  1. Basically, if you paid $10 per meter, then its not suitable and won't be fuel injector rated When I was replacing the fuel lines on the 325 I was asking all these questions at various different places, Supercheap, Repco, Apco, BNT. They all told me don't use the cheaper stuff, I ended up buying the fuel injector rated hose from Repco for $25 a meter, the lady on the desk felt it was too expensive for just a silly hose and sold it to me at trade.
  2. Hmm, definitely interested in a set of these
  3. I had a play with WEP Cracking, you really need a fair bit of information travelling around the network in order to collect enough packets to allow it to be cracked successfully. Couldn't collect enough packets with normal web surfing, and took about an hour when transferring data over the wireless Once this was done though, only took about 15min to get the key. Was more an interest thing and switched everything back to WPA after that
  4. That is insane, just looking up the Specs Quick google just says M3 engine, 6 Cylinder, 24v, twin cam http://www.race-cars.com/carsold/other/116...162071598ss.htm A Full thread on the car including pictures ** for those who are members http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?p=154552
  5. Attempted to pull the E30 out of the garage, Purchased jump pack Pulled E30 out of the garage and gave it a wash Checked fluids -> Drive -> Success
  6. Hmm, I forgot about this type, add that one to the list of models of E30 to own one day. That is a very nice example of an E30 that someone spent a lot of money to purchase when new, I wonder how much all the options originally cost. Stock standard, and more so in PFL, the E30 isn't the prettiest car in its age bracket. a bit of love and care, a subtle kit with a nice new set of feet and a couple cm drop to remove some of that foot of air between the tire and the guard lip.. then it become a car that girls can at least appreciate. Many females I know don't find the E30s particularly good looking cars.
  7. Is she one of those types who feels the world owes her, for no apparent reason? an odd sense of entitlement for no good reason, just because she is? I know a few people like this, who feel they can do no wrong therefor anything bad that happens to them couldn't possibly be their fault, thus looking to anything / anyone to blame. Then again, can't help to try
  8. Hey Mikey, wanna grab me a spare front bumper if you have room? and any trim Mark wants to get rid of, could use a straight bumper for the 4 door, would be great for off car fiberglass kit work I am planning too. While you are at it, sneak into his room and steal back the rear spoiler I sold him a few months back, trust me to sell it then buy another E30 I'm kidding Mark, just gonna pull the wing completely off the 4 door most likely

    E30 Roll call

    Number 1: Number 2:
  10. I have no problems with parking wardens ticketing for parking issues, but they are gaining all these additional powers which I don't believe they should have without being sworn officers. Talking to a friend who is a warden, they can now ticket for license plate issues with car, such as incorrect plate or if its sitting in the windscreen.. i.e has to be attached to the car, even warrant and rego I believe should be left to the cops, even if it was noted and passed onto the police that's fine. At least if you get pulled up by the cops you can usually get the 30 days to get it sorted and they can check all the paperwork in the system. If the parking guys are ticketing for warrant and rego, they should be checking with the system, not just the displayed paperwork.
  11. I have had similar to the original issue, no warrant and reg, my diesel was out by about 1000k after a rather long road trip, now this is only a few days out on the reg and warrant, cop told me to get that sorted and I can just take ticket in and get off them. Due to the K's being out he never actually handed me a ticket, Car got warrant and rego the next day, but had no ticket to go see the cops about to get those parts waived Long story short, never got the ticket, 2 years later my parents (who previously owned that car) got a letter of seizure of the car for unpaid tickets, I was on the phone instantly trying to sort it out, turns out the cop had written my address wrong and the original ticket, the reminders, the reminder reminders, the "this has been passed onto the courts" the we are chasing you down.. etc etc, all went to the wrong address Basically I had to go through the whole go to the courts, show verification of address, prove I was innocent of avoiding the fines, it was then sent back to the cops who were supposed to send out the original ticket so I could dispute a few things, they again sent the ticket out to the wrong address When I eventually the addres resolved it was back at the courts and they wouldn't pass it back to the police, so I was unable to get off $400 they wouldn't remove the $100's of extra added bits and pieces they had added, ended up giving in and payed it off at $25 a week for a few years, total was somthing like $1800.. of that I should have paid somthing like $250 - $300 for the k's being over This was a fair few years ago, what I learnt, fines don't just not get sent out, they went somewhere, you didn't just get lucky, if they can screw up somthing, they will screw up somthing. Also, keep your diesel k's up to date, they charge a private vehicle the same as they would a commercial... LOTS
  12. Looks new That is a stunning example of a tech1 PFL E30
  13. Had me very close in Dunedin, Bus beside me, car in front and directly behind me, bus indicates and starts pulling over, I ended up with nowhere to go except the oncoming traffic lane, I ended up braking hard and pulling back into my lane about 4 cars behind where I had been. He was just pulling into the bus depo so I went and complained at the office, they didn't seem to care though.
  14. Most hardware stores will sell them off the shelf
  15. I had a Honda driver who didn't take too kindly to being overtaken, especially by a shitty old BMW. Took 3 hours of driving before he gave up the close tailgating. A couple of weeks back I witnessed a fella on a scooter have a bottle thrown at him from a riced up WRX, Dual lanes on the main st of Dunedin, I was behind the guy on the scooter Pull up to the next set of lights, guy on the scooter gets off beside the WRX ( he is wearing a full faced helmet) and starts yelling at the guy who threw the bottle, guy who threw it gets out of the WRX and obviously completely pissed starts chest pounding like he wants a go, fella on the scooter easily dodges a swing and with a single punch knocks this guy out, unfortunately the fella landed full on his scooter pushing it over in front of my car. Carload who were still in the WRX didn't know what to do, the lights went green, im stuck with a scooter and some drunk knocked out in front of my car, the guys in the WRX don't know if they should fight back or drag their mate out of the road. They ended up exchanging words with this guy and dragging their mate off and back into the car before "boosting" it up the hill at high speeds Guy on the scooter calmly gets back on, lights change, everyone goes their separate ways
  16. Is it just me, or is the main image no longer loading?
  17. Almost had this happen to me, Intersection -> ice -> back end slid out with a cop following me Cop's lights go on, pulls out of intersection his ass end slides out.. lights go off
  18. And I will follow this fantastic video up, with a thread full of pictures of this car http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91995
  19. Irfanview, if you want something that can do lots of great batch conversion things including resizing
  20. Well, the $1800 would include replacing the 4 slashed tires but still, $1800 is most likely almost a full respray quote from a panel beater.
  21. The second link actually does more than a paper clip though !! , but if you just want to get rid of service indicator, then paper clip
  22. This looks more like what you want http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.16549
  23. If I hadn't been sick, and had known about this, I would have dragged the Coupe out of the garage for a drive, should really just become a member of the local bmw club, I have enough of the business cards now.
  24. Good point, I was intending to do these as well, just slipped my mind What are AKG like to deal with? Delivery Times?
