Sorry Gus, think it's going south, it's under offer.

Hi Luke, IMO, I would've thought you'd be much better off selling the 318 and buying a 325. Can't see Mosen's being cheap, and it's not that simple? The 325 setup is very different, from suspension and swaybars front and back, to extra options etc, right the way thru. You get more bang for your buck out of a reasonable 325, so I'd say, get looking. Just my 2cents worth before you chuck dad's cash away.

I've come across a used 318is front lip which I don't need. Will let it go for best offer over $120, pm if interested. Needs clean and paint, couple of small pieces inside broken, but nothing on the outside, and will fit fine.

Sure Conrad, and if it wasn't ugly and did wear lipstick?

Hi, import level last I knew was $400. Below that no duty or GST, above that you have to go thru an import agent, and fees, GST and Duty if applicable, apply.

Hi, I've got the auto box, do you need the torque converter etc? Out of working car, pulled out yesterday. Do you have the rest of the conversion bits by any chance?

pack it back here Gus, I'll look after it for you. Get back and it might be caged and going around the track?

Happy birthday Rog, Hope Taupo's treating you well and the Nissan's still going

Welcome, pics please

Find out what make the hard drive is and get their drive format and rescue program. You should then be able to start from scratch again.

We have red ebc's in one car, but at 4 x the cost, they don't seem that much better? In saying that, they do stop the car slightly better I think, but hard to really measure.

Happy birthday The Gus, have a couple for me.

I guess Ken's topic on hobies started this. Guess I'd rather collect cars than stack mugs. Is it possible to have too many, and is it unhealthy to have too many? I'm starting to get funny looks when people ask how many Bmw's I have and I have to admit to having just bought number 16. It's a very tidy looking white 4 door manual 318i, 1988, sorry Andy. I still have 13 of them in the family, 1 x 323, 2 x 320's, and 10 x 318i facelifts, 7 of which are manuals, and 3 are race cars.

Yeah, I'm with you Gus, we have race pads on one car and std BMW on the other, both E30 318's, and don't feel a lot of difference to be honest. Maybe to do with the cars being reasonably light, and having pretty efficient brakes anyway?

Short answer, no.

Depends on diff, if 4.1 then about $400 maybe, if not 4.1 then maybe $200 if lucky, not much demand for 4 doors.

You gotta be kidding

Nah, E30 fit, 4x100.

Such words of wisdom, a pity others don't always recognise this. Good on ya

Am I missing something, or don't you just use the m20, engine, loom and ecu and remove the full 318 setup?

I think it's a bit of pen-'is' envy or compensation?

You get it back when you turn 65. Only exceptions are for first home, leaving the country permanently, and dire emergencies, whatever they are. It's free money, go for it.

Just up the road then and so do I.

Might be some hope yet then?

Hey, cut it out and behave you 2 young whipper snappers.
