  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. This is a good friend of mine. He has sold a few other sets of shocks via me previously. Very trustworthy. Dan
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Cheers Jochen. Where can I obtain this retrofit pdf? I have all the parts including the loom from the car that the tv is from.
  10. Pfft you guys are crap.
  11. I have both a 2 door PFL and a 4 door PFL and FL. But to be honest I don't favour one over the other. They both look good in their own way. But if I was forced to pick one. I would prob choose the coupe. The interesting thing was that most people in the BMW race series think the 2 door is the better car. No idea why. Mine is of course a 4 door. Always wondered if it was because they thought the body would be more ridgid. But I would have thought the 4 door was more so as it doesn't have those longer rear quaters with little bracing. e.g. the 4 doors rear door area would give it more support?
  12. Hey guys. Just wondering if it is possible to use the factory E39 TV (non widescreen) in a car that did not come with the unit from factory. Not fussed on having TV stations. But is it possible to install the unit without changing the loom over? Changing the loom is a mission and prob not worth it. I have the Business dual tuner system with tape deck and DSP.
  13. Sounds just like my sister Bravo. But she would have to repeat steps 1 and 2 at least 3 or 4 times.
  14. So hard with the worlds most sensitive mouse. All I got was a 24.
  15. No frost on my cars by the time I woke up. Sleep in till 11am ftw.
  16. Possible repost. But this is still quite awesome. And a great collection of cars thats for sure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En1-lEOmcjU
  17. Pad prices are very expensive. But apparently there is no good substitute.
  18. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj-x9ygQEGA Have a watch of this. Quite funny. Tried to embed it but seems you can't do that in Off Topic.
  19. Would have been keen. But registered back at AUT for another semester. 2 weeks too late.
  20. I remember seeing pictures of this car years ago. And was indeed advertising the fact that it had been painted using new chrome paint. Where did this white gold horse sh*t come from? Not only that but who made up those equally horse sh*t power and 1/4 mile figures?

    The Train. Chch to Auckland was about $400
  22. I am surprised he needs the codec. I have always used Sony cameras and have done a huge amount of editing over the years. Not once did I require a MPGA codec. Did you get any software with the camera?
  23. Never heard of that Audio codec to be honest. Is it known as something else maybe?

    Want to borrow!

    I just changed the springs in my E39 the other day. A little harder than an E30 thats for sure. Never had any trouble with my E30's removing shocks. Always just used the shock method. Can't believe your manual tells you to leave them in the car.! lol.
