  1. Looking awesome man. Needs more valves.
  2. I'm in London now, this place is frecking sweet. You can turn the taps on and HOT WATER comes out!!! HOLY SHI-- You aint seen nothing man. Those pipes are everywhere, and they get leaks and steam goes everywhere and stuff. I think the reason they keep them above ground is because it's cheaper / they can find leaks easier. Well said. But seriously, there is a lot more to the place than that.
  3. Yes, the thing is I can always buy another car. But I'm only going to be young and stupid once, and I think in 10 years time I wont want to be running around Eastern Europe anymore. I could always buy an e30 over here.. I've seen some pretty crack up rusty cars around. The best was this R31 skyline coupe slammed on its tits with rusted out panels and a hole in the exhaust. Man it was rough, but it was so damn cool. It was RHD as well, and all cars here at LHD. I wanted to take a photo but the driver looked like the type of guy who would quite happily stab someone haha. I also saw a great drag race last night in the centre of town too. A E34 Touring VS a late 90's Lada. The Lada won by miles. They both went over the tram tracks way too fast in the wet and lost tractions, were all over the place, and then the touring locked up and stopped just in time before it slammed into the back of a truck. Great race, would watch again!
  4. Alloy block isn't the best for FI, you'd want some helicoils on those head bolts. Ironblock REP. But yes, they are a newer engine.
  5. Well I'm off home tomorrow so I thought I'd post some final photos. I have decided that I am going to force myself to sell my car at the end of the year and move back here for 6 months. With the money from my car I have calculated I could live here for 6 months no problem, and if I'm a real tight ass I could proberly survive here for a year on the money just from the sale of my car. Here are some photos. My mate Indrek took a lot of them because I have been good at forgetting my camera lately, and some of them are photos he took of the city in general. Cheap fags at the shop, under $2 a packet. The centre of Dnepropetrovsk. The Communist Party van before the elections Hotel in centre of city Communist as apartment blocks Me and Olya, a good friend here Nikolay, Indrek, Me. The Ukraine at it's worst! Old front of building in the centre of the city Vodka yum A stray dog, there are thousands of them. They dont have a SPCA here. Outside in suburbia My friend Juliya's building Outside friends house, for some reason I find photos like this interesting And finally my friend Stevie ( from the Philippines ) and his awesome mullet.
  6. More torque. m50 is 245nm, m50b28 is 280nm or something like that. But, for the extra cash you could be half way to supercharging the m50 hehe.
  7. Merely supports my point hahaha

    e30 again

    Dripped for maybe 500km or so. The same has happened to two other manual e30's i know off. Why dont you check the breather and see if it has oil splattered all around it?

    e30 again

    I overfilled my gearbox a bit when I filled it last because it was out of the car and not on an even surface, it blew out of the breather and if i remember correctly it did drip from around the bellhousing. So it could be that.
  10. I was thinking the same thing. If I ever need a 4x4 I'll go with a Hilux, not a $100,000 shopping trolly. If it is, it's still well out of the water

    E30 24V

    That is really tidy dude. Kudos to you g.
  12. I think it's cool. The rear end of it looks pretty damn ugly, but other than that I give it two thumbs up.

    E30 24V

    Thank Troy for that. He kept his computer on overnight doing auto refresh. He has some weird hobbies. Great work by the way John, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.
  14. Don't you have 14" b-caps on one side and 17" mags on the other? Possible issue.
  15. If he is pulling your leg he is doing very very well haha. If not, he's a quality idiot.

    Price Spy

    Some of the cheapest shops on pricespy are rather dodgy from what I've been told. A few friends have had issues.
  17. I had this problem. Whenever I was giving my car beans around a left hand corner it would rub quite a bit. Really annoying. Mine's gone now and I have no problems. I know others who have taken it off as well with no problems whatsoever.
  18. PRO TIP: Britain is part of Europe, and Italy isn't part of America. EU and Europe are two different things. Norway and Switzerland are part of Europe but not in the EU. So is a lot of Eastern European countries. What he said.
  19. +1 Why do they bother to even take photos of this sh*t? Cant they just take it to the metal man and be done with it.
  20. You'd need roof racks. It wouldn't fit anywhere else.
  21. My mates mum used to have one. We could get it on two wheels in the paddock. Funny little cars.
