Is starting to speed up a little. I have a feeling the shifty pricks are limiting certain sites. I have only been getting around 10gb a week the last few weeks. As all my drives are full at the moment. Will see how it goes.

Just wondering if anybody else has had a major slow down. I am talking download speeds that use to reach 680kbps and since a few days back struggle to get over 100kbps. Now I am on Go Large. Unlimited Bandwidth, Unlimited Line Speed. Now I know the unlimited line speed all depends how many people are on your exchange. And I know it is fricken school holidays. But this is crazy. Telecon has been trying to get me to change plans for a while now. To a plan that would better suite me. Yeah right. I download 65gb+ a month minimum. I know they want this plan gone. But would they stoop as low to cap the speed? Have checked router, upgraded firmware. Tried all the other machines in the house etc.

Not sure if it has been montioned already. But Rob from Barvarian and Gavin from HiVelocity both have 3.5ltr powered E30's. Gavin is building his to go into the open class too. Rob's one is a fire breathing turbo road car. Apparently you can just buy engine mounts for this conversion. Can not remember who makes them. But Gavin had some.

I agree. But then you get the kids who just get the sh*t beaten out of them. Then think it is fine for them to beat the sh*t out of other. And Livi. Why would you stay in an area like that. Move to botany or something. [edit] Family violence is not limited to one specific group of people so lets not make assumptions please.

What about they attacked me and I defended myself? Judge is more likely to be on your side in that situation.

There is new ones on TM pretty cheap.

Haha awesome. Good to see a non PC qoute to get the truth home.

Interesting. Do they have the system working in Auckland at all? I was mucking around with my Professional system the other day and switched something on. Then occasionally while driving I would get three short beeps. No messages or anything would display. I turned the RDS off and never heard the beeps again.

Convinced me to consider the states for my next trip. Can I borrow your M5? Perfect road trip car.

Looks great. Just wish I had a boat to get out for a fish or money to buy some.

Cheers man. Car is not complete yet. I see he posted in Feb saying he is currently building a Nascar truck thing. So BMW is put aside till thats finished. No new pics just yet. Plenty of good reads through that link. There V10 one that was posted here a while back has progressed much further. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2929437

Been trying to hunt down some more info on this car. Does anybody have any links to the project build? Pics are quite old now so the car could be finished.

Yeah nearly everyone in this post runs a race car Erron. But your right. There is no way you could drive your road car hard enough legally on the road to need one.

Spent 3 weeks and $600 trying to track down an abs problem that in the end cost the sale of the car. But the race car works perfect so I am happy.

Happy birthday Jon. See you at the next meet.

There is a track day every other weekend at our various tracks. And most of them do not require you to be a member of any registered car club. As said above Pukekohe which is the track near Auckland holds their own open to anyone days every fortnight. And is only $90 for the day. Taupo is a little more strict. But they even allow private unregistered groups to hire their track. E.g. GTR-elite.com which is NZ's biggest Skyline GTR group was able to hire Taupo with relative ease. Hampton Downs has also invited pretty much everyone to race on their new track which is due to open very soon. I think your only avenue would be to create track days for the euro elite. But I am pretty sure there is a few companies doing this already. Let bimmersport know if you do decide to hold them. As there won't be anyone here who would complain about another track day to thrash their Bmw at. haha.

Hey cheers guys. I would be out having a few but I am not allowed at the moment. Silly kidneys. Yeah I quite often get my Birthday on Easter Weekend. Have had in on Easter Day a few times which sux if you want to go to the pub. Just have to remember to buy your booze on the Saturday. It's funny. No matter how old you get you never stop having fun doing burnouts.

Some people have incorperated a scraper into their baffle. Think it would be a good addition to your car though dave. Design is already done. Some of the baffles are a bit hit and miss.

Now that so many phones have wifi I would have thought these kiosks would have been used less and less. Every Airport I have been in has had free Wifi. Well bar Heathrow. But that airport sux. Changi is my favourite. Has quite private kiosk things. Also and area where you can setup your laptop. Even plug in your ethernet cable. Also has a sweet area full of Xbox 360's up by Burger King.

Same thing. For $200 you can no go wrong. My basic baffle cost that much. Well there is people running these built into their sumps in the E30 series. But could you consider this just a saftey feature? I guess so. I would say it is more of a saftey increase than a power increase in a series car.

People have seen results in the E30 Series. But I dont think they are meant to be running them.

Have heard of slight power gains also. There is a few different ways you can go about it. Modifying your sump or using a sandwich plate styled one. I think to get your sump done at Race FX it was around $450+. But we spotted the sandwich plates for less than half that. Only ever seen them for the M20 though.

All the ones I have used were designed for midgets too. I am dead on 6ft. Something with at least an adjustible screen.

Yeah my engineering teacher at Macleans was hell bent most days. Example. I failed 5th form engineering. I got 42% or something. (Spent most of the time playing N64) He let me look through my paperwork. I got a different colored pen. Scribbled out the 42% and wrote 56%. He never noticed and I passed School Cert Engineering. lol.

I am with you on this. Never heard of it till now. Ahhh. I see why. It is a musician of some sort. Is not Haraki music.
