  1. DAY IS GOING REAL WELL!!!! :) :)

    It failed again. I'm going down to Uni to upload it on the fibre optics. How hard can it be for Youtube to make a better uploader?!?!?!?!?! Something which you can pause/resume would be nice.


  2. He didn't look that old to me to be honest haha .. but hard to tell at the same time (he was also looking at me and my car, but didn't say hi). Really nice M325i though - the wheels make it stand out.

    Bugger, was hoping it was the ellusive black one. Funny that everyone has been telling me that there's only 1 black one in NZ ... but I've personally seen 2 (one's down in Wellington now)

    Highly recommend buying a CSL if you have the means to - or at least experience one - it's quite an incredible machine like you say.

    If I ever come to Auckland in my car I'd gladly trade you a ride in a tight, fast E30 for a ride in a CSL :D

    Have spent way, way too many hours reseaching what your car can do heh.

    Oh almost forgot! Saw a 911 GT3 RS in Black with Orange wheels/writing parked on the way to pick up my gf from Uni today. Quite awesome.


  3. What colour was the CSL? Trying to track down the other ellusive black one that I know exists, but have no idea where it is at the moment

    It was silver.. I thought there was only 1 black CSL in NZ? You'd know better though, you own one :lol:

    CSL is on the To Buy list once I finish the Eng degree. What an incredible feat of engineering it is. So much respect.


  4. I made the quality even better than before you see. I downloaded the Divx codec and tied it into Vegas. Now I don't have to render in mpg2 then convert to Divx :D

    Uploading is so, so, so slow, must be at 128kbps I think. Still 4 hours away. I'll make sure Firefox doesn't ruin my sh*t this time.


  5. :D

    Well I've managed to get Vegas to save in Divx format, got it down to half of what it was, and great quality too. Really need a better camera though. I'm just using a pointNshoot Olympus 1030SW (the water and shock proof one)

    Uploading now.


  6. Thanks! Will try, and then update. I love dual core processors, renders video so fast.

    Try wmv, Luke got his beast on dyno 5:35 worth of dyno runs getting tuned (jizzzzzzzzz), started out 240mb then he got it down to 14mb to send to me lol.

    The resolution is so sh*t with wmv haha, already tried. Can't see the tacho or any outside features.


  7. It's 400 megs and takes 8 hours to upload haha. Currently saving in a whole range of formats to get a good quality + smaller file size vid.

    Oh and --Sony Vegas > Adobe Premier Pro--

    for the average video editor such as myself.


  8. Bled when I put the suspension back together recently. I would think the master cylinder is going judging by it's softness when the car is off. I hate the linkage in the E30 :(

    Wee update:

    I've said that a Ultimate Summit Rd video was to come. Well it has. It is made and edited and processed. But as it was uploading to youtube last night, Firefox looks like it updated itself and restarted the browser.... So freaking annoying.

    To come later today :)


  9. Sunday is a great day for a drive. Am keen. I work till 4-5am so text at least after 1pm on sunday aha.

    Does your pedal sort of mash in but still work fine? Whenever I drive a newer car the brake pedal is like a brick wall and always end up throwing someones head forward on the first stop haha.


  10. Found out what the 'play in front wheels' was.

    The shock gland nuts were hanging in by 1 or 2 threads on both sides... The actual shock insert was loose inside the strut, and took me 10 seconds with the car on a lift to figure out exactly what the problem was.

    Why are WOF people f**king trusted to inspect cars????? It's a joke.

    And there was no play in rear wheels, solid as a rock. Still have a spongy brake pedal, might have to invest in a new master cylinder. Would love to feel some E30 brake pedals at the meet to see how mine compares. I think it had perfect travel for heel-toe.. And the car stops like a 3 story fall onto concrete. But whatever.

    Dialed out a wee bit of front camber today, and re-re-re-re-re checked all the bolts.

    Do need a Car Lift in my garage when older.

    Then went for a ride with Riley and he turned some spare tires into a couple of chunky, wire edged, slabs of rubber. Pic preview here. Video coming tomorrow most likely :D
