing/Atlanta Eaton 62 supercharger for those who want to google the specs.

there are still good people in this world

Nice! E39 club

Got an exhaust...

Got asked a couple of questions, so I thought I'd share. "Why didnt you wirebrush the sealants completely off?" - It's more work... simple as that. And more chances of actually introducing more rust. On that note, if you are going to remove the sealant with harder wirebrush bristles it may strip the etch coating. You will need to use vinegar water mix to ensure that the surface is clean and back to bare (or for smaller areas you can use molasses mix). You can use other solutions, but vinegar water works perfectly fine. DO NOT WAX AND GREASE REMOVER after you treat the rust. It leaves a film that may reject your etch primer, just wash the vinegar water off with small amount of water and use paper towels to dry. Then etch primer is a must. If there are more pointers I can give you with rust treating, do not use bare hands. Always wear gloves. Your sweat and oils leave flash rust on newly treated metal. Try it out sometime, buy metal and treat it with vinegar. Then touch with an open palm, you will see your hand print the next couple of day as flash orange rust. "How do I know I have rust all under there??" -The sealant was not pulling off easy when I was using a soft bristle wirebrush. If sealant easy pulls off it means you have rust under the sealant. I had a few spots like this thats why I went over the whole underbody with a wirebrush on my drill. "What is that silver paint?" - POR15 is a great product, I dont often product endorse but if you are going to do rust proofing then it pays to look in to POR15 and/or WATTYL. Both are great products, I just get POR15 cheaper "WOW good work, with the rust what did you do after?" - Etching primer. Doesnt really matter which etching primer you use, but if you are going to apply 2k on your paint then I would not use acrylic laquer as this takes time to fully cure, and may cause bubbles on your 2k coat. I've always kept to the rule. * If painting topcoat with 2k, I prep with ALL 2k. * If painting topcoat with acrylic, I prep with 2k or acrylic. If I use acrylic, I would usually leave it to dry for a few days. Some other people here may have better advise for anyone that will approach a rebuild like mine. Any advise would be appreciated though

It's been ages! Well sorry for lack of updates, been busy helping people with their cars. So here's some updates on my own progress... It's slow cause its damn cold in the garage! Everything has been removed it's a shell again. I'll upload the dismantling pictures later, so a couple of months ago this all started with my brake cylinder leaking fluid inside the cabin. One way to clean the fluid out I guess. Stripping Clean up The difference... after a clean and stuff - i thought the car underbody was originally black... And kinda just looks like this at the moment... These are just a single coat of rust proofing at the mo That's POR15 I am using at the underbody, rails, engine bay etc etc. Might paint strip the roof, quarters and panels later. The engine is currently being looked at for iso dipping, since a mate is starting a new business my engine might be the test dummy. till next time. Cya!

My daughter just got her PPL a couple of months ago. She's now getting a rating in a 4 seater and then she's onto what you see in the video. She's already been getting some instruction and some flight time with others

M43 =

should be sorted now ... let me know

If it costs $60.00 to fill, you filled the windscreen washer bottle!!

Shame excel would still be sh*t though... all those "features" that change what you're trying to do, into exactly what you didn't want..... Have to deal with that, and Access on a daily basis

Well I needed a few engines for myself and imported a few more for extras. A couple of them have been rebuilt with JE pistons etc, upgraded oil pumps, rebuilt vanos and are for sale. I have been looking for a good E46 M3 with a blown engine to put the 2006 engine in but haven't seen any come up at the right price. I can't go killing potential customers so you are quite safe. There has been more than the odd envious look when people see what is in the workshop.

Na na naa na naa na.

add on "special" channels. I pay for sky. Quite alot. All I seem to be able to find these days are re-runs or freaking reno or cooking shows. Yet there's a few new shows that are out... only on freakin soho or rialto. Channels that you have to pay more for. Then there's netfix, amazon will have the new Top Gear..... the list goes on... Sorry but i'm not going to pay a subscription for each show I want to watch. Nor for each sport I like. They can piss and moan about piracy all they like until they sort their sh*t out and decide on a standard service I'll download them all.

Vodafone support. People that waffle on about fuel consumption :-)

contradiction.

Passive aggressive behaviour.

Oh sweet Jesus... It's times like this I wish male prostitution was a little more lucrative...

Got some sneak peaks from the visit to the painters. Looking good all stripped down

Yeah mine's removable too. But I made it out of tube to get extra room for intercooler and radiator. Wills looks good in that it keeps factory mounting for grills and bonnet etc

HAS ANYONE DONE THIS BEFORE? look below.. there must be somebody out there. Would like to pick your brain. removable front.jpg I did a bolt off front when doing my M60 conversion. Does not work quite like the one in your pic as the grilles and lights have to be out in order to get to some of the bolts mounting the slam panel to the body. I also kept the A/C and kept the standard bonnet mounting so have not modified the slam panel in any way. Makes getting the massive donk with tranny in and out a breeze.. Removed.. In place..
