Driftit

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.

You had better check into requiring a cert or not. On a few friends cars (all silvia's), their cert plates do list the Gearbox has been changed to Manual and that it was a Nissan Box it was changed too.

4 X the price too

To be honest. Thats way too much to spend for power gained. I would just go the M20B28 route. I have the M52B28 Crank, M20B25 rods. Then you just need some M20B25 pistons. A full engine gasket set. New bearings. And a ECU mod and tune by Gavin at Hi Velocity. Then you have yourself a nice 2.8ltr. Tons of tourqe. As time goes by you can look at head work etc. I think you have had tha same dream of a powerful E30 that we have all had at some stage. The problem is that you dont get a heck of alot of bang for buck in BMW's. Unless you go the turbo route.

That was me. Your lucky you got a nice cop. Your Dad could be done for Fraud (Double Rego on a car) and no doubt loose the plate for good and not ever be able to get another. I was infact only using the plate while I was sorted out the cars Wof. So not really commiting fraud. Just didn't understand the rules. Rules were explained to you not long ago and you were using them so you could drive a car without a reg and wof. So you are quite lucky you didn't get fined.

Only lights I find annoying is those Audi Rice Lights. What are you trying to do? Make your car look like a Mac Truck? Also not a fan of retrofitted Halo lights. Unless they originally came on that model of BMW. But to be honest. If you are being 'dazzled' that badly by any lights while night driving I suggest you get your eyes checked and avoid driving at night.

This is a good friend of mine. He has sold a few other sets of shocks via me previously. Very trustworthy. Dan

Why not go 2.8ltr. Using the E36 2.8 crank, m20B25 pistons and m20B20 rods. I have it all and am thinking of selling.

MSPaint owns. Used it on a similar game years ago when working at Vodafone. Whole office spent half the day trying to beat it. None of them caught on.

If you have your front fog lights on when it is not foggy. It is illegal. If you get a wanker cop like a mate of mine recently did. You will be fined. I was made to remove my fog lights from my 180sx when I got it complied a few years back. Had to fully remove them rather than just disable them.
