good luck man! will be good to see something like this around chch!

let me know if diff sale falls through

if it's not the fuel tank then what is it? really interested to find out to be honest!

my brand new shocks and springs did this the minute they were installed! damn it,

drivers side is near perfect/how I want it at the moment, passengers side is way too high, almost a inch i'd say, like Nath said

umm raise subframe up 5mm so lower the car 5mm, if i remember what Kerry said right haha something along those lines anyway!

Mark - they were $260 to my door, will let you know when I get into it... would really like the LSD when I do them, dont wanna "double handle" it,

Small update, Brought a set of subframe/diff bushes of kerry, got the 5mm lower ones,

will go get sway bar bushes late this week/next week...then take the dive and buy a LSD,

then put the E30 in the garage for bushes and diff install, then send it to DCH or the likes for trailing arm bushes to be done.. screw that fiasco lol

Bonus also brought a sticker

OT...did the cage go with the car bro? lol

Seller is a member on here i think?

Bump

Thanks Ray, Will be sure to remember that...may have to visit when i'm up in aucks in a couple of months

Good idea ^^

Will be good to watch this, Bravo's thread was a good watch just as the swap

Thanks mark, will keep that in mind!

As title says, i'm after some parts for my manual 86 325i (pre facelift) as cosmeticly it's a joke, big step down from my nice cars haha

priorities;

- Looking for the factory 325i plastic lip so with oil cooler bit cut out, in good condition, mines cracked bent and broken, looks a mess

- Set of good straight chrome bumpers, will probably try local for these TBH, let me know tho, (Dont wanna have them bent during shipping)

- Two front gaurds in Alpine white...mine are mashed from previous owner...will look locally also but let me know!

Seriously looking at/leaning towards;

Looking at a LSD , want Good condition obviously, may bite the bullet and pay more for one thats been rebuilt/tightened up or whatever the do to improve them, Want same ratio as I have now(think it's 3.46 or 3.64)..have to go check tag!, but in 5th gear it revs at approx 2500-2600 from memory (gbox)

Unsure of market price on these, last I saw was like $900 or something? Dont want all acceleration, and dont want big long legs, as I dont have a V8 or huge power lol

Hit me up with prices PM or Cell (text),

Cheers,

Andrew

Wish I brought a set of those wheels when they were for sale..... This

Congrats on the sale mate

My E30 has done 315 000 odd kms (196Miles)...still starts fine, plenty of power, feels like it pulls strong...just annoying lifter sound haha

A E36 of ours has also done in that reigon.... starts everytime peice of piss...needs abit of maintainence loving tho..coming its way very soon, then it'll run spot on again

that sucks Gaz, don't mean to stereotype, coz there are some good sorts that live out the to be mentioned ways, but have u asked anyone u know, or mates of mates that live in Goon or Kaiapoi / North canty lol, lots of shady guys with equally shady old barns/sheds out there,

appropriate for some I suppose? LOL

oh damn 750i.... really want one of those...and im coming to auckland in july...must resist

Any interior pics lying around by chance?

Holy sh*t they look AWESOME! Need a new desktop picture...

Supercheap auto have 14" electric fans, like $80-$90 for one or two for $115...

This is going to be awesome, the bar is really being raised with cars in CHCH now, cant wait to see the progress of this

From NZEFI's site

"While we have considerable experience with many different brands of engine management systems, for applications requiring custom tuning using an aftermarket system, we prefer to use one of the following brands:

Link G2/G3/G4 (these are a quantum leap from their old G1 systems)

ViPEC

Motec (not to be confused with Microtech)

HKS F-Con V Pro

Apexi Power FC"

http://www.nzefi.co.nz/services.php

I think Spec performance and RE sinclair have alot of experience with Link aswell, theres a new place called "Racefab.co.nz" i think? he used to work at Spec, Don't know if they do tuning or just fab work,

Thanks for the reply!

yeah supercheap have 2 different weights aswell from what my mate said?, I'm not buying the supercheap one anyway lol I can get better brands cheaper elsewhere luckily

i can get 1000lbs/450kg or a 1500lb from memory, if it weighs in close to 450kg i'll just get the next one up. just wanna know for certain first

after the weight of a M50b25 engine, i'm gonna buy a engine stand but unsure which of the two to get

ohh shiiiizz big pimpin there!

haha lucky you!

Yeah they look the Biz ... fronts have like 5mm clearance on the brakes, had to pull the wheel weights off as the were JUST touching
