She kept it secret for 5 months yeah hahaha. Cheeky bitch

Ohhhhhh thanks lads.

Do a feint? Will do

And: my girlfriend > your girlfriend. Look what she got me. To go on my M3 (one day), the M325i will have to do for now ahaha

All the cars look fantastic except for the Sauber. Hideous.

Another season will soon be upon us, I'll be doing a nice little article about it on AutomotiveAxis if anyone is interested. Might do it tonight.

But on a much better note. I'm f**king going to the Melbourne GP c**ts. HAHAHA!

Won free tickets to Aus last month, and buying tickets to the Sunday Race once Studylink hits me with dosh.

It says he was going about 88miles/hr when he hit that beam, it's a shame he wasn't in a DeLoren.. then he could have gone back in time and taken up a different sport!!

Absolutely - got no complaints here! Just thought as an added option, because you're selling them, a variety of angles would be nice. I know we're often limited by lenses. Are there any marshalls, or safety towers at Ruapuna?

There were a few towers out there, 2 in total, plus the starters box, but all were quite far back for TV cameras (so they don't get bowled over if a car comes off the track I presume hah) Too far back for the zoom I had sadly.

Tried to hire a lens but A. Would have been another large expense, and B. Every Lens in Chch was hired out because of the Coast to Coast ha

That shot of you lifting the inside front wheel is for the win! It's come out very crisp. And a A1 Size of pic 1 would look lovely on the garage wall...

The shots are for selling, for people to showcase there cars in their homes, so the main idea was to get their face and their car looking pounced, I was aiming just to try and get it in focus with the horrible lens I was using hahaha.

I want to see if anyone actually does haha!

All taken with the slow (f/5.6) 75-300mm non-IS plastic Kit lens and a 450D. I'm happy with the results actually for once haha.

Yeah that's my gf of 2 years. Highly 'entertaining'

Oh and no 180SX, just the 15 with awesomecrazy body roll haha

Look for Jason getting on 3 wheels!! (picture no. 132)

Was incredibly fun getting out in the middle of a racetrack today, running over the track between GTR's and 911's.

I sure can help, still waiting on a nice day here in shitschurch..

Sounds much better with the air filter taken out doesn't it?

And that's a very nice pointnshoot, 600 bucks worth ha, lots and lots of zipties and blutac

Damn, quite a process, looks just like a non-sunroof E30 (which is how the M325i's should have come....)

Few more pics of the sunroof, I blasted it all around the edges and there is one leak through a bolt hole, will pull the bolt and gum it up with silicone again

View from below. I will be getting some meshy fabric and maybe sewing it/gluing it to the headliner that remains to cover the panel from the inside and darken it up a little more, it's not as dark as I hoped, but it was cheap as f**k. Plus it'll finally make the headliner look complete again and stop it rubbing on my head.

View from the outside, very dark when there is no light behind it..

And from the inside, very clear sunglasses-like view, could be darker for the hotter days...

And some bonus pics:

Me and a CSL (yes, of course I kept up), rest can be seen here, and other stories of awesome car stuff. Bookmark it. http://www.automotiveaxis.com/2010/01/sund...ut-in-the-bmws/

And like I said, I was gunning for Driver of Year back at the trackday back just before Xmas:

Carbon would have been cool, but fi-glass was 300 bucks to get it moulded in the sunroof shape, so CF would surely be quite excessive. A flat panel of it would def be cheaper, bolted on as I have done, but it's pretty sweet being able to see up..

Ha sorry Atta, I was thinking of you, but it wasn't good to use anyway, as you can see on the right it was rusty from way back.

Might trade for nice 7 iron, I umm lost mine..

May as well keep this updated, gives people hope in human kind to have E30's like this going under the long term knife.

Dark tinted Polycarbonate 4.5mm panel, cut, shaped, drilled, radius-ed, and edge polished: $70.

18 of M4x16mm Stainless Steel bolts, nyloc nuts and washers: $35.

Bostic -Neutral Cure- Silicone: $9. (polycarb gets eaten away by standard clear silicone)

No more damn water leaks, looks f**king 'full raze' as, trees going overhead look surreal, saved another 6kg from the roof. Win, win and win.

In Lachsillber, pretty good condition, had a really quick look at it and couldn't really find too much wrong with it. Good to replace your rusty sunroof.

$110

An 18 year old is in the prime of his risk taking life, his circle of risk taking friends has developed, and he has been watching 'sick drifting' videos for a few years now. That is a recipie for death. Driving age is perfect where it is. Teach them how cars work before the prime of death defying stunt makings. Of course more driver training, skid control, practical xp blah blah blah.

Yes. Sigh. Tis a way of life though. The man has made it illegal, so even if you take proper precautions it's still illegal. Hence my excitment for trackdays now (next one on tuesday eeeeeeeeeeee!) Might just have to stop the promotion. Life was so much better doing this in the south of hawkes bay, on a farm, with nothing to worry about.

It's a shame no actual proper diesel skidder style boy racers use forums, I can't imagine the flameage!!

All you find on the internet, esp gamer forums, is haters. THERES NO WAY SOMEONE CAN BE GOOD AT SOMETHING OTHER THAN COUNTERSTRIKE!

Now that's a confusing situation. I must have had a post from another thread quoted, and deleted the wrong name! They stack up like that when you make the quote button red. You probably know this

har har har

And Henry I only just remembered the comment I wanted to make regarding your coilovers. (in the process of finishing off reading the thread i forgot it!)

I gather you re now happy with how they are, but regarding the inserts. GC doesn't actually shorten E30 inserts. What they have done is found a VW insert that is 5" shorter in the body length, hence the spacer you get. This allows you to seriously lower your E30, and by cutting your strut tubes and spacer to suit you still maintain a decent mount of shock travel. Some people are cutting up to 3" out of their strut tubes!

Because it is a VW insert, GC get them custom valved for E30/your chosen spring rates.

I myself am currently using vb-vk commodore inserts in the front of the race car. These are 30mm shorter in the body length and obviously valved much stiffer (for the heavier commodore). I only have plain gas inserts (cheap as), but even with the commodore valving they are under damped (I'm runnign 300lbs/in springs in the front). I will eventually be getting the custom inserts off GC and cutting my strut tubes shorter still as I only have around 75mm travel (- bump stop length) at my current ride height and I want to go lower.

So there you are, some more informations

Hmm yes, I thought they shortened the travel of the stauchion, and had done it too much for my setup, but realised it would work fine if the perch was lower down the strut.. Those shock bodies sure are short! I would never dream of cutting 3 inches out of the strut.. Well, maybe on a track specific car, maybe.

I don't have much travel minus the bump stop too..(depends on if the adjusters are up or down though) but I hardly feel the bumpstops on the lowest setting, The spring rates and the valving just work oh so well to control the wheel movement
