Driftit

I watched some guy reverse hard into a parked car at Albany Mall one night a few weeks back. He looked then took off in a hurry. I left a note on the car with all the guys details. He called me later on that night. A English bloke who was very happy I had. Was quite a bit of damage.

They will be 8's and 9's huh?

Wouldn't catch me paying that much for those KM's.

It is amazing how little effort they put into reading complaints or letters of contest. I got fined for parking in a cycle lane which had not been painted at the time. Was due to be the following week. Took 2 months of back and forth letters for them to drop it. The whole time they added late fees.

No they can. They control the parking spaces along there. Also if you park along where the Panel shops are on the footpath. You can argue it. They will drag it out adding late penalties. You will still end up paying.

There is parking on the strand. They will enforce it. You didn't park along there to walk to Uni did you. Rookie mistake.

Good old Brobaroos. My one that your old man brought into the country for me got nicked too. I remember a customer of his at the time purchased a coupe that he had built up into a V5 STI. They parked somewhere on the way home from buying it and it was stolen. No insurance. That was a long time ago though.

I actually enjoyed the Night racing. Just focused on what is in front of me. Only issue was that some of the big budget drivers were very uncertain and oblivious to cars coming from behind them.

Time to get that cage and join us Josh. Perfect promo car for your equipment.

Auto for my road car. Manual for my race car. Stuff sitting in traffic with a manual. Rather have an Auto for towing my racecar too. Cruise control. Steer. Only other thing to worry about is the wankers around you.

It went BOOOOOOMMM nakanakakakkakakaka. As its rods flew out today. They are currently looking for another motor.

Race version here in NZ.

Well sorry guys. Bit of Ring failure didn't let us start. Is a real shame as we had some serious pace. Bit from James. To finish first, first you must finish. We started the weekend showing great potential in what the car could be capable of, the only problem was that the #1 cylinder kept dropping 10psi after every session, by this morning it was down to 150psi, much below the other 5. The drop in compression wasn't slowing us, it was the fact it was pumping the oil into the catch can and overflowing due to blow by. We decided to call it quits while the motor is still in running condition and rebuild it before the Hampton Downs round. With a bit of luck all that will be needed are some new rings and gaskets. A big thanks to Kayne Barrie, your advise was invaluable and its only because of you I now have a fully functional braking system, let's hope you are doing the Hampton Downs round so we can use it against you when we have a fully functional motor A big thanks to our sponsors Bimmersport.co.nz for the cool livery, we got heaps of comments about how good the car looked. A big thanks to Gull Motorsport, sure we didn't finish, but damn the car was pulling hard on Force 10, I would have never have thought the E30 would be able to out drag a Porsche GT3 before. Lastly a little blurb to let it all out. I am pretty gutted that cylinder 1 has decided to have issues, we were flying in the night session with old semi slicks, passing pretty much everything with ease, I even out dragged a few Porsche GT3's before passing a Juno round the outside at turn 1 (at 210km/h) in the dark. The next morning Kayne helped us sort the brake bias and then we fitted new michelin slicks, damn, without even doing a flying lap I managed to do a 1:14 flat, it was only when I came over the hill to do my flying lap's that I got the "oh sh*t this car has a lot of grip" moment when I managed to swerve around 2 cars coming over the hill without lifting at all from the hairpin onwards. The car would have done 12's easy and the fact we only had to pit once (others are 3-5 times) for fuel meant that we were effectively doing 2 seconds faster per lap relative to the other cars (a 1:10 effectively). I can't wait to see how the car goes at Hampton! And a little vid from our Night qualifier. Damn Porches and E92 M3's getting in the way Pretty much what you see in the Vid is what I could see. That Green light along the back straight was bloody annoying. Stupid Train signal!

My E60 came with Run Flats. The old owner drove from Hokitika to Chch all throughout the week. They were ditched for a full size wheel pretty early on. So now I have a full size wheel in my boot and no run flats. I got an electric hydraulic jack and a wheel brace. But still have a good amount of space taken up. The BMW mobility kit is recommended if you are just driving around town.

I hope to avoid this buy only driving the E34 on the track. Somehow I still feel it will make its way through someones fence. Keep your pets around the back of the house. It shouldn't make it that far.

If you want to play with a clutch by an old 3 series. B5 is an Autobahn Stormer. Drving around in an E55 AMG with the big supercharger there is no way you could have a manual and be able to drive it in a manor that is A: Respectable B: Not going backwards through peoples houses towing their fence and pets with you. I can imagine the B5 would be very similar.

So true. The Mrs carries a set of coil packs in the boot of her 200sx at all times. They like to melt.

There is already one of these in NZ based in Auckland. Have seen it at BMW Mt Wellington HQ a number of times.

Got quoted nearly a thousand from a local stitch shop. Looks like I will go with the cobywheels guys. I emailed them and they are happy with me sending them an Ebay wheel to swap out. So I will just buy a sh*t one for $100USD and have it covered. Now to see what wheels fit the E34 that I can do this to.

Hey People, Does anyone know where I can take my E60 steering wheel to get restored? Has slight wear on it I want to get fixed. Prefer somewhere in Auckland that can do a close to OEM quality job. Otherwise I will just buy another frame from the US for around $300. I was thinking of doing this also. http://cobywheel.com/

Yup no issues here either. Sent from my GT-P5100 using Tapatalk

Netflix blocks everyone outside of the US anyway. I followed this guide and used unblock.us http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2013/11/how-to-stream-netflix-and-hulu-in-australia-and-other-stuff-geoblockers-dont-want-known/ If there is an NZ ISP that is shaping links to VPN's they will be doing so illegally. As it should be a secure private connection. Only Torrents and P2P can be throttled.

THB. Sell everything and buy this. http://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/49446-e30-race-car/ All ready to go. Can run as road car and even join the BMW series.

I will have to check. Been watching mostly downloads and youtube over the last week.
