    Awesome car. Top notch condition. Seen few that match it.

    Good to know. Will grab a few of them.
  3. I remember this car from years and years back. Spotted it this morning in Wellington whilst the dog was taking me for a walk.

    Went to buy some Castro 5w30 from Repco who has it for $55 a bottle. Thought I might as well get an oil filter too. $50 for a Ryco filter. A cheap paper cartridge filter. $50. FCP Euro. $5usd and it comes with all the new seals of which the Ryco did not. Actually the whole oil change kit from FCP is only $60usd. So f**k Repco. I will order it from FCP. I'm done with buying sh*t from Supercheap, Repco and the like. It's not even worth it for the small cheap stuff.

    Try some of the smaller guys. We have a local bunch down here (Wairarapa Glass). They were awesome recently when I replaced the screen on my oddball Daihatsu F78. I just stood around drinking a beer and yarned to the guy. He actually gave a sh*t about installing it correctly so as not to damage the frame and cause more rust.
  8. They need to Vantablack that grill so I can't pick out it's shape.

    Smith and Smith in Albany did what sounds like an equally as bad job on my old E30. Was an utter sh*t job.
  10. Go to any Midwest Murica Cars and Coffee. Saw a few of them. But walked straight past to be honest.

    No. But will tell you if the entire road is a bus lane at certain times of the day. Rich you should be on that bus. It only costs $7 each way and goes nowhere near where you would want to be. When it arrives is also a complete surprise.

    Well Google Maps gets most of it's data from Waze and Google owns Waze.
  13. Oh right. This forum software. I see what you mean now. Works on Phone perfectly. Doesn't work well at all on my PC. Both Brave Browser.
  14. Biggest forum in the world. I still use old.reddit.com But Reddit has got a serious case of internet cancer. Tencent owns a large chuck of them now. Actual internet cancer.

    I find the Wellington directions are all quite odd. Same for google maps. After a few runs in the wairarapa it seems to be learning the more efficient routes now. I leave it running even when I don't set a destination.

    Actually as I have said before. Most people use Waze in the US as a crowd sourced info app. Bad traffic. Speed Traps. Couches and mattresses on the road (fitting for West Auckland). And yes it displays the speed limits. And an accurate gps speed of the vehicle. I run it just for the info. I wish more people did.
  17. Sad to see another drivers car destined for someones garage in the hope that it will double their money.

    I have a number from when I once imported vehicles for a living back in the 2000's. But we are talking $20,000 items. Not $500 worth of car parts. I agree. You should not have to register unless you are frequently importing as a business or are bringing in expensive items. I would say they are trying to force you to go through an agent rather than register. Makes it easier for them. Their rules are out of date.
  19. Ah he did the old own and run a race car thing didn't he.
  20. Does anyone know the guy whom owns a number of these including that Rep M8. He might be interested in it. Being a manual.
  21. Yeah that's the one. Sitting where the cops usually sit going North between Lower and Upper Hutt. Sorry don't know Wellington that well yet.
  22. Abandoned E39 on the side of the highway between Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt. Smashed back windscreen. Looked to be on mpars. Silver and spray can black paint.
  23. Yeah either that or an aftermarket gps antenna.
