I will take two sets when you get them sused.

Times.

Ha. They are much quicker than you think. Infact I would say the top end would be quicker around the track than you in your french thing.

I quite often left foot brake in my series car. Everything counts in my car. Not as powerful as the others. And I quite like the floor mounted pedal. Only thing I hate is that in my bucket seat the pedals are off to one side a little. Going to modify this before the next season.

What it means is that he is being a cheap ass. People do this to avoid paying higher rego fees. If you get caught on the road with it regd as Class A you will be fined $200.

Haha who dredged this up then realised that it is over 1 year old? Then deleted their thread? Let it die.

The 530 is a much better balanced car apparently. They are all facelifts too I think.

lol. nice comment about the boat. Why not spend the same money as a mint E30 325M and put a 320 in the series. Endless fun in the race series. Gives you an excuse to sell the frenchy and get a nice luxotow car.

IMO they are the best fun value for your dollers. Simple and very cheap. Just drive it. Who cares about the rest.

Get it checked by an independent specialist. AA checks are a total waste of time and money. Someone with a proper scanner. e.g. Checked my E39 540 with a "good" scanner before I purchased it. Came up fine. Then checked it with a very good scanner. Good long list of things for me to open the wallet for. Make sure they throughly check your rear suspension ball joints and tow control arms. These start to wear on higher km E39's and can be expensive to replace. I will recommend Glenn at Botany Motor Worx as his check is very detailed and he has the tools and experience to match. Don't skip a check because it looks good, has low kms or the dealer says she is mint. So many do and pay for it.

My Dad just replaced all of his brakes on his 04 E55. Thats the supercharged E55. I think his was around $4500K including it's 50,000km service. I can't remember what his warranty costs but it is up for renewal soon. The E55 is just an awesome machine. Is quite a laugh when you outdrag a SS Commadore and you have your race car towing behind.

Well I am looking to replace my 97 E39 540 with a later Model 01-03 540/530/530d. Going to have a look at it tomorrow with my old man. I quite like the factory wheels in black on this one. Love the plate too.

Oh sh*t! I want that black one on the BBS wheels. Also I think I might go have a look at that white 530.

PM'd

Spare wheel well? Hope your towing nothing more than hedge trimmings. The original E39 towbar replaces the bumper supports and bolts directly onto the chassis rails with no drilling. Also comes with some pretty beefy supports.

Picked up this little 320 a while ago for a good price. Converted it to manual (getrag 260) and replaced things like the cambelt, water pump and all the other gaskets on the motor including the sump. She is 100% original and in very tidy condition especially inside. Even still has a working CD stacker etc. But I need to sell her on now so I can pay for my engine rebuild on the series car. What would I ask for it? Edit: Oh she is a 1990 and done 140,000kms but looks like she has done more like 40,000kms I was thinking around the $4K mark. I don't see many mid range E30 manuals in this condition. If any.

Had plenty of useless lecturers at AUT. Some were so bad that I could hardly understand their poor english. Some knew nothing about what they were teaching. But there was such a shortage of capable people to teach that we just had to put up with them. But do as Shelley has suggested. If there is something you don't understand make sure you don't let it slide. Keep on him. Btw. I was one of those older brothers Shelley. School already had a hate for my younger brother and sister when they started. Macleans holds a long grudge.

2 Dozen of them. Ditched that plate though.

Yeah mine might be a 540. But it is a 2 out of 10 too. Paint on the bonnet and boot is rooted and some lady stoved in my rear quarter and wont pay. I also have 4 wheel steering.

Better wheels would be genuine E60 M5 wheels. Only set I know of are not for sale.

Yeah I have driven one. Old drey of a thing. Hence why you hardly ever see them driving around. There is some older Jap vids of them testing the Skyline vs the E46 330 and a few other similar cars. Can't remember how it turns out.

He had the Ford in the challenge. I don't like Porches ether though. Though I would like the new one. But you can't have one. As they are all sold...

Wow. Love that one!

I have some Grado 125's And man they are awesome! Retro looking and comfortable. But when I purchased them I was told to buy a DAC or decent sounds card as onboard sound is cheap junk. I didn't. But now I will as soon as I can afford one.

Since they require spacers you can have 5X120 adapter spacers made up. But IMO they are a horrible Offset, wrong stud pattern, not wide enough, not staggered. Better off on a FWD.
