Driftit

Many a Porsche, M5, Ferrari and Rolls Royce was painted like that in the UAE a few years back. Seen many failed attempts to pull it off here in NZ though. Does not suite Jap cars imo.

You can get them off Ebay. They are easy to program to your car.

All I have to do is compare them to other cars of similar market Value. In the same market I purchased my 540 from. I could have also picked a Ford Falcon, Holden Commodore, Toyota Camey, Honda Accord and many other dull piles of sh*t.

Haha we use to have a motorised couch down at Cooks Beach. Could fit three of us on it. Made it out of an old Trike offroad bike. See if I can scan in some pitcures. Could see if we could mount a lay z boy onto my mates deathkart. 900cc Suzuki RR motor on a race frame.

Yes of course I meant the 530D. Was an obvious typo you would think.

Downloading the 1st season 13 episode now. Looks good.

When I was looking into E39's to purchase I wanted the 535D Estate or Sedan. Same amount of tourqe as the 540. But they rarely come up for sale. 540 Estates are also rare. Or a rip off. Drove to Wellington on one tank of Gas from East Auckland on Friday. Some heavier driving and passing was done. 10.7 was the average according to the trip computer. Light came on around Paraparam. That was in my 540.

Owned my first car. A 84 Toyota Soarer for 9 years. Only sold it to pay for my wisdom teeth to be removed. Would still have it otherwise. Im 28.

My little green one I was selling a while back will be back up for sale soon. Once I get off my ass and get its wof. But I am looking for double that. But she has all brand new custom made Bilstien shocks, 15x8 wheels with brand new tyres, recaro interior, factory manual, factory lsd. And 325. Has a tow bar as you can see from pic. Should be for sale in the next month.

Have filled my garage with E30 parts. Everytime I visit Ray at Hell BM I end up with more parts. None of which I have put on the car. I always seem to start projects that I then loose interest in but never sell. I have to keep the series car at a mates house because it doesn't fit at home. Have started to fill his garage with bits too. I purchased and collected a heap of parts for my seires car thinking sh*t will break all the time. Have not needed to replace anything on that car to date other than brake pads.

Hi guys. I have a mate who is going to poweder coat my wheels for me. But first I need to prep them. They are in pretty horrid condition. Paint needs to come off. Even if someone has a blaster that I can use that will fit a 18" rim. I have done quite a bit of sand blasting due to owning various Toyotas in the past. Wheels are Type 166 M replicas. (E60 M5 Wheels but 18" not 19")

Thought that color was renamed Homax Simon?

Sorted thanks to Brent. Not driving on the desert road without a heater. lol

If you could locate me a E38 Front bumper for my brothers 98 728 that would be great. It has that PDC front and rear. All we need is the bumper cover. Everything behind it was untouched. All the wreckers around only seem to want to sell me those fiberglass replicas. I would rather just a second hand factory item. Cheers Dan 0211 88 77 33

Mine is not working properly. Works when it feels like it. They look like this. Save me from having to freeze intermittently during winter. Haha. Must be working.

When I worked for MS New Zealand many moons back. If you could provide any proof of purchase we could supply you with a key. Give them a yell. They are based in Aussie now though. Can take time though. But if the Disc was supplied with the computer like the others have suggested. You could try calling the manufacturer. E.g. Dell, Hp, Compaq etc...

Haha yeah thats him.

Wow thats a great one. Some of the photos are really well done too.

9/10 times you see a car on the street with stretched tyres is purely cosmetics. As said in this post and others. Many of the guys in the drift scene have stretched tyres to stiffen the sidewalls. But they are not like that to create less traction. Drifters want as much traction as possible. Reason being is you need a heap of speed to keep it smooth and give you more control. No traction means no speed. This is why they use brand new tyres nearly every round at an event in top level drifting. It is however dangerous on the streets. And tyres will quite often roll off the rim. But that is in the more extreme stretched cases. I have 205/50/15's on a 8" rim. But it is just a subtle stretch. And mainly so I can fit the +0 offset rims on the car.

Bugger I still need a front bumper for an E38. Nobody seems to have one.

I am not loyal to one company. But Telecom still does not have anything that would make me want to change. Thier ad's that pretty much only state "Our network is better" don't do anything for me ah. If the ad's were about how they are going to drop their prices to create a war between the two very stale companies it would gain my interest.

Meh figure skating. Put a ramp in her way and she would snap like a twig.

Telecom XT Plans. Expensive, unattractive. Faster network. Yay! I can get ripped off twice as fast for data!

I own 3 E30's and an E39. And I offen drive the family E38 and E36. So hard to make this basic vote thing work.

For some reason i always forget about the M30 conversion. Now that is some good bang for buck. They look awesome in the engine bay too. There is a few of these E30's around. Gavin from Hi Velocity is infact building one for the Open Class BMW race series. Rob from Bavarian has a sweet Turbo M30. Do it.
