    Nerve Damage

    I dont know if its nerve damage cause I never asked but I broke my leg when I was 10 and then my ankle when I was 13, from my knee down it starts hurting in cold weather but TBH doesnt really bother me Got a wisdom tooth pulled last month and it still feels numb, dentist said it should come right in a couple months but dont be suprised if it doesnt feel 100% Go buy Xbox kinect thats all hands free gaming While Im at it, the missus ran me over on new years 09 and fractured my hip I was walking like a g-unit for 6 weeks ha
  8. +1 I got to say that original comment was pretty ignorant It seems people that havent needed govt assist. before think that the local winz office is full of degenarates and bludging single mothers. I know a lot of single mothers that need a benefit and its not because they are bludgers or slutty its generally because the father wasnt man enough to stick around and help raise the child. albeit the decent people:scumbag ratio is low ha
  9. Yea but I want 15x9s which I havent been able to find in nz Cheers RvT and Silverfox Ill have a look into it
  10. What did it cost you for shipping? The rims are around $410nzl so even if it costs double to send them its still cheaper by $150+ to get them from USA Heres the link to one set Im looking at XXR 002 Rims
  11. Ive been looking at Ebay and dam wheels are cheap in the US Looking at getting a set or two. Has anyone here had wheels sent from the states? Any hidden costs I should worry about? gst etc. Any preferable shipping companies?

    205/50R16 tyres

    Im after some tyres (205/50R16) to get a wof on my WRX They dont need to be flash just cheap and wofable. Preferably in Wellington. Cheers Ben
  13. Thankyou for your invaluable response Has anyone else actually had experience with these m20 manifolds? Even just a link to a thread of one being used? Ive been searching google for 2 days and still havent found a thing
  14. Is there a thread on his build? I did a search and couldnt find anything explaining what he did. Did he have to cut the pipes to make it fit or move the flange? The flange looks like it will clear the strut tower with enough room for a turbo but I dont know if the mass of pipes will clear the chassis rail. @1dvsbm Looking at 1200 for a decent custom manifold I think id rather buy this and chop it up to fit like I did with my M50 one
  15. I found this on the driven performance website M20 Turbo Manifold And yes I know from personal experience that ther E36 M50 turbo manifolds dont fit (they wont post my feedback on the site). So has anyone used one? Any problems with it? Im hoping its not just a flipped left hand drive one.

    Fool

    Its faster and easier if you just plead guilty. Your just another boy racer in the eyes of the law.
  17. I didnt read the article but the site looks to be american they dont get as high octane fuel as us. I think 94 is the highest in usa. To answer your question a fuel with a higher octane will help prevent detonation better than a fuel with a lower octane rating. I would use 95 as a minimum in your m3 with its high compression. use 98 if price isnt a worry
  18. Are E39's prone to breaking? I do like the E34's but they are starting to look a little dated IMO and if I was to get a car with older styling I think Id pefer a VK/VL holden. What are the 5 series like in the twisties? I realise they wont be as nimbe as my 325i but are they stable. ie. not boatish Has anyone here modified there 540i? Ive seen on usa forums they can get a bit more out of the engine with usual intake, exhaust, chip etc. What are you v8 guys power figures?
  19. So Ive been looking around for another car to replace my 325i and even though I told myself I dont want another BMW right now , after going through everything I want in a car it seems as though a BMW is what I need haha What I want to know is what are E39 540i like performance wise? I dont expect it to blow the doors off an evo but what are they like compared to similar vintage holdens and fords?
  20. That abomination was built by two questionably talented guys on a TV show called Chop Shop london garage. f**king hideous IMO. they used about 150mm wheel spacers to fit the wheels HATE BUTTON
