Awesome, thanks guys. Shall give this a nudge on Saturday aka National Crate day

Sounds hot. If that is the driveway you have to navigate each day then I wouldn't bother lowering it anymore. Looks like a struggle as it is.

That same trucker has got me everytime I head up the coast to Picton/Nelson or back down to Christchurch in the last 2 years. Car looks great, just needs more litre-age and cylinders

That would be great, thanks. Removal won't be an issue as they smashed it with a rock and there is none of it left. Installing the new one is more what I'm after.

So some lil f*cker broke into my flatmates rear 3/4 window last night and stole his shoes, wallet and hat from the back seat. How hard are these to replace? And has anyone got a spare drivers side window?

Someone buy my e30, I NEED that interior!

Do it! Its a great trip and there is no other way to get to know the car.

As above, twin pipe system from my old 325i. It's not in the greatest condition and has some rust. Come and grab it for a box of beer otherwise it's off to the scrap yard at the weekend. Once I locate my USB cord I'll chuck up a photo.

Now that I have picked up and e36 328i I can't afford or have the time to continue on with the e30. I haven't touched it since picking it up off Mark 2 months ago apart from getting a fresh Wof and rego. Cut and paste from Marks ad cuz I'm lazy. For a cert it would probably need a few bits and pieces, but possibly the only thing it would need is the ABS pump removing which isn't a big job. The reason it needs removing is because when I got the car the ABS was not working, then I swapped the struts out and the replacement struts were not ABS ones. The brakes work fine with the ABS pump still in there but it would need removing for a cert and replacing with non-abs brake lines. Not difficult. Car is lowered on shortened monroe shocks and some red springs of some kind. The front guards could do with rolling, full lock going up curbs can make 'em rub. Car has a decent stereo and speakers. The heater isn't hooked up but isn't a big job, just need to remove the inlet manifold and do some minor plumbing. It has a recaro seat out of an Evo or something, probably needs certing as well. I have some factory recaro's if the buyer wants those instead but driver's side does have a rip in it. The rust on the boot and in the sunroof are still there and aren't getting any worse since Mark's repair job. I also have an LSD (not sure what ratio but will check) which the buy will have first option to purchase. Currently the electric fan has stopped working, I hope it is just a fuse but will get that sorted for the buyer and repair/replace the windscreen as I got a crack in it on the way back from Wellington. I'll get some current photos up when I can find my USB cord but here are some from Mark's for sale thread. Only looking for what I paid, $4k firm

An old married couple no sooner hit the pillows when the old man passes wind and says, Six Points.' His wife rolls over and says, 'What in the world was that?' The old man replied, 'its fart football.' A few minutes later his wife lets one go and says A Goal - tied score.' After about five minutes the old man lets another one go and says, 'Aha. I'm ahead 12 points to 6.' Not to be outdone, the wife rips out another one and says, 'Another Goal - tied score.' Five seconds go by and she lets out a little squeaker and says, 'Rushed behind, I lead 13 points to 12.' Now the pressure is on the old man. He refuses to get beaten by a woman, so he strains really hard. Since defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he's got and accidentally shits in the bed. The wife says, 'What the hell was that?' The old man says, 'Half time, switch sides!'

little boy comes down to breakfast. Since they live on a farm, his mother asks if he had done his chores. "Not yet," said the little boy. His mother tells him no breakfast until he does his chores. Well, he's a little pissed off, so he goes to feed the chickens, and he kicks a chicken. He goes to feed the cows, and he kicks a cow. He goes to feed the pigs, and he kicks a pig. He goes back in for breakfast and his mother gives him a bowl of dry cereal. "How come I don't get any eggs and bacon? Why don't I have any milk in my cereal?" he asks. "Well," his mother says, "I saw you kick a chicken, so you don't get any eggs for a week. I saw you kick the pig, so you don't get any bacon for a week either. I saw you kick the cow so for a week you aren't getting any milk." Just then, his father comes down for breakfast and kicks the cat halfway across the kitchen. The little boy looks up at his mother with a smile, and says, "You gonna tell him or should I?"

I'm going to go against it and dislike the white walls. Makes the wheels look too big but it's not my car anymore. Making good use of the day off huh

Swapped one for another one. Still got two though.....

This. My friend got pulled up driving home from getting a cert to fix it and he is still fighting it 2 months later $200

IIRC, both of those were quite rough hence why they seemed cheap to buy.

Work car failed on lack of rubber/broken rubber. Don't see why it would fail with skateboard tape as the idea of the rubber is to stop slipping and as long as it does the job. But then again, I'm not a WOF inspector

Yea State hate mods. Put some 18inch rims and a stereo in my 318i and they terminated my insurance. As Hans said earlier, best bet is a broker.

It is sweet videos like that make me miss my 200sx more and more. Bloody thieves.

I'd want the 17x9's all around. Apart from the performance reasons, I never found the appeal in stagged wheels, just looks weird.

Thought about putting them on hinges so you still open the bonnet? As long as the spots are yellow, it will look tough as. Compuslary night pic.

Work rims are so much win on any car but that is perfection.

Hey Brad, Have a read through this thread here to see what MLM is doing to get his ITB's done and running properly. And he isn't expect any performance gains yet look at all the trouble he is going to as he doesn't want to ruin his engine. http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=28044 One of the most important parts on a car is the ECU and if you make any performance mod's you will want to update the ECU to match the mods and to get the most out of them. As send before, it won't run on your standard ECU so go aftermarker first, then the ITB. Do it once, do it properly.

Yea I read that the other day. I can see his point however no need to go to the media with it. Take it up with the Production company and let them sort it out as the agreement was between BMW and the production company.

This. Got all my stuff with them and the flat account and no issues at all. Don't go to a branch at all so don't need customer service. The Internet is the only service I need.
