318isCoupe

Isn't that what happens the day after you drink a case of bourbons?

Do it to the Z3 and I'll buy you a case of bourbon and cola's.

Haha I thought I'd heard a few angry M20's coming up. Our driveways a bit of a prick too, took the front bumper off my old 318iS once. Good luck getting the 325 back on the road.

I'm pretty much stuck at home for the next 2 and a half months so if you're ever keen for a few beers (or whatever you're into) and some bimmer chat chuck me a text. I'll PM you my number. Chances are I've seen your 325 around

I've seen them at Repco here in Tauranga, pretty common with altezza-style tail lights.

Probably not over the phone (no more than a decent alarm anyway), its always best to go in and discuss insurance face to face.

Hey dude, yeah out at Pahoia, esdailes road. Starting at Whakamarama caltex... the back road Old Highway Road -> Esdailes Road -> Wainui South Road is probably some of the best driving around. So is the road up the Minden at Te Puna, we're lucky out these ways!

I'd be happy if it only cost me $70 to fill a tank. $2.05 or some rubbish for 98 at BP Te Puna last night, see its dropped back down a bit this morning.

Not sure of any tyre places, but the fiance and I are down next weekend so if you get it fixed feel free to come for a thrash over the rimutaka's.

Those curvy looking things that walk the 325 but are fun to chase in the M3

Whoops, sorry mate hadn't noticed that I wasn't on the first page!

So if the computer calls foul it could just be Link swap and you're away. Still sounds like a pretty decent buy to me.

Haha I hear they're like an MR2 on crack.. I wouldn't wanna touch one in the wet. Actually thats rubbish, any excuse, any time.. I'd love to drive one.

Hmm.. could be legit I guess? they're pretty light in the front but I haven't heard of anyone filling bumpers with lead! Apparently those early Turbo's are one of the scariest street cars to drive

I'd imagine a 944/928/924 would be reasonable, I know a fair few people that have had 944's and they've been reasonably reliable for them. I think a later 911 would be a fair bit more difficult, my old man barely did any work to his by himself (although he'd serviced the jag he had before it). Haven't personally had anything to do with early 911's although they're my favourite.. so I can't really comment. Parts cost I'm not too sure, I'd imagine something similar to M-car prices as mentioned above.

E36? manual 3.0? photo's?

Quoted 6.5k for a headgasket on a 944 turbo, old mans 79 911SC was 3k for the clutch and install. Depends on who you know and how much of the work you can do yourself I guess. I think I could have halved the price on the headgasket job but still wasn't worth it for the car.

Tardme http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-140620896.htm This would be a good buy if its not thrashed http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-150389878.htm

Either factory or option three somewhere stealth.

Heck, you'd barely get a 2 room shack for that in Tauranga.

TSU makes turbos for IHI I think, that turbo's going on a new series of 8000TEU container ships made by IHIMU in japan anyway. Flow rate of 55 cubic metres/second

+1

Looks like a monster of a heavy duty bypass valve

I was tempted by a 944 turbo manual not long back, and by a 5.0 928.. mmm 288hp. I don't think it would make a very good daily driver though.

That is going to sound AMAZING. hope you're getting a ride! hook us up with some video's and photo's of the finished project!
