    Quick rant thread.

    I once spent about 4 hours getting from Glenfeild to Meremere..... There weren't many cars leaving the "carpark" in Glenfield, but there were a LOT trying to get INTO Meremere We actually parked on SH1 for a while, just north of Huntly - I seem to recall people having lunch on the roadside.
  2. It's prolly gaone, or poked anyway...
  3. Did anyone check ther Ski Flap cover for me :-) ???
  4. Clean out the sample inlet vents in the AC control too, and don't put hot/cold drinks near them (tricks the AC - sh*t design!)

    Car museum

    OH YEAH! I totally want one of thoe 6.9's - they're so ridiculous that they're awesome!
  6. Nah it was a guy on a UK forum who brought 5 sets from Germany as a one off thing.
  7. Did the cambelt on Dads E30... 30K since the last one... nearly 5 years ago....
  8. You're mental. I like it. I have 4 cans of bog you can have Fill in the moulding channels on the doors etc - make it "custom". You can even make a mean bodykit with enough bog and polystyrene Nah - I reckon it's one of those cars you have to make an effort to not overcapitalise on, so some stuff ends up "custom", because it cheap Great first cat for miss M
  9. Hella do them, for about $1800 a pair. Ebay.de have RHD xenon retrofit kits at times. I got one from the UK for about $900 all up - 2 brand new Xenon headlights, ballasts etc, and a self levelling retrofit set, all in one nice big box.
  10. Does anybody have a tidy ski hatch cover (boot side) for an E30??? Normally fitted on the SE models, black plastic cover with 2 big magnets to hold it open. I cracked Dads on the weekend Cheers, Allan.
  11. Opportunity is knocking I think E30's are getting to the great divide of the good, and the bad. The good ones are probably going to stay expensive, and the bad ones are going to be cheap (until you spend double what a good one costs, making a bad one into a good one ), and probably get cheaper. Maybe re-shell time? There's still good shells around - there were a LOT of E30's imported, and some are looked after, but not super desirable (320i auto), so aren't too expensive (see note above )
  12. Damn that's awesome! Looks like "The China Syndrome" car:
  13. Who told you I was smart??? You may have me confused with someone else Conveniently, it was in the Dialysis waiting room, and the crash cart is just around the corner Glad I didn't need it! The exercycle is in lots of pieces now, and the cool bits are going home for nerd projects.
  14. Or fit an alligator clip onto each wire, clip one on each nipple, and then get someone to phone the line... the initial tingle will be replaced by a strong rythmic tremor that'll make you scream (No, I didn't try it!) Not as bad as the exercycle I wrote off yesterday after it fed 115VAC at 8 Amps into me through the heart rate monitor pads. In hindsight, doing the Electrical Safety test BEFORE the functional test would have been a good idea.
  15. Then post of vid of the bedding in burnout...
  16. HAHAHA Sounds EXACTLY like he comes across. Seems he's "still driving the same car years later" Bahaha! I wonder if he realises how much energy people have to expend, when they laugh at the wanky videos and comments he makes. If Fair Go have found this page, while investigating the Ebirth Electronics saga they might work out we're not all as wanky as we're cracked up to be, though sometimes one makes up for the rest - that bit where he says he's only in it for the money should do wonders for his reputation.
  17. My bike pump will pump up my bike tyres (commuter/trail, not skinnies) to 60 PSI in about 12 pumps. The same pump will inflat my Beetle tyre to 25 PSI in about 12 minutes... If the bead isn't seated... GOOD LUCK (though I managed it once!). If it's a hand pump, single action...
  18. buy a new one - they're crap!
  19. I have a tip: move all the crap off your hoist, and do it on that
  20. MAN, that is cool! I particularly like how the fan has a "volume" control If I wasn't married, I'd probably be making arrangements for a road trip
