Driftit

After hunting around for hours and hours with no luck in finding much for the head I wish to build, I sent an email to Carl Hayman at www.engineparts.net.nz who has helped me previously for hard to get bits and pieces.

They have everything avalible. So will pop in and see them and they will help me match up what I need.

Will post the details once I get time to go in.

It is on every car related forum and now circulating in emails with an incorrect discription of the car.

Where do you get this restore all?

Have not decided on the top end stuff just yet. Most of the gear I have looked at is all from the states. And with the current exchange rates it is all very pricey.

But most of the stuff I am looking at is from Ireland Engineering. Such as the heavy duty rockers. But they are $25US each.

Unsure on the valve springs as yet. Having a hard time finding them.

And sorry I did not build my 320's head. Was done by someone else.

Quite a few around now too.

My first spin out was the first day I drove my first car. Ended up facing the wrong way going around the Panmure round about.

When you get away with a noob moment like that you should always buy a lotto ticket.

Where do you pick it up mate? Think I have it once but that was overseas I think.

Rare - Yes

Ugly - Yes

If your story is all true then you may be able to appeal it and get the car back. But at the same time your mate (who sounds like a bloody idiot and has no respect for you) could get the full blame and end up with more charges. In that case I would def appeal.

Haha yeah you guys would love to run around in his workshop. I sure would. Sorted me out with some hard to find sort afters this week too.

Cheers again Ray.

This club has some great sponsors.

Paid $1.64 for BP 98 the other day at the Silverdale motorway BP. Was stoked! Thought that was the price for crap car gas. (91)

Collected all my parts for the motor now. But I have to sort out my series car motor first. Will start in a few weeks with lots of pics etc.

I have a new one sitting in my boot as I forgot to install it when I put the motor in last. Will do it this time around I think.

The part number for it is 25117527252

It also comes on the following cars.

Got it for $62 through the race series before they took away our discount

Good to see M3's being put through their paces. Never been a fan of the Sierra though.

Awesome track though. Wish we had something like that here. Looks like a purpose built drift track. Although if we had one here you would have every goober in there cut spring Cefibro crapper wrecking it.

You mean people still get off their ass and buy tickets from a stall somewhere? lol. Glad I got my E-Tickets already.

Ahhh the tickets are on sale to everyone from yesterday mate.

What about a more simple design like this one?

Best way to get and S14 is when it comes with an E30 M3. Just have to spend a little more

Their just jelous because they would look like idiots if they tried something like that themselves.

I got a heap of sh*t when I lived in the UK while the All Blacks were destroying the Lions tour. Nearly got in a fight for just wearing an All Blacks jersey.

But I think the All Blacks would love a challenge in a similar fasion. Like the other Islanders do. Gets everyone hyped up.

This guy is also not the first to whinge about the All Blacks in the last few weeks. There was an Irish bloke having a go the other day.

BMW has for the first time broken the worldwide dominance Japanese carmakers have had on reliability surveys.

The German company's 3-Series range - its biggest seller - has been voted the most reliable car in a study of Britain's vehicle leasing companies, edging out the Toyota Avensis and Honda Accord.

The poll, which covered the reliability history of 881,000 vehicles this year, also revealed that BMW was the most reliable carmaker overall.

In an historic win over the Japanese, the 3-Series was the top-rated model for reliability.

The Mini and the BMW-Series also made the top 10.

The survey, compiled by industry magazine Fleet News, looked at multi-marque leasing companies.

The cars were assessed according to the number of breakdowns for every 100 of each type of model on each leasing company's fleet.

Points were then awarded according to the number of times that brands or particular models appeared in the tables supplied by the leasing firms.

Points were also awarded also for the position in which they were placed.

BEAMERS ARE SIMPLY THE BEST

if it was a sr20 best bet would be the quad throttle bodys off a fwd gtir pulsar

No. For a start the intake ends up facing the firewall. Secondly you will get near NO gains from it. Hence why nobody does this. I only know of one Silvia with quad throttle bodies in SNZ (Silvia New Zealand). It was an aftermarket set made for RWD. And they were such a hassle for us to set up. And not much of a gain in HP and crazy expensive.

As for the RB20. If you still have things like the carbon canister you can get rid of that. Should cut out a few vacuum lines. But other than that there is not much you can get rid off. Otherwise you could spend a bit on money and buy a larger front facing plenum. But do not bother modifying the stock one. This of course only suites if you have a FMIC.

Jeddy is right about the cost of the S14. Everyone wants an BMW S14 motor when they first come on bimmersport. Until they realise how much they are. Dream shattered unless you win lotto and still have an urge to build a fake M3?

$75 an hour when I was there on Thursday. He made a good gain on my E30 320.

So hard. I do better going backwards! lol.

Not mine but claimed from another forum. No doubt overseas.

So I'm using my bbq this weekend... so I thought I'll clean it up..

I have know there are bees coming from under the cover so I thought I'd kill them, obviously...

so heres the BBQ in question

Now I know these bombs aren't for bees and that but I thought I'll suffocate/smoke them out. So here is the weapon of choice and delivery system.

I thought I was pretty smart hehehe designed to be easily manoevered under the cover of darkness...

so then I release the weapon of buzz destruction..

OMFG! the sound from under the cover was incredible!!! You could hear it 3m away easy...

Then I ran like the clappers....

Coming back few mins later to see the death toll...

Was at least 20mm deep mass grave

I continued to remove the cover and to light the bbq to give it a clean when I noticed some fatty looking substance on the top of the

side shelf thing....

Bit weird.. I clean it before I put it away for winter and no way was there fat there so I begun to wonder......

NO..... it can't be could it?

I slowly removed the rest of the cover only to find the HQ.

You going to custom make a sump gaurd or find a genuine one?
