Yeah that's it. Guy hasn't owned it long. You could have had it for a steal 4 years ago Jon. I couldn't move it back then. Isn't it amazing how many people want them now that they are going up in value. But they were worth nothing 10 years ago. I purchased that off Shelly for $5K. Chucked on some $400 BBS wheels nobody wanted. Cut some rust out. Rebuilt the diff and changed the oil. And thrashed the living sh*t out of it. Now for sale for $12K more.

I think forums need a warning the last reply was so many years ago message. But I appreciate people are searching and contributing. It could be worse. It could be Facebook groups where the same questions get asked every week because the search is useless and the knowledge just gets lost. And it is not searchable outside of Facebook. The Facebook era will be a massive loss of info when it finally dies one day.

Haha. I remember saying how this was a base model shitter a while back. Nothing about it is desirable at all. Color. Interior and Interior color. 318. Sunroof. PFL. Non Motorsport. Non collectible KM's. Terrible wheels/hubcaps. Cracked dash. Dodgy electronics. Wind up windows. No AC. Poverty Pack. Also failed it's last two warrants.

I think I paid $800 for some fully refurbished ones. But 17x9 and 17x8. I've never actually used them. I am hoping they are in boxes somewhere in one of my containers. Though I can't recall seeing them strangely.

It's just a very limited and expensive Ebay now.

Yup Gavin is great. I miss living in the area and having that on the spot access to so many parts.

I've never purchased from a dealer. And never will. Is it weird I feel like they don't deserve my money? If you can't find a car that you want from a private individual. Look at importing one yourself. I would never have had half the cars I have owned if I didn't bring them to NZ myself. Also a dealer burnt me when I was a kid. The very first time I tried to buy a car from one they tried to bump the price at the last min due to another person wanting the car too. After about a weeks negotiation and me having already got the finance for it. I had to walk away. I never financed another vehicle or went to another dealer it was such a sh*t experience. Maybe a new BMW one day. But only from BMW Munich.

I'm on the hunt too. Primarily IT based. But also relationship management. However Wellington is a strange market. Very much who you know. And all the recruitment has turned on Lazy Mode and automated the first step of application viewing. So if you are sending out applications make sure you include as many key words from their advertisement as you can.

My father in law loves showing up to bike events on his RD350 and RD400. That 2 stroke rasp is a real head turner. Sadly a few weeks ago a lady in an oversized SUV took a racing line into her driveway. Moved to the center line to take and unnecessary wide line into her drive way. Didn't indicate. FIL thought she was going right. Locked up and went into the side of her car. Freshly restored...

Thought about selling my plate as I haven't been into drifting since the mid 2000's. But I have had it so long I might as well just leave it on the race car and confuse people.

Isn't 3 letters and 3 numbers far cheaper. Or am I confusing this with the US system.

The way all the rental Corollas were driving at Cape Palliser yesterday I very much doubt it if a tourist picks it up.

Purchased a little place on Nelson Crescent. I actually really liked staying there for a few days. What brings you down this way? Lots of great E87 roads down here.

Anyone with a basic INPA/NCS setup could do this quickly for you. Lots of Youtube tutorials if they have the gear but not the know how. Most battery shops will do this for you too.

It's bloody annoying that these type of people turn up to Bike Racing which is all Jap/Euro bikes and proceed to act like superior assholes. Can't stand their frilly tassel man bags or their sh*t attitudes. And sadly the majority of people I have met whom ride these bikes all act the same way.

It was two car dealers with the Autobids. Rose City and Pearce Bros. And now it is Camu vs Rose City.

Yeah that's the one. Was house sitting my parents house in Napier. Was parked over the road.

Unlikely. I see you are the only non Car Dealer bidding. Once they buy it for a stupid amount of money you will be able to buy it from them the same day for slightly more.

Really nice E36 M3 with pplate EVO something on Nelson Cres in Napier two days ago. Anyone here?

Went to the Whanganui Cemetery circuit race on Boxing Day. It was great. However all the wankers on their lame Harley style bikes riding like utter f**k wits ruined the trip there and back. And the cops did nothing. Because they were most likely gang members whom wouldn't stop anyway.

Logans is better. Advertised on this site too. Auction M5. Haha hell no.

Nice 12 year old thread dig.

Yeah I just discovered that in the programming options. Increments of 10 only.

I don't have stop/start and going by how the battery looks for the shitty photo I have I think it is non AGM. Anywhere I should go in Wellington to get one today Olaf? Also just realised the REPCO batteries are the YUASA brand.

Hey guys, Quick question here before I move it to Electrical. Our little 1 series battery is on the way out. It's currently not on hand to check the numbers. But I am heading to Wellington today and would like to grab one for it. All I have scribbled down in some notes is that it is currently 680CCA 75AH. But I have no idea if it is AGM or not. Anyone know if this car requires an AGM battery? What is your recommended brands. BMW wants a little too much for a standard battery. $612.
