You don't need to warm up the HP+ pads. You are not going to come to a stop sign and sail on through on a cold morning. They are just much more effective when hot. There is no harm in running them on the street. You will wear your rotors a bit quicker though. Realistically how much track work are you going to do? And how hard are you going to push? Standing on the brakes after the 100M mark at 200KPH for turn 1 at hampton for 10 laps at 100%? Then the HP+. The stock E46 is a fat car though. With the HP+ you prob won't reach their limits which could give you good peace of mind. I was going to see if I could sneak in a fluid pressure bleeder into your order. But the shipping for it is a joke at $70USD. The item is only $99USD.... Edit: Just realised I pretty much said exactly what Dave said. I just hadn't refreshed the page. Haha

Hey have you placed your order already? I have been wanting to get a pressure bleeder from them every time I go to the website.

Wow first time that story has ever checked out. Nice.

For brake fluid go and see Exedy in Wairau. They also do Elf oils. Motul 600. Don't bother with the 660. Hawk, Endless or Stock for pads. Decent semi track pads in the front and stock in the rear is a good combo. Mintex 1166 will be shot after one race weekend in my old E30. Not enough value for the $. EBC are sh*t. They fell apart in both my E30 and E34. Bushes get from overseas or get them made by Dan Slater. But his will be solid and will need replacing more often. But no movement. See Kayne Barrie for Hawk.

Ah the old car dealer Drug Runner story. Is it legit or does it fit in with the other 30 odd cars with this story? Unless there is a news article showing the car, it is one story I just nod and smile too.

Followed some idiot in a brand new 1 or 2 series convertible to the airport. They were struggling to see in the rain doing 70 on the motorway. Would help if you turned your headlights on.. Another muppet using just the rice rings.

Oh sh*t. Been looking for one for a while Dave. But the 3.46 is no good to me. Damn.

Function over form mate. You have it right.

Did you polish her Crunchy? Haha.

Hahaha wow I have never seen such old listings. What a joke.

Had a look over a genuine E21 Alpina B7 Turbo today. Is sitting in Burgers Motor Works in Wairau Valley. Awesome looking machine. He was telling me that the owner picked it up for around $10K not going. It is now going and worth much much much more than that. Wouldn't swap for my E60

Word. Get in before the hype or wait till its over. Profit/Save. Like Drifting. Got in before the hype. Got my drift nissans for bugger all. Sold them with much much drift tax once the hype started. Stuck with the dumb user name and number plate though.

8AM - Faro Fresh - Constellation Road. Any later than 10am and you are dreaming. I got some well before the hype started. Loved it. But won't touch it again until the hype is off.

Just bringing my spare car parts over

Damn. Offset and that little 8" no good for me.

Yeah not so exciting from the sideline lol. Like watching rush hour in Otahuhu. But less contact and not as many drunk drivers.

What Jon said. Possible that I would be interested in some gearboxes and diffs. Any chance we can avoid GST? E.g. is this household items for a move or is the guy just importing stuff.

Agree. Would want the originals not these fakes. I did see a black E60 M4 at Jerry Claytons on the weekend. Black dished 21" wheels. Nearly suited it.

Yeah that's the one.

Road bike racing. Its about as exciting as having to watch your 12 year old daughters gymnastics event. Surprisingly all the riders have the same body frame as a 12 year old girl. They have hissy fits like them too. Watch out!!! There is a slippery curb! oooohhhh he fell off and can't pick it up again...

Spotted the same broken down ACS E39 540i now driving. Has an american sports team related plate I can't remember. Lives around the Oteha Valley area. Sounds and looks good. Even though it is a strange color. Kit suites it. Also to the gumby in an E39 520i on the Southern Motorway last night who decided it was cooler looking to switch his headlights off and just have his rice rings on whilst driving at night. He initially had his proper low beams on till he caught up to me. Then switched it to rice ring mode only for show time.

Used these guys last time. Was a lot cheaper than Pelican due to shipping.

No V8 manuals. Just the turbo models. And it was something like 2 or 3 % of them.

Yeah I found them a bit gutless. Just a big cruiser. I was looking to buy a 1JZ version or an Aristo back in 1999. They were cheap as chips back then. But a factory manual didn't show up in time and we purchased some other cars. One showed up 1 week later....

Bump. Any ratio considered. What have you got?
