Driftit

There is a bloody ugly one around my hood in Torbay. It had red wheels at one stage I wonder if the chrome wrap was next on his mod list. Could be mates with the white and fluro orange 7 series.

As I posted on the Bimmersport bookface. Quick helmet cam video of the new M3 at some sort of promo shoot.

Total oil would be fine too I would think. Total acquired ELF a number of years ago. They have a very strong relationship with Renault. Shame it doesn't make them any prettier

Elf can be purchased in Auckland from ADL or Exedy on the Shore. Otherwise give them a call on 0800 353 645 to see who supplies it. It is no more expensive than other brands like Castol. It does come in a 5ltr pack too. Rather than the bloody annoying 4ltr packs which are not enough for any Bimmer or Nissan. Redline can be a hit and miss too. It can be very harsh on copper syncros. Kayne Barry Motorsport (Gearbox/Diff/everything Guru) always recommends us to use Castrol gear oils in the BMW race series.

Sell both and find a manual 325i FL that you like. Don't waste time and money on a conversion unless it is really worth it and will save you money buying a newer better E30.

Was one of Henry's days Steve. Notorious for crashes and bad driving. Would have to pay me to go back on track with that crowd again. Which is a shame because Henry is a nice guy.

10w40 Elf Competition. Best oil I have found in my E30's and Nissans. I found magnatec dropped my oil pressure too low after races. Meaning it doesn't do as good a job when hot. Changing out the magnatec in the pits between races solved the issue immediately. I also tried two American oils called Champion and Royal Purple. Both of which were instantly much more noisy than the Elf oil and once again oil pressure was too low after a race. I actually think the Champion diff oil f**ked my road e30's diff.

Swap you. You can redo my ones in leather instead. Haha.

Is pretty common in M325i's. My runaround has it also. It is only worth money if it is in mint condition. If it is already worn or on its last legs its worth bugger all as it is so expensive to repair. Mine is worn out. I will just replace it with leather as the fabric is no longer available as the others said.

Block has been claimed. Cheers.

Does anyone want a M20B20 complete short block? Motor was low KM's around 120K but some idiot cooked the head. Head was not warped just cracked. Free to a good home. It is taking up precious M30 Turbo room. Is currently on a stand and I have an engine crane to lift it into your vehicle. I am in Torbay on the North Shore. Dan 0211887733 Edit: If you take the block I will chuck in the head and intake manifold which is worth about $35 in scrap.

If you still have a factory one on your car you can buy a replacement mast from here. http://www.pelicanparts.com/BMW/catalog/shopcart/BE30/POR_BE30_MISCLL_pg15.htm#item67

$1400 winning bid. Wow. My brother sold his 728 pfl which was well rooted for $11K only a few years ago.

Cheap one. Was thinking about grabbing it just for its motor. But I have no time or room for another project at the moment. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-648960212.htm

Motor was bog standard other than the headers they made to make it fit. AJ got bored of the car and sold it on a quite a while ago. Was just a muck around project for the workshop boys so not a lot of money was spent.

Christ that's pricey. I am not a E36 fan but isn't that about 2-3K overpriced? Or does the manual box out weigh the fact it is a 94 with 200,000kms on the clock?

If you want a Cyclops that is installed correctly talk to Brendan at Hope Hickman Auto Electrical. They are up the top of Nelson St in the CBD. He is also the one that hates AVS alarms for various reasons. He is a good mate of mine and does a lot of work for Bimmersport members and BMW race series competitors.

Who knows. Came with the car. Was a prick to get out. Was so easy to bi-pass. Endless times when it stranded me where ever I parked. Trying to find that video of the AVS alarms being disabled in seconds. But it looks like it has been taken down which is good. Cyclops alarms have a very good name for themselves. They are the brand my friend puts in in place of the AVS units.

Just another warning for those with these plates. Two guys from work just got picked up in Albany and fined $100 for having these plates. They were taken on the spot by the cops just like mine were 11 months back. I fought the fine and pretty much got ignored and forced to pay. The cops on the Shore are checking plates on every Euro. Easy pickings for them.

Get rid of the Subaru. Magnet for muppets. A well known Autosparky friend of mine warns everyone away from AVS alarms. Their 5 star alarms are not even close to what 5 star quality and features should be. If you do get one make sure you change the factory over ride. As this is on youtube and very few people ever change it. Also the org who were giving alarms their ratings have been under fire for the last few years. Apparently it is one person who does very little testing. My AVS alarm caused me nothing but headaches. Immoberliser had a mind of its own but was still able to be bi-passed by jump starting the car. Bloody joke.

None of which need to be M325i parts. They are all generic E30 parts.

They should be fine at +15. I had 15x8 +0 on my E30. Required lots of camber up front and a good guard roll at the back.

Write in stating that you got ticketed not 5 mins before driving to try and get a WOF. The car broke down there and you were unable to get it back into the driveway. It was moved back in later that day. Use your imagination and some bullshit. Don't feel bad about bullshitting some filthy vultures.

I don't think there is anything off the shelf for the E34 anymore. Your best bet is through companies like PPF in Sweden. I have purchased a few bits through them. Great to deal with and the stuff arrives quicker than it takes to clear NZ customs. Otherwise there is no harm in having the coilovers made like Milan did for the E34. They work great. And this way as long as they have a 2" spring you can muck around with the spring weight to get it right for the big motor you have up front.

Mine is no doubt all custom. But they can build anything.
