Very nice!!! Wheels really suit it!

Wow, that's fast! What bolt ons??

Bump once more before trademe

Lol pretty much exactly what she said! Your car sounds mint!

How he didn't kill 100 people in that video astounds me. IRL, there was some knuckle-dragger in a white Previa trying to re-enact this on the Southern M'way this arvo. Auckland is awesome.

Feels. It's worth spending a bit more to get a good breathable one. Last thing you want is moisture buildup under the cover!

Stunning machine! Keen on more interior shots & intake! How do you find the ZHP g/k?

^^ mine was too so I bought an indoor cover. Here's how mine's sat over the break.

Hi all, back up for sale again. Potential buyer is planning to sell his e46, so not worth upgrading to the sunglasses tray. I'm quite negotiable on the price. Let me know if you're keen.

I can't help you on places to re-furb wheels, but be careful on the paint match - it's a rather specific colour so may be best to paint all four (if you hadn't planned to already). In terms of tyres, I'm running Nitto Invos on the same wheels as you and couldn't be happier. Heaps of guys in the US have good experiences with these on their M3's.

Epic night for photos! Pretty happy where we're at with M TOY now - it's been a fun couple of years saving & changing out the parts I wanted to, and I've learnt heaps along the way. Whilst many of the changes I've made are quite subtle, they add up to quite a different car than when I bought it. I'll continue to chip away replacing parts when and where I can, so this is by no means the end of the road. In fact, it's quite far from it. Edit: And one of Adeeb's photos from the last meet, for those who didn't spot it. MTOY, Adeeb's e39 & JT's topless wonder at Sylvia Park.

Don't know the car but looks pretty tidy on the face of it - and cheap for a manual. Best to check out usual faults such as cracks in subframe, rattly cold idle (replaced vanos or not), general wear & tear. Says it's serviced by Jerry Clayton - check how regular. 160kms is getting up there, but there's another member on the forum here with one on similar k's - they're definitely around..!

^^ Don't forget the e34 .... BMW fanboy from ages ago... Bloody good output there mate, you'd be stoked!

Nice. Have a look on youtube re: cleaning leather. There's a yank chap based in Japan who posted a vid cleaning lexus leather seats with some impressive results. I've also had good results with Lux soap flakes, and patience.

On hold

Surely you're joking... are you expecting the Police to catch a bus to assist you when you need them?

^^ watch Nerd Cubed's rant on this... it's quite entertaining. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61une0e-hq4&feature=c4-overview&list=UUKab3hYnOoTZZbEUQBMx-ww

I like exposed rivets, but it makes it look a bit like an ae86...

I vote Tristan replicates this

Not really answering your question mate, but I've spent a bit of time in a chipped Skoda Fabia VRs. Same 1.4TDI engine as in the rest of the VW group, it's a bloody good performer. Cheap to run, and it's been reliable for 140,000kms so far. I like it so much that I'm keen on getting one myself when the Corolla finally dies (circa year 2034). My family have owned a number of Peugeots - and currently have a 308 TDI. They don't have any complaints about the 308, and do like the engine, however they had a fair amount of trouble with pre-2007 models. 2006 3l (petrol) 406 had heaps of squeaks & loose interior parts bought new from the factory (shoddy build quality), 106 had an intermittent stall issue on idle that was never fixed. The 405 dad owned for a bit was a good car. These three are all petrol, mind. I was a bit wary with the Skoda brand a few years ago, however they really are VW build quality.

I had a look for z3m mats earlier tonight - look how bloody expensive they are for aftermarket ones in RHD ...!!

Good news, I had the same experience when installing a K&N intake onto my m3.. maybe the amplified noise made it more evident, but the car certainly seems to rev more freely. I'm going on 3 months and 800kms on the oiled K&N with no MAF issues. This has included one clean & re-oil after a very dusty road.

Stunning, Ray. Awesome to have a nose at this in the weekend. Bloody rare as an original S54!
