Saw POOFTA not long ago. Everyone at the lights was looking to see who it was.
-
At least the E30 Manifold is dead easy to get off. Pulling one off an SR20DET is such a pain in the ass. Putting the water and oil lines back on the block never goes right.
-
Both of those "Bling" rides are New Zealands very own version of Rice. No class at all. If your car didn't come with Chrome. Dont add it to it.

Haha the Haynes I have would suite him. It is meant to focus on the 320 but covers the 318 mostly. I would say it is 80% 318. Which is no good for me. And my god is it vague sometimes.
-
Yeah had a read of this today. I help run the Nissan Silvia club. It effects our whole club. lol Biofuel sux. And wouldn't over 70% of cars on the road here be old jap cars?

A 10-yr old BMW has the same features as a 2007 Nissan
Driftit replied to jochen's topic in General Discussion
My 1984 Toyota Soarer had a reversing camera too. It also had touch full climate control, adjustible suspention stiffness, full electrics. You better off comparing these features on cars that are the same age. And what you would pay for these features on your car now. Pretty good how the old BMW was able to have the camera just plugged in. Its usually never that easy. -
Ah sorry I was thinking Saffa's will now win but was meant to type Pom ref. He was right in line to see that forward pass. He ether missed it on purpose. Or was checking out a french guys ass. One or the other.
-
Why did we have a Saffa ref? How long till the conspiracy books come out on him. Sent off for getting in the way. Missed two vital forward french passes when he was in PRIME possition to see them. All Blacks played like sh*t though.

Been using my Xbox 360 control for GTR2 on the pc. Because the 360 control is already USB it is great. The thumb sticks are a bit touchy. But in the settings for the control you can adjust the dead zone so that it is a little less touchy. If you are going to get one for the pc. Get the 360 one. Its just plug and play. Althought the normal buttons are just analogue. Only the triggers and thumb sticks have full movement.

Thats a good way to get arrested and slapped with 300 hours of PD. Not Community Service. Hard working PD. My dumb ass mate did this. Bye bye Saturdays for 2 years. My BMW hasn't given me any trouble yet. I brought it for $1000. Sold the Mtech 1 kit for $800 worth of parts. The only complaint I have is that it has taken me so long to get it track ready. It has only gone today to get its sunroof removed and goes to Road Race and Rally soon to get its cage. Then comes the put all the new parts in stage. However my 180 has been a sh*t of the thing since I brought it. My previous ones have been fine. This one is cursed or something. Cost me $2000 to get a friggin little dent in the chassis rail removed so I could comply it. Then the car has run very rich for months for no apparent reason. LSD decided it didn't want to spin two wheels anymore. So I shimmed it. That failed about 3 weeks later and killed the diff. So I got a 2 way for it. And thats leaking now. So it has to come out again. Then at puke the other week the friggin ecu or fuel pump failed coming off the hairpin. And it melted a piston. So now I have two cars with there motors sitting on the garage floor.

Yeah its open from 10 - 10 too! Wait till the school holidays fin though. I love the Luge. Although last time I went with about 10 competitive mates and we ended up with some badly grazed thighs, ripped jeans, a grazed forehead, a sprained wrist and a 1 year ban between us. Oh and we told some poor asain tourist how to stop. "Just let go man" wonder if he has recovered his nuts yet. My mates are assholes.
-
Should just crank the new Auckland Luge. Havent seen it yet but heard it is good. Driving all the way to Rotovegas and back + the luge is pretty expensive.
-
In my 180SX. Nothing. It doesn't need anything. In my BMW. Half of its motor, its manual peddel box, an oil cooler, and some spiders.
-
I have that on my Xbox 1. And about 50 other N64 games. Still fun to play. And still 4 player too.
-
Here have a read of this. Made by someone who developes games for both. http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/review-348-1.htm

I nearly did the same thing to the National Sales manager at my old job. But my flatmate saw how fired up I was getting and knew what came next. So he stood in and told the manager to leave. Bloody lucky he did. But your situation is even worse mate. I may have done the same thing.

Well I have both an Xbox and the Xbox 360. The 20G HDD is fine. You wont fill it up very quickly. The 360 has a much better game list. And Crysys is no longer PS3 exclusive I dont think. The 360 is far cheaper. The extra HD drive you can get for it really works well too. Online gameplay is great. Infact I have played on the PS3 quite a bit at a mates and the Xboxlive feature the 360 has is sooooo much better than the PS3 online system. And online play in the UK is awesome! Always so many people on there. You can also download HD TV shows and movies direct through xboxlive. You do have to pay though. Dont bother with the PS3. Too expensive, no games, not that great online play, MUST have a HD TV to make it look any good. Oh and dont listen to anyone that says the PS3 has better graphics. It doesn't. Yet. As the developers are not using the full potential of the PS3. Infact most comparison tests show the 360 having better graphics and fps.

The E30 is the Drift car of choice in Europe. They are a dime a dozen over there. I have been into drifting since way before it took off in NZ. Have always wanted to build a solid little NA E30. The Euro "Driftking" drives a E30 with a NA S14 motor (Not silvia motor, BMW code) Drifting is not about power at all. Yes to keep up with the big boys in NZ you would need a ton of power though. Your main problem with the BM's is suspention costs. There is not many off the shelf bolt on parts in NZ that you will get cheap. Well compaired to say Silvia parts. Have a look at this vid. May have seen if before. This is the euro "Drift King" the car is powered by the S14 BMW motor. Ignore all the retard yanks comments thinking they know all. Will try and find the page with the specs for you. But the body is a stiff little thing. A mate of mine recently picked up a nice PFL E30 325I Manual with lsd from a Bimmersport member for very very cheap. Brown one. He is turning it into a little drift machine/road car. Buys all his after market parts from Ebay. Prices are not bad. I wouldn't bother trying to drift the 5 series unless you had a much bigger motor. But then you still have the major problem with finding suspention parts that can handle this style of driving. Stick to E30's. Or a cheap E36.

Ah yeah cheers for that. I have the two o-rings but am missing the washer. Trying to hunt it down.
-
Should there be two O ring seals on this breather pipe? Or does it just have one at the top? Or none at all. I cant remember. The gold colored pipe.
-
Could buy a RHD one from BMW UK for under 100K landed inc GST. Worth the savings though? What about the warranty stuff?
-
Only in America. She/He disturbs me.
-
He doesn't want big giant ultra heavy chomes. Chrome belongs on toilet fittings and 70's and early 80's cars. But it you can get decent looking wheels then he might be interested. No American styled junk though.
-
Needs to be put out of its misery.

Ah ok. So around the same as a Holden Commy.
