I reckon it's the pcv mine did the exact same when the pcv shat itself on the back of intake manifold u can change it without removing the intake manifold I tried but was way easier having it off if recommend swapping the torx bolts out for hex bolts too

I'd rather have the era turbo mini in the background of the second one

I'd just take it for it's wof if it fails on that then asking as you get them recovered and installed in the 28 days you can take it back show them and they'll pass it

She's a 69 super deluxe and some of the interior is like new which is handy

Yeah it is the front end exterior panels are back to bare metal just contemplating the best way to remove the front wingsMy metro calipers cost me a massive $50 so I thought hey why not

The metro 4 pots have been put in the hold area anyway they get used on something else. Our brake man at work reckons he can build me some shoes that will perform a lot better then of shelf ones, so I'm sticking with drums and I'd never put 13's on a mini either. As far as the hydro goes it all depends on the condition of it as rebuilding these isn't exactly cheap, but with the modding the suframes to take cones and then replacing other bits to convert it to a dry setup the costs will be close. some things are confirmed it will stay tweed grey with a white roof it will have a red interior and it won't have arches

You can tell that reply wasn't thought up by ze German office, someone has a sense of humour

Well belts not an issue it has a total of 0 and I was looking at one without the cross bar Lol I so I better not put the metro 4pot calipers and disc setup on and get rid of the hydrolastic set up for normal shocks and hilos then, it's got enough holes in it at the mo don't think another 16 is going to matter

Some shed some light on this for me I'm thinking about fitting what I'd call a half cage in the mini would I need a cert half cage having 4 mounting points and maybe a rear diagonal

Well it has no badge so i could rename what ever I wanted could have a 540 m5 or I could make a 544i badge and have the only 544i in the world

To be honest who gives a f**k what it is or isn't. I might go buy an AMG badge and stick it on the 540 and I'll ask vtnz to make sure that when it gets relicensed it says bmw 540 AMG, this is an amazing car although I wouldn't spend that on it I'm sure someone will. I'll get back on my fence now

Done, swapped to the jap radio unit that was floating around in the boot worked straight away

Yeah just been going over it with multimeter too only way I can get it to do anything is to change the 4 pin switches to alpine m bus then it makes my screen go white lol but the blue power light on the anycar flashes not doing that again. Lucky I have another radio module its a jap one but I'll try swapping them over tomorrow or may I need to unplug the cd changer from the back of the head unit coz it still gas power who knows it's dark and I'm being eaten alive by mozzies

Yeah tried both and as the plug can go in either way tried all possible options gonna take the multimeter to it tonight see if I'm getting power anywhere

Lol you know u want this but red

My anycar link turned up today with the harnes that is designed to go into the radio unit behind the back seat installed as per instructions unit won't power up any one had experience with one of these

Yeah I priced up new ones through be car parts and hella through work last week and decided just to do the adjusters and then these turn up

Lol just waiting on these and the fuel pump to turn up before I book it in was sad seeing the touring go looked so nice with its 17's on even turned a few heads driving down the road

They are normal headlights as fitted to motorsport models or specd with clear fronts it's more the price I paid I've seen standard orange at that price or clears for that each

So good infact I couldn't turn it down http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=695534310

Well if you do decide to sell it you can buy mine when your ready for a 540 again
