Where did you send it out from?

I am a Mod. And I want this diff you have already sold

How the hell did I miss that after searching and searching. Cheers mate. Also that's about what they are worth

Jealous. Good to see that smoker of yours is still getting a heap of use.

With 15x8 you will need to roll the rear guards and possibly the front also. If the car is lowered you may need front camber plates and about -2.5 to -3 deg camber for the wheels to clear. FL E30 rear guards are of course a little lower than PFL ones. I still had to roll my PFL ones. This is my old car with 15x8 +0 wheels with 205/50/15 tyres. You could go stretch. But that's just weak.

HB Brent. Hope your not pulling out that motor on your Bday.

Nice one. Caught quite a few this size down Wairarapa ways over xmas. Nothing off the rods. But the torpedo picked up a few on the long line. Good eating. Hope you smoked the crappy Snapper and not the Gurnard

Oh I wish there was such a phone. I just wish the Xperia V had a better processor and a razr maxx battery. Then I would be happy. Edit: Oh wait. It does now. Xperia Z and ZL are on the way.

I would have thought the files would be easy to obtain on the net. Is there any 3rd party BOSE repair agents in NZ/Aus? That you could get the files from? And you should be paying him $20 to take the dirty old IDE drives. lol

A change from the norm and away from the busy parks/beaches and traffic? Would almost need to be a short trip out of Auckland I think. Anyone have any secret spots for car park ups?
-
When you say the sub frame bushes will raise the sub frame 9mm. Does this mean the frame will be 9mm closer or further away from the body? Mine are shagged so I am interested.

There is AKG (Superior to standard) mounts for sale in the for sale section for $80. Comes with Trans mounts too. Good deal.
-
I had a sh*t of a time getting the right one. In the end I swapped out the airbox for a facelift one. The panel was dead easy to find for the plastic FL one.

Just me or did the price of e30 320i's more than double overnight

Sold a E30 320 about a year back for $4500. Was immaculate however. And stock standard. Manual. -
E34 M5 with half a million km's (well, almost)
Driftit replied to tobytoblerone's topic in General Discussion
Seen a few Corollas with over 500,000kms that were still on the original motors. Were 24/7 delivery cars in the UK. 500,000kms on a Taxi is far less impressive than 500,000kms on a personal vehicle only used for personal millage over the years. -
FS: Custom German/Europlates ORDERS NOW CLOSED - Last Order Before Chr
Driftit replied to _ethrty-Andy_'s topic in For Sale
They used to supply the plates in the NZ format. But were slapped with legal warnings from plates.co.nz. Which I think they can ignore as the plate formats are NOT owned by plates. I only just got my plates onto my car this morning. The officer I was dealing with at the North Shore police station thought it was a joke that I could have my plates taken off me when they are of the quality they were. He did not think very highly of the road police department. So in the end was a great help. VTNZ in the end with the help from the Police allowed me to change straight to my unused Personalised plates. So no cost. But now that my BMW has been picked on I think it best to get the real deal Euro plates or stick to the stock ones. -

Yeah I shouldn't have that problem. I think the little E30 would struggle a bit with the E34. Haha BTW took it for a hoon last night. Love it. -

If they were not such a ripoff I would be happy to purchase legit ones. The plates that were taken were just Gov issued ones. FWY152. I will be putting on my retired DRFT IT ones. Will get them remade into Euro length next year for the $300. Oh and after work I am going to get a police report so I can get plates on my car. If you tell NZTA/LTNZ/Post Office they were stolen you also need a police report. -

I will be demanding the plates back as I figure they are personal property too. I think they have to have a suspicion of misuse for them to be removed. Does anybody have any links or info on this situation. And what the cop is actually allowed to remove from your vehicle? As far as I can see the Police are now unwittingly helping a private organisation continue with its monopolistic business model. You know. We are the only ones allowed so lets charge what the F we like. This is what Plates said about my query into why their plates are so expensive to have remade. Sorry guys. I already have life time entitlement for my plate. And manufacture costs no more than $12 per plate. -

Just had mine taken off me today. The argument with the cop was a laugh. Apparently hundreds of gas thieves buy their plates from Germanplates.com so they can steal petrol. Yeah Right. Therefore anyone with these plates is a criminal who steals gas. Rather than someone trying to avoid the monopolistic prices that plates.co.nz charges. There will be fines and demerits from now on. They are doing another crack down. So now I am stuck with no plates. I tried to get new ones this morning. But can't as I have nothing to surrender as the cop took mine. I don't have the original ones. Never have. Looks like it is time to be ripped off by plates.co.nz -
Wish my ones paint was that mint.

They are also very strick on Turbos. All turbos must run in A class. Even if they are low powered. Only a handful of Turbo BMW's that can run.
