  1. I've got dibs on the diff depending on ratio... what was it in the end? Stock?
  2. He was installing a CF intake in an e92 M3 in the Repco car park? Owning it.
  3. Well hopefully the seats in the car for sale have been done well and last for a long time. They look fantastic.
  4. Fair enough @Olaf, I'm happy with that. Presumably it's leather off and big, big $ to properly restore it though? And @TermiPeteNZ I'm not sure really what they're worth. I personally wouldn't have listed this car for as much as 15-18 but then I was told the other day that I'd be mad to accept less than 20 for mine. That seems an awful lot to me.
  5. Yeah. And it won't be dyed, it will be painted. I can attest that when i got mine in 2001 (?) the leather (Lotus White) looked like that. Little did I know it had been "restored" and a few years later it looked terrible again. And that was on 6 year old seats. These are 23 year old seats! Unless it's new leather they'll look awful again soon. And 18k? Holy crap, what is mine worth???
  6. Lovely car, GLWS! Perhaps you should say test "rides" but I'm pretty certain I wouldn't by a car without driving it myself, you may need to reconsider that condition?
  7. No worries and, yes I should have added that I meant sea freight. I thought You Shop offered sea also but perhaps not. Kiwi Shipping (Mainfreight) screwed up once for me but made it right without argument and have been fine subsequently.
  8. They nice wheels, largely a copy of the BBS RC design. For shipping consider https://www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/youshop or http://www.kiwishipping.co.nz/ - both will be a lot less than $588!
  9. Hmm, does an e36 M3 rack offer you anything? I have one wrapped up in the garage if so, let me know.
  10. Is there anything not epic about this post?
  11. Colin and I were both trying to alert Andy to this thread. He's a moderator here, local to Wellington and can probably provide the recommendation you're looking for. It might pay to send him a PM and ask. My other comment was just to confirm you shouldn't assume it "all" needs to be replaced. I can't see any other helpful information in the thread.
  12. That's awfully "professional" of you Glenn! How pleasant. Jump down off your pedestal and join the rest of us because it must be f'ing lonely in "your" sandpit way up there! You're getting grumpy, you need more social interaction.
  13. No, that's an improper assertion Glenn. Pretty much anybody with rudimentary knowledge and an Internet connection can provide a superficial diagnosis of e3/46 cooling problems. They're so well documented you couldn't avoid the obvious if you tried. We're all trying to help and help doesn't always require a "professional". Not looking for an argument but your position is far too absolute. It's not black and white as you make it out to be.
  14. She asked two questions Glenn.
  15. @_ethrty-Andy_ @MsSpeedFreak - that will depend on the cause. If it was running fine and then started overheating as badly as you describe then it's quite likely a leak of some sorts. How much coolant is in the system now? Assuming a leak it doesn't necessarily mean everything needs to be replaced but unless you know the age and condition of the components then it's a good time/excuse to replace the main parts. Parts to consider are: Radiator, Water pump, Thermostat, Thermostat housing, Expansion tank, Coolant level sensor, Hoses Somewhat related: Belts, Tensioners, Pulleys
  16. And it's a $1 reserve classified listing, not an auction. How does that work? Edit: Odd, I see it's a classified that links to an auction: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1245936823
  17. 3 km's and 5 min's which is bliss in Auckland. Just purchased a bicycle. Used to be 21 km's and 50 mins... :-/
  18. What was the problem in the end?
  19. Thanks dude. Smith & Smith want $275 for remove and replace which seems like an utter rip-off to me, for crying out loud it can't take more than 60 mins can it? What's their hourly rate!?! Novas and Auto-Glass can't give me a quote on the weekend but I will try them again on Monday. But really, unless I can get a quote closer to half of the S&S cost (which is unlikely it seems) then it's not worth if for me. Heck, even at a total cost of $350 I'll be considering it very carefully. Will let you know but don't hold it on my account if you have interest from elsewhere.
  20. Correct and sweet, do let me know, cheers.
