MacGuyver is that you?

congrats Grant, good to see your breeding more enthusiasts.

checkout www.shox.com - they do a reasonably good deal and can ship to NZ.

Ring Ray 021-2HELLBM as he might have second hand, or buy new from Euroitalian - check your phone book. They're not that expensive new. Better than buying 2nd hand. My 320 costed i think it was under $80 for a pair.

Botany motorworx offers great service at very reasonable prices, worth travelling outside the CBD for seriously. Services 3 of my family's vehicles and im sure many of the other forum members cars, whom I've never heard anything bad from. Take up the opportunatey, honest you wont regret it.

yeah took me a while.. Dr Phata? Dr phTa? Drop hater? Dr-ph(ffff)-ta is what i came up with. (Drifter)

the M323i's anyway, I've heard they do exist - come with a dogleg gearbox and LSD. To check for LSD, would be best to look for the tag on the back of the diff, or stamped into it with an S.

walk around to his place did ya

sorry to go off topic but holy crap.. not having too much of a dig but .. please kids of today, stay in school. on topic .. thats rats dude, called the shipping company? who made the kit, quality looks questionable.

awesome, didnt you're car go missing for a while there.. what happened?

Off which model and chassis of bmw

any vibration? doubt it but could be a wheel bearing.

Hi guys, Cleaning the shed of all the parts I took out of my race car when I stripped it and a few spares I dont feel like I need anyway. I've got some rear door cards, dark grey cloth in good condition, seatbelts, rear windscreen, bottlecaps, spare powersteering rack, windows etc. And quite a few other parts I cant think of. PM for more details. bmw3

Got a few problems I've tried searching for on here but the solutions havent necessarly worked Windows only work when doors are open. Lights on the switches etc work when doors are open as well but soon as doors closed nothing. Checked window lock switch and cleaned contacts. Replaced fuse 27, no luck Fog lights plugged in but no working. Switch is dodge, going to swap the switch tomorrow and check. Cleaned contacts but maybe not good enough, it is the twin button switch and when pressing the rear fog switch they worked but only intermittantly and when letting thte switch out (off) and holding it down. Front switch justr doesnt work altogether, suggesting a dodgy switch or wiring. Changed fuses 29 and 30 to no change. The doorr llocks do not work, battery has been flat and it was deadlocked before this, so all locks bar drivers are deadlocked shut permanently. I'm guessing changing the central locking controller unit might fix this. Currently cant lock the dirvers door like this.

seriously! no offense but tis time to grow up, its a wee bit old.

If you're prepared to drive to Auckland, Glenn at Botanymotorworx has done a great job on my car in teh past.

Ring Smith and Smith I htink mine cost $50

didnt Shane?? E30 Bandit do this?

have a good one Martyyn.

I'm working on it Dave, still havent actually done it on the race car. Need to get the right nozell thing to do it. Only had trusty AA checks and receipts that detail my compressions I've had done to other cars. Place bets now!

I think you forgot to mention hes running 17" tyres on 16" rims too.

Hi guys, I'm curious as to what compression test results people have got from checking there engines. More interested in the E30 318i M40's and E30 320i M20B20 (both fl and pre-fl) but all any results are useful if not for me for others as sort of a benchmark. If you could list the following: Chassis Number: Engine Model: Year: Facelift Or Pre Facelift Compressions: 001/002/003/004/005/006 Any any notes on major engine work thats been completed in say the last say 8 years that you know of. Heres an example of my old E30 316i (1.8L NZ New) Chassis: E30 Engine Model: M40B18 Year:1989 Facelift Compressions 180:185:185:180 Reconditioned engine within the last 5 years. Typically after doing a few AA checks on a few cars, the 2 E30 FL 320's (nearly 200km's both of them) that I checked were lower 150-155psi and a 318i 155-160 (150k's).
