    Cameron v. Tua

    Cameron will be in the condition of his life whereas Tua has dropped masses of weight in a short space of time and hasnt fought for ages. If Cameron is smart, keeping Tua at arms length (as Lennox Lewis did) and doesnt get drawn into a brawl I think he will win comfotably. But if Tua finds the old magic he could end it in one punch. Cameron has everything to lose and Tua nothing.
  2. Looking very good Nathan, cant wait to see it when its all back together again. That spoiler looks the nuts.
  3. Ive been using it for months on my work laptop and love it. The best thing for me by far is the taskbar. Ive got my most used items on there and I love being able to drag files on it so they appear first in the drop list of selections. I cant remember the last time I opened the start menu, or opened a blank explorer window to navigate through my folders. The only problem Ive got is chrome keeps opening at the top right corner and I have my taskbar across the top so chrome always opens behind it. Ive tried everything to change it but no dice
  4. I think you should stop picking on people and keep it on topic for a change.If this thread isnt for you, stay out of it.
  5. Perhaps I shouldve prefaced the 'grumpy' with 'old' to distinguish the pair of us, although that doesnt narrow it down for you old fellas much does it ?
  6. Thats a good point, remind me not to invite the grumpy one.
  7. WTF !?! The rules are either photos and price or a link to an auction. Ive put up the link and updated the auction this morning just like I said I would. Some people need to get out more !
  8. I love the rusted bonnet and bootlid look, but think the all over look is just a little too much. Its definitely something I would consider doing myself if I had a half dead e28 lying about the place
  9. Thanks for the free bumps you guys
  10. Something else to remember for Dutchy is that he is only around a computer on the weekends and if you need to get hold of him during the week then you really do need to call him on his mobile because he wont be seeing any PM's
  11. Im liking the lack of a rear spoiler there Matty. Im surprised how much different it looks even without just the standard lip back there. Nice work.
  12. Got one of these sitting around doing nothing too. Visit My Website Always happy to accept offers from bimmersporters
  13. Got some of these to go aswell, help me fund the 'is' resto. Visit My Website
  14. Another satisifed 'customer' here. Met Dutchy this afternoon to collect some tyres. He's a top bloke with a genuine interest in helping people out. Thanks Hans, will be in touch later about getting some tyres to Napier
  15. Read the ammendment fellas and get off your soap boxes
  16. I wouldnt necessarily call it criticism, its just not the taste of most of us on here thats all. If you like it, do it.
  17. Its laughable really.....sorry mate but you did ask....however its your car so you do want you want. You'd be better off spending the money to sort out the horrible kerb rash on the wheels before the graphics. I always think you need to have everything mint if your going to draw attention to yourself like that.
  18. Nice job Nick. Cant wait to see all of it in the car.
  19. Huge earthquake in Samoa this morning and civil defence in NZ is warning of a tsunami on the east coast in around an hours time. Early indications are that it will be 1.5 metres high so hardly catastrophic but a warning none the less. How far up is your new house Simon
  20. Thought about it already mate. Dutchy is getting a set of rims down here for me this week and Im more than happy to get the tyres to him to get to you aswell
  21. Im playing devils advocate here but bhp isnt everything though is it? I remember reading about a tracked out 318is that does the Nurbergring in just over 8mins simply because it can go flat out through the entire track.

    Noisy cams

    Yeah, thats what Ive figured Glenn after reading what I can find on the web. Too many variables so probably worth just taking in to see what can be done. Thanks mate.

    Noisy cams

    Thanks Glenn, Im aware this is pretty much a stupid question as its all a matter of interpretation on the noises being made. The first person who mentioned it is someone who is after my money and has said the same about all three e30's Ive taken in there. I know its common but I surely cant have had three noisy engines ! Im just after a bit more information about what to listen for really as this is something I know nothing about. So Im greatfull for any pointers. You also have to remember Ive been driving v12 and v8's for the last ten years or so and so the 'is' already sounds like a sewing machine to me. Basically when it starts up from cold it sounds like a tractor. There is a knocking/clatter/tapping sound thats not fast but a perhaps a couple of taps a second. It doesnt appear to change much but it does appear to quieten down when the engine is warm. Its due for a service, so Im planning on doing that sooner rather than later. Ive read a bit about the m42 and the noises it can make and have also read they do make noise especially when cold. The chain tensioner seems to be a simple fix to try first, but Im not really into trial and error if I can help it. Its also a little shaky on idle to start with but is fine when warm. The other thing Ive noticed recently is when in the car there is a sound a little like marbles being swirled around a metal bowl. Sort of a constant swooshing sound, almost like the sound you get when a stone is lodged in the brakes, so Ill get the wheels off this weekend and have a look around there too. I hate it when you hear sounds your not used to. Its fine when youe in a car you know, but when you dont know it all sorts of things come into your head !
