At this stage the Engine and trans will be 3rd Gen Hemi with a 5 speed auto, maybe a T56 but I see this as more of a cruiser. I have Garys book, great read. I will most likjely do a rack and pinion conversion and some for of big brake upgrade. Rear end is a Dana 60 so big HP will be no trouble. I has had some tin worm and it is in the process of having new sheet metal put into the floors. Comes with Grill, Dash, door cards etc.

10 litres of HPR5 just got delivered from Repco distribution centre. Sump gasket job is a go

Took some time to square her up..hard holding phone with correct measurements but shes to the mm....pathetic..I know..should have been to 0.1mm??. Will get my buddy to final whos a welder...mine arent that bad...but ay...lets get it done right. Now for the gearbox mount. Placed the e60 diff again close to the subframe to plan out procedure...and yep...just ike the headers....good fun times await???

Ordered from FCP last Weds. Delivered this morning.

up for grabs is a set of S54 ITB these can not be sent or picked up until after the lockdown. before anyone asks, no, these are NOT off the burnt s54 we have they come as shown in the photos looking for $800 Christchurch

While the Mechanical workshop is on call for essential repairs what better way to send the time. Starting with a E46 M3 interior swap. M Fabric Leather/Alcantara.

Ordered on Saturday

Ordered after the lockdown?

Be different, put an N46 in it. Oh, ok, I'll leave now...

I have the NT644 & confirmed it will not reset the service schedule (inspection anyway) on analogue system in the E30 but does read codes & show current data. It shows as having done reset but doesn't action. That said, nor does the much more elaborate Autel tablet scanner at work. I need to use the older Hanatech work scanner to do so.

^^^^^^^^^ This is an eleven year old thread. What is the point in dredging this up?

So if you lose your license for 6 months! How many days would that be?

Beautifully presented car but 52k, Hmmmm........

Yes will likely have a Gen3 Hemi V8 and rack and pinion steering. 69 Camaro's are lovely looking cars, like the E Body Mopars one of the best looking muscle cars ever. I personally think the Charger is the best looking Aussie Muscle car but do have a soft Spot for XB Falcon Coupes and A9X Torana Hatch backs.

Had an order from FCP euro delivered yesterday, ordered weekend before lockdown. Got an email from Demontweeks saying my shocks and struts shipped, ordered weekend before lockdown, will see if they arrive too.

Yay mine is finally on way to my redirected address, I think it got held up due to initially going to a work address where everything was put on a hold for delivery.

FCP Euro parts arrived this morning ?

cant help with the shift carrier directly..... but can sort out a floor mounted shifter for you!

I like your work, and watching your work. I reckon you're doing a bravo job given it's all new to you. ? It's well beyond me.

The PM has just announced (16:20 30/03) that distribution of non-essential items, including those from overseas is not in the spirit of the rules and not in the letter of the rules and she's asked MBIE to investigate. Expect these deliveries to taper off, perhaps sharply. It's pretty obvious that these retailers are taking the piss, and giving themselves an unfair competitive advantage, I hope it's stamped out quickly (and I also have goods in transit - but I think M3 suspension arms for my 130 are absolutely essential so I'm sure they'll be sweet).

Fcpeuro order from the 25th March is in country, apparently will be delivered tomorrow. Will be stoked af if it happens, don't have a working vehicle atm.

Since lockdown I have received via courier - Supercheap fuel filter (ordered before lockdown) - scanner adapter ex-Auck (delivered today) post lockdown - According to Fedex notification my FCP package ordered post lockdown will arrive today. I assume if the courier companies/drivers have the capacity they will continue to deliver (make money) god bless them ??

Same model. No way I would sell but glws. Not much to go wrong with the them. Price will naturally rocket on them

Had a wee dabble at the drags last night for the first time. Had alot of fun! It was the 2nd to last round for the season so I was fortunate to be able to do pass after pass without any queues or interruption. Managed to do 10 passes and we still hadn't got into the competitive side of it. From the get go I was surprised at the time I was getting. At a guess I thought I'd be into the high 13's but after the first pass I was left red faced with a 14.8 After about 5 passes I was starting to get the hang of the staging process, getting traction, not bogging down, not worrying about the person next to me, gears etc. A mate text me (just happens to be this guy... https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12314779. He cut his teeth on racing Hondas at this track, so I knew i could trust his advice) and said to drop the rear tyre pressure to 15psi. Lo and behold, I managed to basically shave half a second by leaving the line at higher revs and get a personal best of 14.2. Next time (28th of March) I want to be able to get to the 13s. The above mentioned mate said he'll lend me some proper wheels, perks of the early Hondas and the e30 having the same stud pattern! I'll also take out the sub, spare tyre in an attempt to shave a 0.1 or so off. All in all, heaps of fun and I was stoked the motor/diff/cooling swap stood up to the evening at Meremere.

Whomever is in charge of kidney grills at BMW needs a slap.
