Thanks John, so we don't know how much until the day? Cheers

Yes that's the case, I'm not involved personally, just the messenger ..

Private hire, so race or road cars will be fine.
This is a cost share day, where John from the track is organising others to join in, at present he has a couple of muscle car guys who are interested, Porsche Racers ..
Normal start time, think its after the horses are finished 10:00.

No need to pre-book, just turn up and pay on the day.

only m-sport fits I think

Oh perfect I see you have one that will fit ..

Brent, how much for front bumper tow eye cover ? Is it the same size as Msport ?

for msport bumper, sliver (TitanSilber metallic)

You have to be careful that's all I'm sayin. You can enable and disable all sorts of things but some folk do end up stuffing things.

Hope you have Phil's ok before playing around with the settings on his next car )

When is the cage being fitted ?

I've simply just removed the belt on the race car. Still technically not legal (as my WOF man initially pointed out) but turns a blind eye

now based on the facts - A: he is a race car man himself & B: he understands the reasoning for.

Andy's suggestion is probably the best - without evidence of a power rack - no one will probably notice.

Bear in mind though - steering is rather heavy for manouvering in tight spaces.

I've done the same, in fact I'd expect all of the E30 series cars would have dropped the belt (so it can be returned for Targa / hill climbs / rallys etc) or replaced the rack.

Had this AA callout this morning.

Job brief: Loss of traction to rear wheels...

That's "Sustained Loss of Traction" right there - traffic ticket offence ?

no Idea what its worth

$100 shipped?

460x640

comes with a coupley hoses

Actually I've had too many plastic header tanks crack with age-fatigue, so I'll go for a new one to stop history repeating.. Thanks anyway.

Never mind the over-priced VW, where are the pictures of the "FINA" M3 from the background??

yeah, or the fine yellow E30 BMW Races series car (top right) that won a stage, 2nd in 2 stages, came 3rd beating BDA Escorts..

Great Tyler.

Do you have a pic & measurements to ensure it's correct fitting ?

What age is it ?

How much and any idea on freight ?

Cheers, John

Morning Harv,

Bugger I have an LJet I guess they are different ?

Cheers John

for '86 E30 320i manual.. prefer new..

+1 kayne built my ATB (LSD) - precision engineering

Yes was a great day.. except if you were driving daddy's new RS4 !

I have a negative attitude towards road cyclists I admit. But I can honestly say MOST cyclists I see are not following our road rules in one way or another.

Just like MOST motorcyclists I see are not following our road rules.

It is not a minority ruining it for the majority in my opinion.

Well..he who is without sin can cast the first stone..

Like most cyclists I'm also a motorist.

I cycle for fitness on weekends (early in morning before anyone is up) and daily commute to work.

I've had car door flung open, busses overtake then stop instantly at a bus stop, busses nearly complete the pass before they pull into a lay-by, bottles thrown and drinks squirted. My kids have been knocked off their bike by opening car doors.. my 13yo son was thrown into the path of an oncoming car..

Yes I see some cyclists running Orange / Red / Ped X- UNACCEPTABLE - just like motorists that run Orange / Red / Ped X, block intersections that they shouldn't have entered in the first place..

We all need to share the road and obey the road rules, else someone gets hurt, likely a motorist on a bike.

I have an E90 Motorsport with front tyres oem 225-45-17 rear oem 255-40-17 these are run flats and near the end of their life. I intend to change to normal tyres. Does anyone here who has changed over and has a good all round tyre Rain/ Dry not too soft not too hard that they can recommend. I would be grateful

Many E90s have dropped the run-flats; expensive / noisy / harsh ride.. I'm pleased with the Continental Contact MC5 on my Msport, and carrying an air pump & repair kit.

Need some help guys, I just got turned down by ASB and State as I am disclosing about $6k worth of modifications:

- Strut bars (do these need disclosing?)

- Blisten shocks

- Alloys

- Cooling system

The exhaust and brakes are performance, but they're BMW ones and pretty sure they were an "add-on" at purchase.

As I bought the car with these mods, I don't actually have any idea what they actually cost...

AA has quoted me $117 per month with those modifications (although didn't ask about the alloys) through their online quote.

State suggested NAC and then I've just had a look at Swann.

What do you guys think?

I'd recommend Swann, get their Track Day cover also...

Ross,

Rich Batchelor has his up for sale and Phil Pietersen will probably sell his yellow car once his orange car is back on the track..

Both cars are good performers..

I really feel sorry for you owning one of these

Thank you Glenn for the warning last year.. I'm loving the E90 323i Msport

Dont ask me why someone posted me launching off the start line in slo-mo
