    Mobile phone advice

    I had an iPhone 5 and didn't like it and have switched to a windows phone, I have a Nokia lumia 1020 considered the 920 but 1020 was just released at the time, its very easy to use and comes with Nokia's reliability. Has a lot of the same features as the apple stuff but isn't as limiting lets you communicate with all other windows products and most smart tv's. The app store isn't as large but has most of the popular higher end apps. Also doesn't suffer from virus issues like some of the Androids.

    WoF question

    There is no legal requirement for them unless it covers an airbag, so if you don't have curtain airbags then you don't need them.
  6. I have one of these in my E30 and keeps it nice and cool, good quality nice welds, hasn't given me any issues.
  7. I've been in both the v8 and v10 R8's, it was only as a passenger whilst someone else punished them around a track, so I cant really comment on their comfort level, but they both performed flawlessly. It felt like a supercar should very responsive and sounded amazing, it may be out performed by the 911 and R35 but in terms of looks, feel and sound it'd be my pick. I haven't had any experience with the 911 but have the R35, the R35 is a brilliant car don't get me wrong but it felt too easy, like anyone could hop in a look like a racing driver in it, it took a lot of the fun out of it because they've done all the work to make it so driveable.
  8. Well that was inevitable, its been costing them too much to make those cars for a while now and the price of Toyota's in NZ has gone up because of it.
  9. Doing what it does best, sitting still waiting to be finished.

    1989 E30 320i

    No worries i went through all the options when i did mine, tried the coupe rear but because they are split and normally fold down it would mean making up all new mounts whereas the sedan share the same design mountings so you can use the originals
  11. There was a mint E30 320i touring at the supermarket, an 83 year old lady owner had it since new. Thought I was joking when I asked if she wanted to sell it.

    Careful of the e36 coupe seats, the rears take a bit more playing around with to get them to fit, look much nicer but it's a bit of a mission

    the e36 sedan rear seat will fit ive got one in coupe, it should be the same fit as the sedans as they share the same mountings

    Nice work on the car it's looking good, E36 seat swap could make it easier to find leathers

    E30 MTech2 Touring

    Nice work cars looking great, i'm really jealous i've always wanted a touring.
  18. Wasn't this one thats for sale? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/318i/auction-690123706.htm
  19. Ya i'd like to, the plan is coilovers at some stage just got to wait for the budget to stretch that far. I'm looking for some superlow 4 cylinder springs to go in the rear until then because the back end is sitting quite high compared to the front
  20. A quick update, M52 manifolds are on and only needed a small amount of modification to clear the steering. Alloy radiator thanks to Fenix arrived and is sitting nicely in place. I decided to keep the standard brake booster just needed moving left and down 15mm Clearance before Clearance after Thanks Fenix
  21. I have twice, both times Auckland to Napier only cost me $250 both times. Picked a car up myself one time before that and by the time I factored in fuel, road trip energy drinks and how long it took me to go get it and bring it back, it wasnt worth the $50 I saved. I can recommend Car Distribution Group but are quite pricey if your not a trade customer.
  22. He drives an E39 M5 during 90% of the book, hes also put alot if his videos on youtube
  23. A book I can recommend is "The Driver" by Alexander Roy, about the gumball rallys and his U.S. cross country record attempts. I must have read it four times by now
