  1. I need to do this soon too. I'm guessing it will be the standard 75w90 Castrol?
  2. Really depends where they are getting the rotors from. If they are not a recognizable brand then it could be a terrible deal. The "White Box" rotors ADL once supplied cost less than $10 to bring into the country. I was swapping them out after every race weekend on my E30. Absolute junk. But I would rather chew through crap rotors than the expensive project mu and padgid brake pads I had.
  3. Will have a chat to James about it.
  4. Seriously... That is f**king annoying. Sorry to hear that.
  5. Seems quite a few of you are getting Inbox spam. If you do please just report it. It seems they have created the accounts and went through the user list sending private messages.
  6. Oh nice. I currently have zero shelter and a growing list of maintenance.
  7. What's the 8cyl N52 like? 😊
  8. M30. Just like an M20 but bigger and better. Pretty simple really.
  9. I have two tech 1 wheels. I plan to swap them for someone's house in a few years.
  10. No good down here on rural roads. Will just aggressively follow the ruts. But I can also honestly say I have never had understeer in this vehicle. Even on the track.
  11. Pretty standard tyre fitting monkeys down here. They know how to use the machine and that's about it.
  12. Yeah I think I will just order the correct ones tonight and take the hit on the fitting and balancing.
  13. Yeah it is not too far off.
  14. Will snap a photo tomorrow. I think the 235 looks weird. Will take a vote.
  15. What size tyres is everyone running on their 130's with 18s? I finally replaced the tyres since I purchased the car from @GorGasm a few years back. And promptly F'd that up by buying the wrong fronts. Had been running 225/40/118 and 255/35/18 Now its running 235/40/18 and 255/35/18 About a 1.5% increase in diameter on the front and a little wider of course. Not sure I like it.
  16. But what kind of dumb f**kery is this? I can only find 2 of my 4. Which is really really annoying. Haha.
  17. I would say so. I have read nothing of them being produced in RHD. And it's highly unlikely Ford would bother with NZ/Aus as you said. NZ is going to become incredibly expensive in the next 10 years. Even more so than it already is.
  18. Lets add that to the exceptions list. But also tag it as Beyond acceptable level of Fugly.
  19. I have been thinking about an Electric car as a commuter. I can charge it at work for free. New House will have a large Solar array. Then I started looking at what's around. Affordable Aesthetically Pleasing Not a Nissan Leaf Pick one.
  20. It's a 4 door E46. Nobody cares if it's not pure.
  21. I'm not sure why I never noticed. Too busy building a house and shed. But this E34 is not a TDS at all. It's a TD. You can actually see in the engine bay photo. Intake goes straight to the turbo. No intercooler. It has quite a bit less power than a TDS. So I am looking for an intercooler and a TDS ECU which I will then chip.
  22. Oh wow. Look at that chode of a thing. It looks like a Chinese copy of something terrible.
  23. Changed the glow plugs on the E34 today. Pretty quick job. Though the gaskets I had were not correct so I used liquid gasket as a temporary solution. Fun times scrapping that off. Next is the leaking injector. Which is number 4. The hard one with the sensor. Diesels are fun.
