  1. Looks way better than the orange ones. But how come you didn't go for the facelift lights? Are they too expensive or something? I have them in my 540. Non HID ones. I didn't install them though so not sure how hard it is.
  2. Haha I saw that on Stuff.co.nz this morn. And it said nothing about any BMW. Better watch your tempers guys. According to the Herald BMW drivers have a short fuse.
  3. Am after something similar to this. But the yanks list the items at very low prices then charge nearly double for shipping. Something that should be $120NZD ends up costing $400+NZD which is a joke. Is there anywhere in NZ that I can get something like this? They have to have facelift stuff. Only stuff I have found so far is for the 95-00 bumpers. I need 01-03 stuff.
  4. Motul RBF600 and RBF660 is only about $25 from BNT for a 1ltr. Should be all you need for a full flush. 2 ltrs just incase. I use this in my series car. And have never had it overheat etc.. Even with shitty pads it was still fine. Motul, Pentrite, Lucas all come from the same factory. Infact I think Castrol is the only one that has their own design at the moment. Many of the series guys also use the castrol stuff. BTW dont go to race brakes. They sell the same RBF600 fluid for double the price of BNT. Good advice. Crazy prices!

    A Detail in detail

    I wish I wasn't so lazy. Like Bravo, I am more likely to repaint the car. Haha.
  6. What a shame it didn't. Story would have read so much better if the filth doing the runner were badly injured from their antics.

    Moar fri funnies

    Yeah might have to give that another watch. Have not seen that in many many years.
  8. sh*t that cat is annoying.
  9. Awesome cheers Ray will ring you today to get this under way. Trust me Cliff. You dont want ABS from a Mid 80's car. I have spent about $600 trying to hunt down the problem.
  10. I want to remove my troublesome ABS system from my 325. I have been trying to track down it's problems for weeks now and it has cost me the sale of the car. I managed to get the ABS light to stay off. But now when I try and brake at over about 50kph the pedal goes hard as a rock and pretty much stops you from braking. Bloody scary too. ABS light does not come on now. So instead of wasting more money on hunting down the gremlin I am going to ditch it all together. Does anyone have a list of what is required? And what lines do I need to change?
  11. Jump the fence and drive out. Most places like this just have a code or key to get in and a magnetic sensor to let you out.
  12. Haha the real life version
  13. Haha I remember it being massive. My friend had a room just for it. Single Child Jap Kid. Bottem left of the pic. 7 1/2 feet long! Woh!
  14. I also had a crapload of Matchbox cars. And I never liked the Hotwheels due to the rear wheels being bigger than the front. I have a briefcase Gas Station (is quite big) for matchbox cars. One of my favourites as a kid. But I love my little Mini Z more. But I was into GI Joes more than anything. I had a ton of them. I still have the HUGE Chinook and Forward Sweep Wing Jet somewhere. Also Lego was big for me. I have that huge Pirate ship still. Was a bit spoilt as a kid as my brother and sister were twins and 8 years yonger. So I did not get much attention. I am not complaining. lol Almost forgot about Mirco Machines!! Wonder where mine are. Toys were so much better back in the 80's. Quality was 10X better. Toys these days are a joke. I always wanted this. The Gigantic GI Joe Aircraft Carrier. A Japanese friend of mine had it.
  15. Yeah thats the one. Obviously that info was just presumed. Not factual. As I am sure there has been many other crashes similar. Here is a good one. Not as fast but he survives.
  16. Well that is a fail statement. Owen Evans crashed trying to break the NZ Land Speed Record on an Open road at over 200mph and survived. But I can not find the footage or any official links for him or the record. Anyone got anything?
  17. 1999 Subaru Legacy GT wagon You have the wrong details for a GT Wagon. All the NZ new and Jap GT's are Twin Turbo in that year. And 2ltr not the 2.5
  18. Quite a common scam but this time it is different. As they are trying to sell my car! lol Thanks to Andy for finding this. I have contacted T&E and will contact the Police to let them know. As I really don't want some angry idiot who fell for the scam showing up at my door wanting his money back. http://www.te.co.nz/te-motors/Cars/Bmw/540i/adId-4312083.htm Just in case the page is removed by the time you see the post. It is essentially all the info taken from the Trademe auction for the car which I purchased 4 weeks ago. So all the info is 100% correct. The only way to contact the seller is via email. Of to which Andy has told me they reply with the old "I am overseas, but if you send me half the money I will send you the car" trick. But I am sure anyone with half a brain would not think they are going to score a E39 540i for $4000 right? lol
  19. Yeah great bunch of cars. I presume there is a healthy BMW following in Canada too. There is pretty much everywhere I think.

    What the

    Old picture. That first car does not have it's wheels attached. Seen more pics on another forum.

    The Z3

    My 1986 Rx7 cost me 70quid over there. But they wanted 1G up front for insurance!! So my theory was if I crash I get out and run away. I think that is pretty much North London's theory too. Well it was in the Cricklewood Massive anyway.
  22. Criminals are criminals. Why on earth would they go out and buy a whole bunch of legit plates when they could just steal them instead for free. And as for clerical errors. I have used them to get off many fines. Was a few years ago now but I have even had a large fine wavered for the officer putting down one digit of my plate incorrectly. Got let off for an officer putting down the cars details as a Nissan Toyota. And that was just automatic. I did not write in about that one. Just got sent a letter stating they would not be pursuing the offense. In a similar situation to yours I was sent a fine after being told he was only giving me a warning and time to correct the issue. I just called him up and he corrected it for me.
  23. Well more like 17K. But they are usually pretty rough.
  24. I didn't need to do anything in my 4 Door E30 Series car. The seats and belts are fully removed. But my cage is homologated and I have a log book and race license.
  25. For NZ new ones they all seem to range between 25K-30K. Jap ones can be half that.
