  1. Wow that paint is shiny, respray or original? Looks good!
  2. ^^ Awesome!!! Some great sights on that trip! Do you have any more of the mini-car? Looks pretty intricate!
  3. I'd still have it in a heartbeat...
  4. One more in agreement here. I just spent the better part of a day working on a family member's 2CV; it's nowhere near as good as the above in terms of finish quality, but it's something I can be proud of. That's what matters to me; I would find it hard to be as proud of a paint finish that has been produced by someone else. Before: After:
  5. Sounds awesome, in for pics!
  6. Free plug for a stunning machine at a sharp price. Good luck with your sale mate, if I was in the market I'd snap this up in a heartbeat!
  7. Gordy needs to go back to school.
  8. Lol! I spied a frozen bronze 6 gran coupe the other day in Greenlane. It was certainly ... eyecatching. Same as this: Edit: removed massive photo
  9. ^^ LOL Awesome cars, Ray! I am highly jealous!! Edit: I'll just leave this here.

    Thank you mate, let us know! I highly recommend the intake thus far! We waited until witching hour last night then went for a drive towards Maraetai. With the windows all closed, you can hear the intake in-cabin from about 4k to rev limit, but only under full load. With the windows open it sounds like the apocalypse. Supersprint exhaust + K&N sure is a loud combination. It really picks up faster in the higher rpm's (over 5k), seemingly without losing any of that delicious mid-range torque. The only problem was running out of road - I'd love to see what sort of speed these M3's could do unlimited in the right environment.

    Mobile Tyre Fitting Could be this chap - photos depict some higher-end cars - but the machine is red (Hofman's seem to be blue from my research). Thanks again Tom Michael - I'll keep an eye on it for sure. Thanks for the link, I didn't know where to start looking! Tristan - lol, I'll give you a call when planning the trip!

    Hi mate, a bit early in the piece to do a decent review. The kit fits up flush, easy to install with the right tools (2hrs max), and the heatshield with it's rubber surround looks relatively stock. In terms of performance, K&N swear by a horsepower gain of +/- 17hp from memory. This isn't noticeable to my untrained butt-dyno. It does seem to rev out smoother/easier however. I'll have a better feel in a couple of months-worth of driving, so will chat then.

    This advice is worth it's weight in gold - thank you very much! Any tips on where's good to mount, that have a Hoffman machine? Is there a possibility I could go shares in that 1l tin? Haha!

    OK thank you I’ll have a look. Will keep an eye on the MAF as part of my normal maintenance – it’s only a couple of inches from the filter, so there’s a high possibility of cloggage. Hehe me too mate! It’ll be some time before I can get good tyres though. That was the original plan Jon, we’ll see! Once I put them on there’s the real possibility I won’t want to take them off again. Chances are I’ll keep the LM reps as spares, as I do not have a spare wheel. Injen sure have a good reputation from what I’ve read, but I honestly didn’t consider them a real option – mainly because I didn’t know where to find ‘em! I’d be keen to have a nosey at yours sometime? The MAF is bloody close to the filter, so it is a real chance of clogging up. I’ll keep an eye on it. After a few spirited runs around the place it seems ok – but time will tell! Thank you mate! I’m a bit anxious on spacers, having come from 10.5’s in the rear that rubbed when cornering hard. That said, I’m also partial to good aesthetics! I’ll mount ‘em up and have a look – do you know where I could find some good 5x120 spacers to try out?The exhaust is so bloody loud that I haven’t noticed as much difference as I expected. It sounds a bit deeper, if anything? Certainly not the same change in pitch as throwing an aluminium pipe on a b18c! It seems to rev out a bit easier in the higher gears, but this may be a placebo.
  18. Simply stunning Moar pics?
