Shorty

Not quite sure how low it is, but it wasn't under 100mm. It's lower then Motorsport height.

Agree!! should be part of licence test. Also I think it should be compulsory to be able to put petrol in your car (My mum still doesn't now how - she always gets the attendent to do it) and also changing a flat tyre should also be part of licence test - it amazes me how many people don't know how to do it.

Cheers will give this a go. I don't have proof that the car has been running. But the guy said that he got the 2nd hand engine put in, drove it for a wee while then the auto trans started slipping so he parked it up and left it for a few months.

There may possibly be a set of E36 coupe Koni Shocks and Springs (lowered) for sale, will keep you all posted, just need to see the condition of the left front, but so far its looking good. $350 for the set.

Hi all, hope you had a great xmas. I did, managed to get my car back ready to strip for parts, will add some photos to the for sale section. And I picked up a 1998 E46 318i sedan for super cheap.. The car has had a second hand engine installed, and not long after that the transmission apparantly crapped out. Which is fine by me as I will convert to manual if the trans had died. Went to pick the car up yesterday it is a complete mess, needs a lot of elbow grease, and it had a flat battery which had been disconnected. Took dad and his 5 series, a spare charged battery, jumper leads and a jumper pack. connected the charged battery, lights come on.. no start. Used all other methods mentioned above... no start. All the lights come on, air con, radio etc all work, so there is definitly enough power. Yet turn the key and the starter motor doesn't even try to kick it over. Almost as if the engine has been immobilised. The central locking doesn't work, not sure if the battery in the key is flat or whether that is another issue as the red led on the key flashed when i pressed the button.. Do I need to reset something? Help Please

I can't remember what I thought the issue was the first time.. I was at work and it was pouring with rain, and the water was leaking into the front of the car through the firewall. Anyway the car wouldn't start so towed it home, and pulled the bonnet off and the cowl pannel, and what do i find, water. The drainage system was blocked, so I pulled the rubber over flow tubes out, and unblocked them, stuck them back in and emptied out the drain. The reason for the car not starting was that the water had leaked through into the ECU chamber, and the ECU had managed to get water inside. I pulled that out, had an auto electrician look at it, and put it in hot water cupboard to dry it out.. sealed it up, and plugged it back in and magic, she started, purred, and was completely fine. Never had an issue since.. Until the 4th December when I wrote her off.. She is now sitting in my garage waiting to be stripped for parts.

Yea dad still bring in the odd car every now and then, but he's going through the mini phase again.. and I mean old skool mini's lol.. Mum drives a 2007 1 series so shes happy with that for now. I don't have an AMG Merc, probably wouldn't mind one though. Dad's 5 series seems to tow alright, he has had to do the trans in it though, but the one I'm interested in has just had that done. So may be a goer, until I can afford a V8 Commodore and a E46 or E30 M3 lol.. By the way those that are interested in any parts from my coupe, let me know, bear in mind that the front is pretty much gone or anyone interested in the manual conversion hit me up with an offer I can't refuse and will look in to getting that out of her first.

We bought a boat last year around March, took it out every chance we got over winter - there were some mint days.. Took it out today, got a few snapper... we head out from Kawakawa bay to the back of Waiheke or to Coromandel, takes about 40 mins (if its rough) to get there.. still looking for our "secret" fishing spot, but we always at least bring home dinner lol yum!

Yea I could have bought something in i guess, but last time it cost me too much lol.. may look in to an e39 to tow the boat.

My baby is coming home for Christmas (well hopefully for Christmas!)

Try the warehouse I got mine from there on the release date for $97 Will post the id when I log on next, as I can't remember it, one of the boyfriends mates set it up and gave a stupid name!

I spoke to them, have sent them my signed papers, but I am waiting for them to get back to me with a salvage price. Hopefully hear back tomorrow.. Otherwise, may just have to let her go, its getting way to close to Christmas and I need the money to find a car over xmas if I don't get the wreck back.

Yea I thought it was quite weird! Will have a chat to them on Monday.

Cool thanks guys, just wanted to make sure I wasn't getting ripped off

The problem with BMW's is that the market has such huge variences in it.. They offered 5,800 for it, but my excess is 700 which sucks, however, with a bit of luck they stuffed that up.. (I was under the impression that my excess was $450) Plus because I noted on my policy that i had a stereo system in there they took $1000 off the claim, but the stereo isn't worth that much, so will have to see what I can do there, maybe just give it back to them! I would have thought the car was worth around the $6500 mark...
