  1. a bit of an amateur driver from the looks of it. looks like he kept gassing on wet grass and track and his counter steer was so slow and not enough. on the article too, it said he used SUV tyres??
  2. at the end. the whole car looks twisted. or did the camera slant?

    Sales rant

    ^ as above, that graph is basic at most giving a picture of a scenario where everything else is held equal (ceteris paribus), market forces will determine demand, supply, price, quantity and equilibrium. it does not account for external factors that could directly affect supply and demand. i.e. marketing, sales rep etc... LOL i just remember this was an exam question at Auckland Uni economics 101.

    Sales rant

    economics 101. if demand for goods go up, prices and equilibrium SHOULD go up. vice versa when demand goes down. oh and chart does make sense have seen so many car listings on trademe "in a hurry to sell" with listing price similar to those not in a hurry to sell and when you ask them a question on what their bottom price is, its only a few hundred hundred of listed price $:|
  5. can i get a higher voltage but same capacitance replacement? or same voltage and higher capacitance?

    i think he was garaged all that time with the car. don't know what year it is atm
  10. So much barnyard cars in NZ!!.. well not so much as barnyard.. more like collections, just look at concourse!! damn... probably something like that red e30 m3 in europe that only had like 22 miles on it since new?? IIRC he was suppose to give it to his son. but ended up being forgotten about in the garage??
  11. damn.. nz schooling needs a revamp... i swear, i got a headache reading his replies to comments.
  12. ^^ LOL. i've seen so many cars that sell in conditions similar to that. then after a few months it's back on tardme on airbags, chrome wheels, never seen maintenance ever again, destroyed interior etc.. really heart breaking.
  13. haha 2 grand!!! just for the engine. probably did not even strengthen the internals and just bolted on the turbo. "this is the only orginal b.m.w turbo motor ive ever seen in my life" - the car is most likely older than him
  14. that's guts bro. hope you guys find them. insurance not covering it? have had 2 robberies at my neighbourhood in the past 2 months!!. first was the elderly asian couple across the street. robbed in mid day while they were sleeping. they stole jewelries and such. 2nd one their car was stolen. found in otahuhu on blocks. been parking my cars farther into the driveway now. peak time in thieves huh.. oh and with that much tyres i would call storage places and give them a heads up. the thieves are likely to need storage for all those tyres.
  15. just changed mine last year. blower blows stronger now

    Quick Questions

    on ignition on the 740 i just noticed last week that the oil light sometimes dont light especially on cold starts, and sometimes it does (ignition 2). oil level is good and no leaks. anyone know what it could be? oil pump going kaput? it has done 265ks
  17. lol lazyness can end you up 4 steps backwards
  18. 19 mil for this.. damn honda really pushing their marketing huh. superball advert
  19. rear bumper been trimmed?
  20. the main belt pulley on my m50 screeched like that when it was buggered it would not spin at all. but it was continuous. try and use a long ratchet extension and place it on the top main belt pulley and put your ear on the extension. you should be able to hear it from the extension if its vibrating abnormally or making a noise from the pulley. be careful not to hit any moving parts and not wear loose clothing.
  21. hehe 7 series track car !!! haven't seen one of those before
  22. ^^ haha aren't the older f1 cars faster than today's f1? emissions, regulations and the flat bottom thing?
  23. you can get the bushing from forum sponsor gavin: Opening Hours 8.00 am to 5.30 pm Monday to Friday Ph: (09) 444 9817 Fax: (09) 444 4755 Email: [email protected] Address 15 C Saturn Place (off Paul Matthews Rd) North Harbour Albany Auckland its not as hard as it looks. but you will need to take it into a mechanic to get the old bushings out and the new bushing pressed in. or spend hours trying to DIY it. cost me 50 bucks.
