  1. Oh wow. Someone is going to get a deal. If only I was allowed another car.
  2. Yeah I do actually. Not ready to part with it just yet though.

    Sunroof delete

    Plenty of the E30 series cars have had sunroofs. I just drilled out the spots and the rest was very simple. I just made up some brackets to hold the panel in place and sealed her up. There was a lot of weight up there. Couldn't be a worse place for it.
  4. Need more cheap English humour IMO. He does do a good job in the video. But as soon as I heard his voice. Haha
  5. Gavin @ Hi Velocity does much of the BMW tuning in NZ. He is based out of BM Workshop in East Tamaki.
  6. How many KM's has the 4.1 done?
  7. Should be fine as long as I can dig it out when I get back. I know where the spanner is. The locking tool however... You could just make one out of a bit of plate. Drill some holes to suite. That's all it really is anyway.
  8. I won't be near it until Tuesday next week as I am away for racing in Taupo all weekend sorry.
  9. Had to get mine from Ebay. I found nothing in NZ a few months back. Searched high and low. Was $35USD from ebay for my two. Got a locking bar and spanner. Soooo fricken handy for old motors.
  10. My experience comes from yelling out obscenities as we drove past as kids. They can run and throw rocks very well. As for Milan..
  11. It is the Purple pump handles. Called Synergy 8000.
  12. When they look like Jona Lomu in a skirt you are cruising the wrong street. Don't laugh at them cause they run just like Jona could.
  13. In a road car. You won't notice any difference between the two. There would have to be something wrong with the fuel for you to notice. I would only choose Mobile over BP due to the min octain rating. BP can drop pretty low and I have experienced it on a few occasions. But even then I had a high compression turbo car and a knock sensor for indication of detonation increase.
  14. Did someone here hurt your feelings? I think you missed the point of this post.
  15. Doesn't happen here. Not enough rich douche bags. The limited number of Rich Douche bags in NZ seem to buy Audi's and VW's.
  16. Mate just showed me this. But no good for me. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=683122836&ed=true Worth a bid.
  17. Meh. Stretched Tyres. If it was that low and had proper rubber I would be impressed.
  18. Jealous of your set up. I really want to put some money aside to purchase one but need to focus on my car build. Hoping to borrow a camera this week for the racing at Taupo this weekend. Is a Sony action cam. Car sounds good btw.
  19. This was just a term to give idiots who think negative 6deg camber looks good. This online wheel store took it seriously. http://www.ebay.com/itm/17X9-STR520-5X112-120-20MM-GUN-METALWHEELS-FITS-BMW-325-E36-E46-HELLA-FLUSH-/331034024112?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Wheels&hash=item4d132a58b0&vxp=mtr
  20. Shhhhhh. You are letting out an E30 series car secret there. BP 98 was so hit and miss. On my old S13 180SX I had a knock sensor display. Was always interesting seeing that some tanks of BP98 would jump the knock up about 50%. Pretty much putting it on par with 95 octain. Gull and Synergy 8000 were the most stable.
  21. I purchased my entire engine rebuild from overseas. After freight and GST I saved around $1500 on $5000 worth of engine components. Performance shops in NZ are purchasing the parts for not much less than Joe Blogs can. Cut out the middle man who does nothing more than dip his fingers. But when it comes to standard parts I am pretty loyal to Gavin at Euro Italian. He just makes things so easy. Quick email and everything is done. For VW. Your only cheaper option is Qualitat. Ask for Shane and tell him Dan from the BMW forum sent you. Might be lucky to get a discount. He has put me off any VW and Audi for life though. The horror stories are just crazy.
  22. Nissan when they were hear were one of the worst. $330 per piston for an SR20DET. Got them for $48each from the states. Turbo gaskets $110 here. $15 over there. List goes on. All factory Nissan packaged and stamped.
  23. An S13 200sx. 260rwkw from a 1.8ltr. She has fun in it. Though is now thinking about selling it to get something else she can learn with at the track. Showed her this E36. No smile. No words. Just walked away shaking her head.
