  1. A red car suites shiney wheels quite well. Or if you want to keep that 80's look maybe some smaller two piece wheels. 15 or 16X8 weaved wheels. Or maybe a minilite kind of style.
  2. Wow awesome history. I want it. But I would want to drive it every day! Wouldn't be able to stop myself.
  3. THought it would be something like that. Will check it 2moro. Just pulled the one off the spare peddle box I have. Broken. lol
  4. My brake check light came on during the weekend. And found that I have no brake lights. Sometimes I get one though. Checked all the fuses and found a blowen one. Replaced it. Then about 20 mins later it popped again. Changed the two brake light bulbs just in case. Cleaned all the contacts for them. Is there any common faults I can check for?
  5. Beach Road off Mellons Bay road. Towards the bottom. Can't miss it if your BMW radar is turned on.
  6. No I havent been back. The car is in Howick. Reg is still alive though.
  7. 235.2hp/tonne but this figure is ATW not flywheel 117.6/litre Say if I loose 25% through the drivetrain that makes 294hp/tonne 147/litre But this is on my Nissan 180SX so I guess it doesn't count. Wonder how many horses got away in my 325 thats done 295,000kms. Will dyno next month. Oh and I just realised that the 180 weighs less than the standard weight now. Was just going by stock weight. No idea what it weighs now though.

    Ouch !!!

    Oh they were great until something went wrong. Then they just thought I wouldn't mind. I use to import damaged cars for years before the rule changes. My stories are not the worst of them floating around in NZ about Tau.
  9. Huh what? Your link goes to a vid of the DTM E30 M3. The real one. That isn't drifting.
  10. Yeah I have seen this happen a few times in Queen street. Felt real bad for some young dude driving his Dad's pride and joy Ford Falcon (Real old shape cool looking). Some big islander just opened his door, ripped him out jumped in, beat on the passengers till they ditched then took off. No insurance. Kid was driving it as a reward for passing his exams. All happened so fast nobody got a chance to help. Make sure your doors are always locked. Are Tazers legal in NZ? Might be a good idea to carry one? Or Mase.

    Ouch !!!

    Lets just say I purchased about 12 cars from them. The last batch was a disaster. Two 98 Legacy Wagons that were in a "Running and Driving" status. A 00 VR4 and an Evo 6. The Evo was stolen even before it left Japan. Took me months to get money back. 00 Vr4's suspention was meant to be fixed but they just tried welding the steering arms to the hub which of course broke. The two legacy's had snapped cam belts and needed engine rebuilds. They quite often lie about the damage on the cars. Some of the cars you see in the photos are not the cars you are getting.
  12. Most BMW's are slow to me. lol. But the 728 was a little quicker than I expected it to be. Will take some pics next time he washes it. Which is once every two months if its lucky. He is 18 and has a hot girlfriend. So his efforts are other places.

    Seat retriming

    Might just fix up that one cusion on the drivers side then. The interior is in pretty good nick. Even that trip computer thing still kinda goes. Well it tells the right time anyway. lol. Just shows Bimmersport people look after their cars.
  14. Yeah just steal the specs and have one made for you. I guess the $2500 is including Headers?
  15. My drivers seat is a little worn out. Guess from people getting in and out for the last 23 years. lol Just wondering if it is worth getting the two front seats retrimed. Or if I should just pick up a good condition second hand seat. Here is the seats. Are they easy to find?
  16. Hey guys and girls. Require a mint condition housing with sensors for an M20B20 motor. Mine is corroded to hell and missing some sensors. Bolts could be handy too. Cheers Dan. Please PM or ph me on 0211887733 Boogers wont let me hot link the pic. But this is what I am after. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...hg=11&fg=35

    Ouch !!!

    Ouch. Oh and as for Tau. Dont go near those lying pricks unless you only want parts cars. Dealt with them for 5 years and they still sh*t on me.
  18. My brother recently purchased an E38. But in Black. That gold is horrid. He has 20" black wheels on it. We only lowered it a little. As our driveway is a prick. Oh and his is also a 728. Which is faster than a 320. So dont just presume they are slow.
  19. Its bullshit. Someone posted up the Myth about it not long ago. Well the story about how they found all the cars is bull.
  20. Just wondering if there is a thicker sway bar I can replace my stock 325 one with. Is there a thicker one from another model of BMW that I could pick up second hand or do I need to get one new thats made for the E30 in particular. I want to stiffen up the rear a little more for a more slidey rear end.
  21. Can't remember the last time I past a horse on the road. Horse riders seem to take a bit more care though. And being an animal that can be scared by loud things I slow down for them.
  22. Nah NA is best. lol. Sick of turbo cars. 13" is pretty crazy. Guy in the Silvia club has 14" wide rims on his S13. Full widebody though. And it will drive like sh*t.
  23. Cars at the top of a driveway. Amazing it hasn't been broken into.
