The thing I have found with kiwibiker though, although I haven't signed on for a while now, is that, although they have a huge "social" part of the site, it seems it's pretty good at separating the "social" part and the "mechanical help" part. There are posters on there that you ONLY see in the maintenance section, and posters you only see in the off topic section. I think it works really well. Sorry, it's a bit off topic, but I think it works really well and maybe bimmersport could learn something, maybe..

Bro, why didn't you get some like the green e30 in the back of the last image? Sick wheels g.

Summed up this thread nicely.

I wasn't specifically pointing at that post. But you are right. *dOm DoOs* diagnosis wasn't the best though was it. The poor guy might of even believed him.

This is what I'm talking about. http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....c=27723&hl= This guy posting obviously has very little mechanical knowledge, but the fact he bothered to post a video on youtube and link it to a thread here, to me, means he genuinely just wants some help. And the fact in a previous thread he said he got the car for $100 seems to me to mean he wants to do it on the cheap..

Yes, but I have seen a few people on here simply ask a question and the only replies being "your suspension is clapsed" or "learn to spell" A quality I wish I had sometimes haha.

That all makes sense. But why does someone on here have to earn someone elses respect before they get help on there car that doesn't start ( for example )? From what I have found on the majority of forums ( Kiwibiker, bimmersport, etc ) is that the majority of people who are asking for help with mechanical problems on there are asking because they cannot afford to get it fixed professionally. There is no point telling them they are not experienced because most of them already know that, and there is no point telling them they should take it into the shop because most of them cant afford it. People just want to do a bit of DIY. A little help from some knowledgable people is all they need. I have to say the person who seems to help the inexperienced out the most on this forum is Silver fox, he sees through the bullshit and just posts helpful comments.

Could he please just use this vast knowledge then and not question peoples IQ's?

I've deleted my posts. I totally agree with 1rotty. I wasn't helping ha.

With a few bros helping and a good hoist you should be ok.

You lost my magazine!

Welcome to the life of an E30 owner

I'd just get a factory muffler, and if you want it to look cool get a different tip for it. Oh, and, fix your rear valence. It made me cringe.

Keen. Hurry up John You have 4 weeks.

The guys here that refill the ATM machines have AK47su's. European airports do seem to have small armies based at them don't they?

Great build thread. Looks like you are doing it right the first time. A project bimmersport should be proud of.

1. Put mattress against brick wall 2. Lightly nudge car against mattress 3. ??? 4. Profit Wheels will howl.

Mint $100 skida

Pretty nifty. Two thumbs up from me.

Should always spin. It has a magnetic clutch on the compressor I think.

Tip 1. NZ New - Best UK import - Look for rust.

Yes.

Yep, Ironing board really sets it off. A fresh look.

More likely it's because 5 series beemers are like the Holden Commodore / Ford Falcon of Europe. You see heaps even here in the East.

Another ( boring ) update. Yesterday I went to a city called Zaporozhye. It is home of the biggest Nuclear power station in Europe along with a huge god dam which at it's time of construction was the biggest in Europe. Even though now it isn't the biggest in Europe it is still pretty damn huge. We went there to look at some old Cossack stuff but I was more interested in the dam and some powerlines, if you know what I mean. Here are some lame photos. The Dnieper Hydroelectric Station. If you want to flood some sh*t, bomb this. An old bus Some shoes some Cossack had which are now pretty old or something like that. While people were taking photos of some church, I took a photo of the powerlines. If you want to city to lose power, bomb this. A 1000 year old hole, that used to have Cannons in it or something.
