See what you can find Brent. Pm me with a price. or is it cheaper to buy the entire car?

I want to buy a set of E31 seats, anybody have any ideas? Buy a whole car? I'd prefer not to dismantle one of these just for the front seats. Thoughts/suggestions? Oversea's wreckers/contacts anyone?

A good ole e34.

I know I'm still proud of myself for doing it I will be transferring that alarm to my replacement car when I can be bothered swapping everything over to the new body. I'll have to change the locks and ignition though because neither drivers or passengers doors will do the manual key unlock for some reason.

Funny as it may sound... yes it did happen I even have a spare key hidden INSIDE that particular car now.

I could never let anybody else service my babies, who knows what they'd do to them

I have been in a worse situation than being locked out of my car. I Locked myself in my car. My alarm deadlocks the doors and when set off or armed, unarmed and armed again within 30seconds it sets off the panic and disables the remote (for 3 minutes - I discovered this months later). I got into my car in an underground car park and sat on the remote and armed it again, so went to unarm it again and it set off the panic jamming me in and I couldnt unlock the doors manually or via the remote. So I sat there setting the alarm off every time I moved, and decided to put the key in the ignition, woohoo I had power but no start as to be expected but I could wind the window down. So I decided to try and unlock using the discussed manual key method, but as soon as I took the key out of the ignition the windows would wind up. So I wound them all down which would give me more time to complete the unlock procedure as the sunroof closes first and then the passenger side windows and then the drivers side windows. But I didn't get it unlocked in time and my car was trying to chop my arm off with the window, and I dropped the keys outside the car trying to get my arm out\in?? of the window. So I sat in my car, the alarm blaring, getting deafened feeling like chopper of the century and ate my chocolate bar and sulked. The parking booth lady came over about 10 minutes later as I was parked near the door and the alarm kept going off. I had to explain the key unlock procedure to her and I finally escaped. I've managed to do this a couple of times since and have wound the windows down, climbed out of the window and then taken the key out of the ignition and quietly chuckled when the windows wind up and then unlock it to get back in, I do get strange looks when I perform this procedure.

I've lost count of how many times I've seen this happen and had to replace windows, door handles, locks, front grilles, petrol flaps????, and even entire doors. Glenn is spot on as usual. There is a manual lock release when dead bolted and you have a flat battery. Follow his instructions. Although I have had a few which it didn't work on, sometimes the passenger side will work if the drivers side doesn't. Failing that the option of jumping off the starter motor is the next best. Good luck

Can you still get out of the car if the gas strut gives out?? I don't think I would be able to lift the door if I was ever forced to ride at gun point in a car with those doors. I hope they'd supply me with a mask or paper bag at least to put over my head so nobody would recognize me. I'd prefer a full Spiderman mask if I could choose

My initial thoughts would be that someone may have taken the thermostat out to try correct an overheating issue, or it has failed and jammed open. I would also suspect you would be using more petrol than you should. My bet would be to replace the thermostat.

Yeah the autobid does some crazy things with price jumps. I have sold a few cars on $1 reserve auctions and I had one guy wanting to pay in installments even though the auction Clearly had the car must be paid for and off my property within 3 days due to no space to store it. I now remove bidders who i'm not happy with on my auctions. I don't believe in the authenticated users option as there are still some genuine bidders out there. I always ask them to contact me by phone before the end of the auction if they want to bid or they will be removed. I havn't had to relist since my new policy

I'll stick to shooting possums and driving with my doors locked. I would rather dents, theyre fixable. I don't imagine it would be too much fun locked inside. I wouldnt be able to play with cars in a cell. If society gets too unbearable I will take on a life out at sea. hrmmm Waterworld I could make a floating fortress clad with e34 panels. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight. Now what would my engine choice be....

I got carjacked back in Jan, A BIG islander jumped in my car hassled me a bit with another big fella blocking me in my carpark in their car so i couldnt escape, police caught them in the end. I got their rego number and the dumbasses used their own car.. they were already up on similar charges, been in custody since. He gave a full video confession. Many visits from the police later the tossers defence lawyer wants me to go to court. What for?? I do not know he has confessed to everything on video. My last visit from the police the cop said I would have done the world a big favour if I had just run the boonga over. Next time I think I may. If I end up in court over it Ill tell them that the police man told me I would be doing the world a favour.

I want a pet monkey.

Haha I got a perm a couple of years ago. I say silly things when I get drunk and had to follow through.. It was stupendous. HEINOUS. It was grand I went to work and got sent home then off on holiday for 2 weeks to let my lovely locks grow some more. The 2 week mark came and god damn i was happy to shave my head even though it was the middle of winter in Chch.

Who likes Mr Clarks new Helenstein look?? All she needs is a bolt through the neck

I want to see the roof come flying off one of these at full speed. Oh fiddlesticks, I want one.

Any body out there preferably in the Auckland region have an old unusable Getrag 260/5 gearbox sitting round taking up space? I'm wanting to disassemble one which is beyond repair to see what goes on inside one of these. I'd rather pull apart a completely rooted one and try to get it back together than using a good one and not being able to get it back together. The best way to learn and appreciate things, pull it apart and put it back together a few times. It should be compulsory for everyone to pull their engines apart and put them back together before they are allowed to drive on the road If anyone is willing to donate one of these boxes you can have it back once i've pulled it apart and take the bits and pieces to the scrap metal man. Surely one of you race boys have one of these lying around somewhere?

I found Lance Walsh at Freelance Automotive really good to deal with, very helpful will be off back to see him in a few weeks for some more advice on one of my projects. Good chap.

out of curiosity do you know which rocker is broken?

Firestone out by the Auckland Airport change them for $10/tyre

Theres one of these down the road from you being eaten by mice in an old hangar, Along with a ferrari 365gtb, a couple of daimlers, A lancia of some description, a couple of gti golfs, Audi quattro gt, and quite a few others. I do hope he has invested in some rodent control, burning looms werent good.

This was almost better than the womans day. Wonder how that 8 is getting on... some one buy it for parts and give me the front seats.

Yes exactly, My opinion of the police after that encounter, was that they are all a pack of A holes, But I soon found out there are some very good cops aswell. I still have high praise and respect for the Police.

I find it invigorating. typing is so easy. the hard part is trying to stop. My ACC days are numbered now. I have to live the rest of my life as an invalid, so god help anyone who takes my special carpark. Heres looking at QuickSilver. with my two eyeballs. I can see you with both of them even the one looking to the left.
