  1. I thought these would look really crap then saw them on Honda the other day and they actually look pretty sweet. Count me in for a set if you end up ordering them.
  2. Also keen on dimensions. Could make these very easily.

    Agree with the above about headphones, but it's not as nice to chuck something on in the background, obviously. I completely disagree about amp being not so important, good speakers won't sound good with crap going into them. I have the Cambridge 640A amp, really good bang for buck in the sub $1000 range (although that is new). Also recommend looking at NAD and rotel in that price range and it is possible to find second hand naim, cyrus and some of the more high end brands second hand in this price range. I've never listened to Marantz gear but I've heard really good stuff about it. Also, as a possible money saver you could get an ipod + dock and put all your music on it in 320kbps or lossless and it will sound damn near as good as the cds. Also recommend getting decent speaker cable (you don't need to spend more than $10/m to get something decent, btw). Finally, keep buzzing around on Audioenz for a good deal to come up. I bought my Image Studio Reference HD speakers ($1600 rrp) with Mission speaker stands ($400 rrp) that had only been used for 2 weeks before the guy decided he wanted to upgrade again for only $800.

    Group Buy

    Keen on the cluster rings
  5. The wheels on the m3 have 19 spokes, real ones have 20 like in the link you posted.
  6. My friends dad has an a110. Took me for a ride in it once, such an awesome car.

    One thing to watch if adding the undertray that you don't end up with cooling issues by cutting out that airflow through to the engine. I've heard of this happening to E36 M3 track cars when people have tried to add undertrays. Might not be an issue for an M20 E30 but something to consider
  8. Parked next to an E28 at muriwai today, they're such an awesome shape. I'm definitely buying one when I turn my E30 into a project later in the year
  9. I was in Stewart building cafe. I'm a new grad, just started this week. I got all excited and pointed it out to the people I was sitting with but no one else seemed as interested as me haha. You work there too?
  10. Yep, was black with redded tail lights
  11. Saw a sweet looking Tech II E30 going out and back into the F&P healthcare carpark yesterday lunchtime. Looked real nice.
  12. That would be "a 4x4 is born" I have a racecar is born and a car is reborn on dvd. Great series, really enjoy them.
  13. EVO magazine in it's 100 greatest drivers cars issue rated the mk1 996 GT3 as their favourite of the GT3s and 3rd greatest drivers car overall. "Every subsequent GT3 has been faster and grippier, but the delicacy of the mk1 version has never been matched... The damping is a thing of wonder... Brakes not only fantastically strong but brimming with progression and feel... every journey is involving and satisfying... gets better and better the faster you go... etc etc, [insert superlative here]" Seems like a pretty good choice to me!
  14. I know someone who bought one new and sold it after a couple of years. Last year he was thinking about maybe getting another one to add back to his car collection (he has quite a few), he was offered one for around $85k. I think this was around when one was on trademe for a bit over $100k, which he thought was asking too much at the time. I don't know any details about k's done, modifications made, or overall condition on the one he was offered though sorry. I don't imagine the value would have dropped too far below this though, especially for one with the extras that yours has. Hope that helps.
  15. Spotted E30 M3 EVO in the carpark outside some of the apartments at Hampton Downs on Sunday at the McLaren festival thing. I also got to sit in the McLaren F1!
  16. Ash, as good as you are at giving blowies, they aren't worth a $100 ticket. Sold to mark (1rotty). This better be a good wedding!
  17. A mate of mine decided to have a wedding on the same night that John Paul Jones is playing in Auckland so I have to sell my ticket $80 for it? PM me if interested Edit: This is a standing ticket, not a crappy sit down one
  18. This was the first time i'd seen you guys, loved your set, got me so amped for the rest of the night. Was awesome just hearing an actual guitar after midnight haha. Oh, and LOVED the rage cover!
  19. Did you climb underneath the car with it just up on the factory jack?! Dodgy as man, people have been killed when jacks have failed and dropped the car on top of them
  20. It's gonna be awesome. Looking forward to mars volta, peaches, kasabian, the decemberists and probably some others too. Last year was even better. Was a life long dream to see Neil Young. He'll never be topped as a headliner for me.

    The bastard child.

    Definitely one of the best projects I've seen anywhere. Can't wait to see the finished product! Keep it up
  22. No longer have an e36 coupe so no longer need the roof racks. Wanting $60 for them. Trademe

    Thanks guys, has been a good day so far, should get even better once the whiskey/rum/tequila/beer bottles get opened later on! I'll be trying to make more of a contribution to the forum this year rather that spending all my time lurking. I'm looking forward to meeting some more of you at the anniversary day cruise too.
  24. Or you can just use the resize button in paint and not download anything?
