Didn't see another thread? At first I thought, "na" - but I have already come around. This thing looks sick. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pn2SiCgKcXg

I can think of at least half a dozen reasons to use the Q&A over a phone call, but mostly I just prefer to use the technology as provided.

Yeah, sure is. My inner grandpa got a bit excited seeing it none the less though.

Half an hour of badass rally thrash here....

Id help if out if i could remember exactly what i used but https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/tools-repair-kits/repair-kits/listing/3809340010 is a good investment

*everything 😛

Like the bonnet line and the windscreen rake. E46 M3 esk . Rear csl boot looks good too.

What brand control arm?

If you have genuine interest in the car (or any car for that matter) ring the seller up. Rather than asking unnecessary questions and be considered a dick by other watchers. Use your life skills when talking to the vendor, and you get a better idea of both the car and the seller, and you should be able to make an informed decision quite quickly. I must admit to being addicted to reading the Q&A sections on Trade Me auto's, its more fun than watching TV.

Hi, nah I need a set of rims for test day track tyres.

Yes, the "I'm not sure sorry..." was a disappointing response to mine and others questions

Price at the moment seems reasonable to me for what looks like a tidy facelift. Not a factory manual but may not be an issue for some.

It looks nice (best colour imho), but plenty of manuals to choose from right now. I'd tend to not pay over 10k for one, so this seems about right. What brand are the wheels? See what service history it has and if the usual culprits have been addressed (water pump, thermostat, valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket, sump gasket, coils, plugs, etc, etc.) This claim sounds very dubious if my memory serves me... "Even in third gear, on a dry road, you'll light up the traction light if you plant the foot." Check the tyres aren't rock hard rubbish.

I got a set of AP Sportfahrwerke lowering springs from Speedfactor as I was wary of the trademe sets, and wanted to buy from somewhere with a warranty. Evan and the team are very knowledgeable and can help you with any questions you may have. They were $350 including shipping and have a great feel to them. They also stock shocks and struts if you're looking to do those at the same time too.

Still a good few of them out there being used properly. Was a good wee fleet of 3 or 4 at the Ashley Forest Rally Sprint last weekend too. Gave a few 4WD's a run for their money. Way more fun to watch too.

I have used this tool for a few years now the flanged bushes are a problem but the non flaned versions are a piece of cake.
