I don't think there is any racing in March next year for the series.
-
Damn was hoping to get at least a little bit for my one Fingers crossed your 3rd gear syncro's are not stuffed. Pretty sure they are twin syncros in this box. If it does need some love send it up here to Kayne Barrie. Knows his stuff.

The importance of pre-purchase inspections/inspecting thoroughly
Driftit replied to andrewm's topic in General Discussion
Interesting. A guy at my work who liked my E60 then went and purchased an 05 X3. It broke down on the way home from the dealer. Two coil packs had died. Not more than a week later he went on a road trip and was stranded with his family in Keri Keri. Went into limp mode and gearbox was not sounding good. Ended up costing around $5000 to sort that issue. Not sure what it was exactly. With many an argument he returned the car for a full refund and they covered all his expenses of having to hire a rental car etc. Went and purchased a Honda Acco..yawn.. But will not ever purchase another BMW due to this poor experience. Just another neglected BMW -
Not heard of it. Link?

I could have helped but I am leaving NZ in late Feb sorry. All my cars will be sold by then.
-
Just a heads up. The sedan has less back seat room than the coupe. Only bonus is ease of getting into the car.
-
It's not turbo. Still a nice car though. It was often at the car shows attached to the race events.
-
He hasn't been on here since Aug 2014. No longer a sponsor. His deals were not all that sh*t hot anyway. The sparco gear he had listed was about 30% more expensive than what Cardwells sold it for.

E60 Motorsport front bumper getting pulled off all the time........
Driftit replied to NUSTAD's topic in General Discussion
Really there should be a maximum height these things can be. The ones in my work carpark are fine. Quite low, reflective and they still stop people from driving into the wall. -
E60 Motorsport front bumper getting pulled off all the time........
Driftit replied to NUSTAD's topic in General Discussion
Ha this happened to us the other week. Same side pulled off too. But this time it damaged all the paint and slightly creased it. It was a larger than normal bumper destroyer though. Going in to get repaired next week. It was the first time it has ever caught though. Many years of owning lowered cars has taught me never to park forwards over these pointless things. Momentary lapse by the Mrs parking in the dark one night. -
This. Kayne takes no short cuts when it comes to BMW drive lines.
-
I did go and have a look. But even 25% was far more expensive than what Supercheap was selling. So yeah there must be some losses going on.
-
Cheers. I went to go get some Valvolene they had at a great price two weekends back and it was all sold out. You need to get in there real early.

An observation from E39 540m to E30 323
Driftit replied to LemonHunter's topic in General Discussion
The perfect E30 setup is what Josh and James has and had in their E30's, Passing dirty super beetles in James' E30 at Puke race track was great. But there is nothing wrong with sticking with the cheap old easy to maintain M20. You can get some respectable power out of them. B25 Block with B20 pistons and a M50B28 crank. Re-mapped Motronic 1.3 and you are away laughing. For not a lot of money. Otherwise go M50. I am meant to be selling my E30. But I just don't want to. It is too much fun. -
Isn't this what Tesla wanted? They did release all patents for the tech after all.
-
Pod filter or no pod filter on e30?
Driftit replied to E36ShoppingTrolley's topic in General Discussion
Bit of an old thread. But you will get gains with a shielded cold air intake. Best to research designs or have a look at some of the race series cars if you ever have the chance. -
Mixed reviews for the app. Might all depend on what adapter you buy.
-
All now claimed sorry.
-
have a search under the general section of the forum for insurance stuff. I had a similar thing happen to me with State around 12 years back. And have heard a similar story every year since.
-
Just wondering. Did you search for something that brought up that thread? Or was it just at the top of your list? May not have been your fault mate.
-
You just replied to a 6 year old thread. Please avoid doing this.
-
Updated as some parts have been claimed.

Free E30 stuff. Catch is you must pick up this weekend. 19/09 and 20/09 till mid day. Otherwise it is off to the dump. E30 bonnet in black. Clear coat is gone. Little surface rust has bubbled the paint under the badge. E30 RF Fender. Diamond Schwartz. Little rust at bottom but could be saved. E30 Drivers Door for coupe. Diamond Schwartz. Motorsport trim color. Couple of scratches. No glass. Has a factory 2nd lock for the original alarm. E30 glass for coupe. 35% tint film on all pieces. Motorsport trim color for rear quarters. Rear Screen RH and LH quarter glass RH and LH door glass. E30 Front Subframe for M20 motor. Mounts in pic do not come with it. E30 M20B25 factory oil cooler. Not great condition but can be cleaned up. 4 x steel wheels with old tyres. Good for skids only. Or great for chucking on the car whilst you clean up your wheels. 4x100. Cheers Dan 0211887733

Seats made in the Caribbean.. what. Just hunt down some stock motorsport seats. There has been quite a few sets up for sale this year on this forum alone. Make sure you are getting 4 door seats as they are different. If you are not willing to hunt locally and be a little patient for the parts you want you are going to burn money and build a Frankenstein's monster. Get to know the community and the BMW parts guys and you will find the bits you are after.

Nice I went the LG way. 60" UHD with a 9.1 surround. Pretty cheap these days.
