Sorry 'bout that.
-
It's very economical... If you can drive at 100kmh+ everywhere. Not so good around town... Gulp. Fortunately, mine's a garage queen and a weekend cruiser.
-
Basically the same as the UK. 110 is a shade under the 70mph limit on UK motorways and dual carriageways. A lot of UK cities now have 20mph speed limits on CBD streets.

Seems sensible on the whole. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11325897

Inspiration, Mike?
-
Good on you, hopefully the remedial work doesn't set you back too much.
-
That's the problem... You won't notice in beige pants. Rogue poodle? I thought every house in Remmers came with a dalmatian and poodle as part of the sale agreement?! PS Enough hijacking... GLWS.
-
And you can't tell when the poodles shart on them.
-
Ah, I get it. You've got to swap for an Oxford Green 7er with beige leather. Drop me a line if you're ever over Ponsonby way. I'll pm my number.
-
What part of town did you settle on?
-
Doesn't need to be a dream. Mine's been relatively cheap so far (excluding the non essentials my wife/bank manager/etc are complaining about!). Come for a drive sometime. Are you up in Auckland properly now?
-
Oh man. Would look good next to the 8. Better buy a lotto ticket. Hope it goes to someone who deserves it. PS You better be putting a $$$s aside from the sale to get an 8!!!!
-
PS Or do what the f*ck you want.. It's your car!!!
-
Sorry bro the bonnet's got to go. Made me do a little spew in my mouth. As above, maintenance first then mods... But who am I to talk, I sink ridiculous money into old Kaisers. Also keep the orange indicators, they look mint on a topaz blue car. Clears will cheapen it (although not as much as that bonnet does!). It's a great looking car... Keep it that way!! Haha
-
Thanks Will. I'll see if I can suss it out over the weekend. Have been trying to listen out when I start the car to see if the pump is even engaging but can't hear it over the bloody exhaust noise! hah
-
Better knock off a grand then
-
It dulls it significantly and looks shite as soon as it chips. Much better to leave bare metal and polish with something like autosol and keep it well waxed as Josh/Martin have both suggested IMO.
-
Hmmmnnn... Realoem isn't very clear, Will, as it lists both options for my VIN (though normal ASC seems to have been superseded by ASC+T), so I'll have to have a look and try and get the actual part numbers.
-
Brugar Engineering? Bruce reckons he can machine and polish the lips and leave the centre paint intact (which is in good nick) so has given me a great quote!! Far cheaper than a full repaint.
-
Thanks Ken. Offset's a little too big but thanks for the offer!
-
I looked at a recently imported LHD 850i, only 55K kms with full csi kit and polished M Pars at a dealer. Was listed at $15.5k, sold in less than a week. Take from that what you will.
-
Thanks Tom. Think the E46 M3 offset is a bit out. I've has a kind offer from Darin to borrow his Breytons. They should be a good fit so will probably go with that. Keen to see what they look like on the 8 too!
-
Too much positivity ain't natural, Glenn.
-
That would be awesome, thanks Jeff. What's the offset?
-
You're awesome.
