Hi guys. Have been doing this for a while for a few bimmersport members, so decided to advertise about it. We basically can polish your 1 - 3 piece alloy wheels. This service will include curbing removed and lips polished to a mirror shine. Below are pics. Price will be around $300 to $350 dependent on condition of wheels. Any parts or lips etc required for any 2 and/or 3 piece wheels builds, do let me know. Can source at a good price. PM or 02102758141.

Its only $211 a week over 36 months..... If only finance wasnt a bad idea, and the better half wouldnt kill me.

Out of all cars the v8 in traffic is a dream. You dont have to change gears if you dont want too.

Its funny aye, everyone says they would give their left nut for a black optioned well cared for e39 m5 but when they're for sale .. it all goes quite.

can I piggy back on this , I too am in need of a welder but in Auckland . 6 reinforcing brackets for the e36 rear end. Can pay cash or trade ( I have some second hand bistein shocks in good nic ) I can do all the donkey work cleaning , grinding , beer opening

We ban people to keep it from becoming a festering sh*t hole.

The "optionals" would be the automatic engine oil and coolant recycling system which fills the stone tray and gets emptied when the service is carried out

Time has come to sell one. I need to buy a house while this market is a bit more settled. Imported by Claytons in 03' .Ex SA press vehicle. 194km. Good tidy honest machine. 26k ono

This is Arild Martinsen's 4x4 M3 from 1988 in action. Well, it started life as an M3, and then received an X-trac transplant - hence the 4-bolt rims. The engine is M10-derived... Whether that means it is the original S14 or even an M12, I don't know. It does have a heffin' great turbocharger bolted to it, helping make 700bhp. It's safe to say it goes a bit. https://youtu.be/5g8eoT0M2sI

Thats not even a Motorsport interior, so not even a real motorsport spec.

yeah I've often seen this one around, has a ton of Hartge on it. Used as a daily, IIRC. lovely.

That's an awesome price mate

1st track day in my franken30! Was a blast! although a few problems came up which ill have to sort out. Most concerning is the temp gauge rising after 3-4 laps, Ill be looking at getting an alloy rad and an oil cooler before my next outing in march! Not so serious is the lack of traction out of corners, I foolishly stiffened my rear shocks before the track day and assumed the semi slicks would be enough... no no no. All about seat time now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L50apzukzpo (dont know how to embed)

Full set, all 4 wheels will be done for $300 to $350

My apologies for asking a silly question but is that $300/$350 per wheel or for all fours?

well, I could do. not so sure about the Uro crowd though. it's on H&R Sportsprings, so whilst it's still FWD and all, it's reasonably composed. If only I hadn't gone for those Yokohamas last time... I'd be tempted to sell it for a really tidy 00 or 01 740i, I reckon.

Thanks Guys but needs to be E30 med case and 3.64 or 3.45.

And yet the government (NZTA) still pays there invoices. Clearly there is no check anywhere in New Zealand between the work being "completed" and the invoice being signed off for payment.

The interior colour is probably not to everyones taste but i think it's a fair price considering there's another one up for 33k on tm at the moment. Kiwi new seems to also be more desirable but the truth is the kiwi new cars were no way near as well spec'd as the other markets.

Can do.

all power aside, i would love an E34 with a M54b30. id get the plate "E34B30" for it

Had to go to Paul at millands to drop a dodgey sensor back and had his e30 outside, so had a look and a yarn abit it. My god is it immaculate!

^ I hate wheel and tyre abuse but they're lovely rims, pity they won't fit the car if they have proper tyres on them. Other than that the car looks sweet.

Keen as bees for Angela's build thread!

UPDATES: Big update for you all - detailing the last modifications and work to the E36 before finally getting her to the 2016 4 and Rotary Nationals Show & Shine! There was one thing missing about the rear end of the car which didn't suit the look, and that was the cutesy stock exhaust tips I still had on the car, so, in order to beef it up a bit, and also give her a bit of volume, I had the rear muffler removed, and replaced with stainless steel pipes. Ultimately I would've preferred to install an aftermarket muffler, but in the interests of time and funds, I decided to go with this temporary option to make it for the show. I have to give a huge thanks and shout out to Juhan and the team from Backyard Developmentz for helping me out with doing the cutting, and welding. They are a busy bunch, all trying to get their *own* cars finished, but he offered and took the time to knock out the exhaust job in one night for me. Really appreciate his efforts! With the ride height dialed in to a drive-able height, there wasn't much else for me to do with the car other than to take her to the show. I made up a decal which I decided to place on both my doors, which are the names of the few key individuals that really helped me make this car come to fruition. I wanted to illustrate to people that this car is by no means the product of one man's work - but a team of people coming together and pooling their skills and resources. This list of names does not reflect the *only* people who helped me - but they are the people who spent the countless late nights with me, working in the garage till the ridiculous early hours of the morning, sharing sleep deprivation with me. They are the people who impacted me, and the progress of my car the most. Without these people, this build would not be where it is. It would not have made it to the show this weekend. And for that reason, their names will always be on this car. It is as much a product of their work, as it is mine. SHOW DAY The time had arrived. Time to take the cars in to the show and shine, set up, and show the country what we had spent so long to put together. The set up day began with our StanceMob member Bryce, arriving at our place to convoy to the show together. I think some of you may appreciate his absolutely clean E36 on Modenas, running genuine Ferrari centercaps: We then lined up our little convoy together, and wow ... it was just stunning to see our work finally on the road. In these pics, the car was at it's raised height for driving, the plan was to drop her down for the show once we were there. Arrived outside the show and took a few cheeky snaps ... Once inside, we dropped the car back down for it's intended show height ... And that's the way we left her for the show. The next day was sensational. My first experience as a competitor at nationals, and it was an awesome experience. Meeting all the people who have been following my build was incredible. It was really fulfilling to have strangers approach and ask about the car, showing interest in the work done, and the process of making it happen. What made it all worth it for me - was being able to step back, and watch people just stop dead in their tracks when they saw the car, and then continue to turn their heads sideways to oogle and look closely at all the fine details we put in. It was a great feeling to see people appreciate all the hard work put in to the car. It was also extremely fulfilling when people would ask about the colour of the "paint" - only for me to reveal that it was a wrap, and not only that, it was all done by ourselves, in our garage. The responses I got from that was priceless. Again - it made all the hard work finally worth it. The day ended on a very slightly sour note unfortunately. In the packing up process, I was raising the rear of the car to get her home safely - however, one of my rear shock mount bolts decided it wanted to cross-thread, and no longer sit tightly and hold my shock in place. A silly little problem, but one that meant it was no longer safe to drive home. With the help of my lovely girlfriend, my friends, and StanceMob family we managed to organise a quick and affordable tow truck to take her back home. And that's that! So for now, I'm going to relax. I intend to edit some photos, kick back in the sun with some beers, spend time with people who I've been neglecting due to this build, and catch up on sleep. The next time you see the car, hopefully it'll be on the new wheels I've intended to have for them since the beginning of the build. I'll keep you all updated on any changes to the car though. Thank you for following my build, and reading my story to this point. It's been awesome sharing my journey. Peace. Jeff P.S. - Does anyone know how to fix the threaded shock bolt/hub problem? Anyone able to lend me a hand to fix it this coming week?

#facepalm.

Revving it to redline while cold probably isn't doing it any favours
