If someone buys my CA18det E30 for 5k i'll buy it!

Question for the E36 coupe guys and/or 4door if they are the same? The standard speakers in the rear parcel tray boxes are nokia units. They appear to be 11cm? As thats not a normal size and i can't seem to find anything similar what has everyone else done? Thanks!!

Well if everyone else is going to do it then me too! And mine has no fade and very low kms. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=349578303

Thanks guys. Whilst i know auto sparkys i think i'll prob just do it myself! Cheers.

H&R springs and KONI shocks

Are they 7in wide?

Is it possible and what is required to install electric seats into an E36 coupe without electric seats? Thanks.

Want to swap a certed ca18det e30? lol.

PM'd....

Had this exact problem on the ca18 e30 last weekend (yes i know its a diff engine etc etc). I found the problem was the igniter wire had become disconnected from the starter.

I would have thought more power too, especially if its had alot of money spent and with a cam? Mine made more than 99kw on a hub dyno with just headers and exhaust and 250,000kms! Awesome car though! GLWS!

Details from wheels: Borbet Wheels: C75630 KBA42764 16x7.5 ET30 4x100 Schnitzer Wheels 18x8 ET35 P238 03----- 04-----

Due to the small amount of pressure being placed i have edited the OP with pricing on the wheels.

Yes and yes - they are red so i would assume they are of the 'nolathane' variety.

Will get it tonight Jon!

Yes you are correct they are Type C's! Not sure if it would fit or not, i think the headlights are different! Maybe do a google search? Cheers.

Need to double check tomorrow, will get all the specs and condition!

I know exactly where your coming from Simon. I'm not asking for 'offers'. I'm getting an 'expression of interest'. If there is alot of interest then i will seriously consider selling them and decide on a price. I personally hate the whole 'offers' idea hence everything has a price, or an EOI. For the purpose of putting a price for the sake of it lets say $1000 and work from there?

Here is a pic of one of them. A few people have pm'd asking a price - see below. I will check condition of them etc tomorrow. From memory 2 have minor curbing. Pretty sure tyres are Direzzas, 2 good, 2 stuffed from camber wear. As this is an EOI so feel free to pm me an offer - if i like it i'll accept it. If not i'll keep hoarding them like a good wheel whore. There are 3x e36's on the driveway that would look good with them!

I was talking to a cust of mine on Friday, who bought one of the first from me - works for Srixon sports and travels the length of the country in it. He's done about 40,000km since Feb '10 and has had no issues at all. Thats prob the highest km one i've sold, but there are a few others that have passed the 15,000km mark - no probs reported. Our first demo did 12,000km when sold with no issues either, and our current one is on 7,000km. Also in talking to that same cust he told me he easily gets under the 7l/100km and his last trip was 6.6l/100km ave. He gets over 1000km out of a tank (70l) on the open road. The Hyundai Santa Fe Facelift also uses that same engine and nothing has been reported. The Sportage and Hyundai IX35 use a 2l variant of that r-series engine and again nothing has been reported from them either.

No i'm not paid to say that cos i'm not at work on this forum. Thats my honest opinion. As much as i love BMW's if i won lotto i'd buy a Sorento over an X5.... We also sell Holden, Suzuki and Hyundai, plus all of our used stuff - i'll also tell you the Sorento is better than anything we have in our other products.... Don't tell my bosses....

He's had a Kia Rio Diesel before and knew how well that went so i hope he's not! I sell them new so feel free to give me a call! I've lost count of how many Sorento's i've sold since they came out a year ago! Also there are pretty much no more Sportages left till around June due to demand in other markets, we have a couple but thats it! I've done more than enough kms in both the Sportage and Sorento and without a doubt are 2 of my favorite cars - they blow away the competition... Including our Holdens & Suzukis! I'm coming up to akl next month to drive/see the new Captiva though, hopefully Holden have raised their game...!

Kia Sorento R, 145kw, 445nm, 6-speed - you already know my thoughts on them! Get a MY11 model which has bluetooth etc. We're pretty sure they've changed some gearbox settings too cos it goes even better than before!
