    Well I now know what really bad tyres feel like. I have always bought decent midrange tyres or premium when I could afford it. My current daily driver, a Skoda Superb Came fitted with some Laufen S-FIt AS, 235 45 17s up front. The Rear is fitted with some Farroad FRD26's in the same sizing. To be fair the rear has shown no bad habit's yet but I dont punt it along enough to get it to break loose. The fronts are a different story however. In the dry they are ok, but quite vague. The issue is in the wet. I can get them to break traction in both 2nd and 3rd gear just by using too much throttle, especially in turns. Its very unnerving and it is only the traction control that seems to snap it back into line. The Superb is the current model, with the 110kw 340nm diesel. Being a FWD diesel with a good amount of torque, I did expect some understeer in the wet , but this is ridiculous. Hypedrive have some decent Goodyear deals on at present, so I will likely but some Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 tyres. Hopefully that will help fix the problem.

    Hi Bimmersport! It's been a while since I've posted here. Those of you who know me, know I still have one car left in NZ - it's time to sell it though. I'm losing where it's being stored and there just isn't any point in keeping it in NZ, and after just imported my racecar to Aus - I know how much of a pain that is. Trademe Link here: https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/4496562823?bof=DfmoGjuv My Aussie mobile is +61 499 019 778. I'm planning on coming back W/C 29th of Jan to get any work done to the car and ideally sell it. Cheers

    Hey team, selling my E36 328i Coupe. A very good example of how good these cars can look, this one is largely original other than some Halos, sounds and H&R springs. While it is Auto, factory M-Sport, current WoF/Reg. I've spent a fair amount of time on the little things that plague these cars. Accidentally been my daily while other cars and getting work done, so 250XXXkms, however I can tell this has had a good service history. Has been on several roadtrips over the north island in the last 6 months and not missed a beat. Serviced twice in the two years I've had it, last in December, and even Cabin filter changed in 2022. Cooling System overhauled last year - All OEM parts used and entirely preemptive. Rocker cover replaced last year - no oil leaks All lights/screens working inside, including all pixels on OBC and cluster. Headlining recently done. Doorcards recently refurbished by myself, not absolutely perfect but still one of the better sets. Engine running perfectly, no vacuum leaks or misfiring. Doesn't use fluids. Air Conditioning extremely cold! All windows work. Rear quarter windows top and outer seals replaced, sunroof seal brand new. Sunroof working both ways. Doesn't leak. Paint is in excellent condition, some stone chips on front valance. Genuine 2 Piece wheels. ABS/TCS equipped, both working (recently replaced ABS computer and pump). Auto Dip Rearview Mirror New trailing arm bushes. New rear pads and rebuilt handbrake assembly (shoes and cables). All Seat Manual mechanisms working. Small mark on the rear bumper, and front valance has dragged on a couple of parks, has bowed underneath slightly. Also having 90% complete getrag manual conversion that can be arranged to come with for the right deal, can even convert prior to sale if required. Definitely one of the better examples you'll find, one you can get in and just drive. Happy to answer any questions. Looking for $12000

    Ponsonby Road, spiced up SC or 964? I wouldn’t say no!

    I agree with the anti capitalist notion, but still think we should have a strong focus on sustainability. Just because things will run out under the current system doesn't mean we should use it all as fast as possible.
