    I hate how my local BP that used to pump ultimate has somehow mysteriously switched to pumping 95 octane instead...95...what happened to 96 let alone the ultimate 98???

    Hmm now that I notice it the Caltex I stopped at last week has also switched from pumping 96 to 95...wtf? and they still charge the same...

    F**kin' aye. When I was in Auckland picking up the car I stopped to fill up & noticed it was 95, so I went down the road to where it was still 96.. and then now three weeks later I discover that they've all changed over to 95.. wtf is up with that??

    Using 98 now instead :)

    While it's true that it turns your PC into a global relay, it does so on ports that aren't really exploitable but yea in principle it's not fantastic. A lot of my friends in Europe use this and have been pushing me to use it but I'm waiting for a cellphone with VoIP & WiFi built in so I can use it for that.

    Other problem as mentioned is the Telecom network - they actually deliberately smack a 45ms interleave into the line precisely to cripple VoIP & other realtime comms in order to protect their toll revenue. Anyone on UBS will know just how bad this is as it's worse there but Jetstream gets it too.

    cheers guys-

    nah I'm not a big photography buff, I just took a sh*t load of photos and played round with them in picasa - downloaded it from google. Photos were taken at the wainui coast, decent drive to get there :D

    As for hose clips, I just got them from pick-a-part. Cost about $5 for everything. Engine was cleaned using autosol and dynamo (yes laundry powder)

    THat's not just a decent drive man, it's a rocking drive.. bottom of the Coast Road to the start of the houses in 8 minutes and legal all the way.. it's damn fanstastic :)

    Both are painted Arktissilber. Spoiler pic below and also in this thread from a month ago.

    The adjustable bit of the spoiler is actually missing because the retard that owned the car before me thought it looked "dumb" and threw it away... :banghead: Lots more pics on request, paint is slightly chipped around the screwholes where the adjustable fin used to sit.

    Mirrors are in perfect condition, can provide with a set of new screws with L-key fit, rather than the standard bolt style. Interior foam piece is different from OE as I re-used the original piece for my new mirrors.

    Will put both on TM but thought I'd give you guys a shot first. Offers on both - very flexible on mirrors.

    Lookin' mighty fine dude. Only thing I would do now is get clear corners to match the headlights.

    I'll have to throw some new pics of mine up soon, got the mirrors on and the spoiler off, just debating whether it's the right time to pick up the euros. It probably is.. :)

    Nice work man.

    I beg to differ....

    Do you own a silver car?

    My car's arctic silver, it's pretty noticible between clean and dirty.

    Ok that was perhaps a bit unfair. It is a nice colour, and yes I do own a silver car - arctic silver as well.

    It doens't look too bad when it's dirty, and it looks really nice when it's clean. However, other colours, like Montreal Blue or Boston Green, look average when dirty, and absolutely fabulous when clean. The change is much bigger, whereas with silver it's not as big a change. Sure you can still tell a dirty one from a clean one, but the improvement from dirty to clean isn't up there with the others.

    OK so we've sorta done the badging thing to death but I just came home and parked outside there's a "1993 320i M Series" - that's what it says on the LTNZ registration label. It has the full body kit incl. spoiler, M3 mags, the rear badge with no model designation and even has M3 mirrors. And, funnily enough, it's automatic.

    I thought we decided there was no such thing as an "M-series"? :unsure:

    Obviously since then the little "M" badge has probably been fitted by the dealers all over the world to anything that has had a least 1 item from the Motorsport Catelog.

    At the end of the day the badges are really only trinket items that really add no value to the car, unless the car is actually a Motorsport car, and I view them as no different to putting a FPR sticker on the back window of your Falcon.

    See now here's the thing.. this is my second E36 and both have had the M-sport side mouldings & badges, coloured stitching on the steering wheel but neither had the badge on the back. Then today I saw one with the model badge as well as the ///M badge, so it was ///M325i.. but it didn't have the side mouldings or badges and looked totally like this guy had bought the ///M badge and stuck it on in an attempt to fool people.. though it's not at all the first time I've seen that config. I always figured they had something else that mine didn't.. though as you say it's probably just the dealers trying to up the value a little.
