jpp

Would love to hear that grumble.

^^ Yup, go the individual kits. Dependant on your taste, go black tho imo

Don't buy Repco paint, crap mostly. Mitre10 or a paintshop, pay for what you get there. Ensure you primer otherwise will come out poorly, won't stick etc...

Let me know how you go, I'll deff. give it a go in the next few weeks!

Also... Got any shots?

the angel eyes look sik on e30's well worth the money.

i was really happy with mine

if i had known earlier i wouldve put my car in as a bimmersport car but yea... i have already entered

mine is a 88 so looks like im out of the early catagory lol

just hope mine is finished in time or else its gonna look kinda weird haha

I'll go just to see your car. Baaad

Polished or black imo

Er, I'd say its just a bug that TM haven't announced yet in Community section.

Seems to work for me as per usual;

Trade Me Motors > Car parts & accessories > BMW (898)

For me atm. Maybe you searched your local parts only?

gotta love old pics of my cars bottlecaps on my first car, basketweaves on my latest.

How much are you after, esp. the weaves?

By a set you mean 5?

Any cheaper without the tyres?

When would you want them gone by (and paid)?

um not to sure on the clutch havnt cracked the motor and box and i dnt want to much realy

Are you in Aucks? Any idea of mileage?

Why bother? a black headliner is A) hard to find, and a right c**t to replace properly, both the front and rear screens need to come out.

By black to you mean its the same fabric as normal headliners but its black? One could therefore stain their light coloured headliner black, possibly even keeping it in the roof?

Classic.

pics?

haha, sorry but I had to laugh.

I would enquire with a locksmith about getting the key removed from the lock and him breaking into your car. With the key removed and the rest of the key, it is possible, but difficult to just get a replacement cut -- which would save getting new locks put in.

As for the battery and central locking, unsure.

Sweet cheers guys.

Have already checked fuses and bulbs. Will invest in a multimeter as I broke my other one. The plugs for eletrical things I've found are very fragile.

Just failed my WOF,

1989 320i f/l e30;

inner and outer steering rods have play,

my fogs lights will not work,

high mounted stop light not working;

For the rods, anyone know how much to repair? Is it a tweek or a new one to be put on?

And the fogs, before I went I checked the bulbs as they weren't going, they were fine. So would is the next best option the wiring is shot? Is it possible to re-wire a new circuit or shall I just look for the break?

The brake light has just stopped working. I didn't even realise. Its a hella one, any likely cause as to this?

Cheers for your help in advance,

Jared.

Yeah bro, all part of growing up as a car owner.

Some tips if you have audio, then park for long public spaces;

Don't pump it loud just before or when you park.

Don't open your boot so anyone can see in it.

Ensure the audio or valubles can't be seen from outside of the car.

Make sure the car has some deterrant such as alarm or parked next to many passerbyers.

etc...

Good stuff.

Unsure if there is a difference in motors per door, but require one for the rear right door, e30 1989 f/l.

Offers please, I'm in Auckland and will pick-up.

Am also keeping an eye open for some cheap good cond. [any colour] door cards 4dr & dash. Will also need a manualconversion kit or some good cheap parts towards one. PM or post here with some contact details.

edit; Also after some f/l tails [prefer just the lenses] and the side repeaters + euro plate black plastic insert thingie for the rear boot. Can swap with my other Jap one.

super cheap Wairau rd wanted $150 for one last week, obviously I didn't get it. Repco have a deal at the moment of a free boss kit with a $99 steering wheel, you have to redeem a voucher I think, but got to be a good deal.

And get trade disc. on top?

As long as it doesn't end like Lost I'll follow it. Inside to a holly-world I hope I won't experience

Someone above said that a higher number also results in less fuel consumption? [taken out of context i know]

Could someone please elaborate on this... how much ratio difference are we talking? [as i'm on a tight budget heh]

Hey thanks, completely forgot about searching the door. Duhh.

Ah, so its still a legal requirement to have a secondary brake light in the centre of the car?

I have an e30, haven't seen any. Wouldn't mind cutting up an aftermarket spoiler, see how it goes?

Guess I could talk to a WOF person eh'?

Mmm, thought so.

Several here on TM -- Gonna install yourself? Seems that people are liking some 'How To's' write-ups, give it a go!

Sorry tad off-topic, but my e30 has an aftermarket keyless entry alarm but the fuel door can still be opened armed or not and can therefore be sucked dry. I'm not wishing to add keys onto my ring [such as a cap lockable thing] but would perfer a locking mechanism on the door that unlocks with alarm. Easy to do?
