Haha, same as me, KYB and VOGTLAND.. I find them really floaty at the front, more so than standard!!

I think AV gas also has antifreeze in it and is less effective than just plain old 98. Im trying to palm two thirds off glen as im only keen for a third for an upcoming track day.

Looks sh*t hot, has come down nicely. What springs did you end up using in the front?? Im not happy with mine. What car was granny driving.

Nice, throw a hayabusa engine in it and youd be away!

Um, you need to accelerate to get to a top speed don’t you?? I could put my 2E 1.3 engine in my 1300kg E30 and I bet it wouldn’t go as fast top end as it does in the 800kg Corolla.

More pictures?? Did you buy your car from a chap in Karaka?? When i was a kid our neighbours had a car very similar to yours. If they fit and suited a E60 I would offer you $2,000 for them.

Welcome to Bimmersport mate, you can join the new found “white E46†club. Great colour. Needs a German plate and some colour coding

Cool, that Ben guy really wants it at $30..

I wouldn’t say that, the SR20-DET is pretty weak stock with the exception of the few S15 180kw version’s they were only 150kw which is bugger all, I drove a stock NZ new 200SX years ago and it was quite slow actually. The RB-20DET was 158kw and RB25DET series one had 184kw and series two had 206kw. But yea single turbo VVTI 1JZ-GTE goodness FTW. These will still set you back 5k from a wrecker.

true, Sorry it was air-freighted so it’s the current (sep) issue, I called and most bookshops have it for around $13.00 but it’s a month behind.

Purchased this last week from the magazine shop at Sylvia park, was $22 and IMO overpriced for its content. Some interesting E30 facts none the less and a guide on how to fix the 5 series shimmy. Also noticed the 2.7 build guide is the same as someone posted on E30Zone. Performance BMW seems like a better publication and is cheaper.

True, my neighbour has that exact car and he thinks it’s vital to warm it up every morning for 5 minutes before departing for work, I actually think he believes it to be a Supra RZ.

Ok. But it would eliminate most of the annoyingly load cars out there wouldn’t it.. You know, the guy with a Toyota Levin 1.5 with a RPS fart cannon.

10 points. love white, so cool write now and the carbon contrasts nicely. Same wheels as my 545i.

V8’s should be allowed to be a tad louder as they sound mean! Mazda Rotary powered vehicles are what get to me, not all of them but some of the older ones that “pulse†in that Brap Brap Brap Brap annoying way should be made to run 5 mufflers. They should turn the break strength tester as the testing station into a dynameter and make sure all cars that are even remotely loud put out over 100KW ATW for a WOF pass.

Yes I meant F20C I really like that engine, one of the best to come out of Japan, add a Supercharger to curb the lack of low down torque and youd be flying. It’s quite a bit heavier believe it or not, but there weight is justified by their strength, you can boost the heck out of them before they pop unlike the SR20. A Lexus V8 is a good option as it is reasonably light.

Nice, cool looking kit and mirrors, they look genuine. De-chromed rub strips look nice too. NZ new car? Welcome to BS

X2. RB-20/25’s are a very heavy engine though. Given I was going to transplant a Jap engine I would go with a Supercharged FC-20.

Good stuff. Pic's or ban

Meguiars versa angle wheel brush. Window cleaner and one of these make it easy mate! Best brush I have ever owned, go for short handled if anyone gets one, long handle is pointless.

Why not just get some new ones stamped from VTNZ then?? It won’t cost much. Sand blast them back to bare metal, mask the digits and spray may black.

That is very cool, if I didn’t have too many cars and a two full garages I would be in like flin.. so retro cool.

I don’t know, power to weight they would be a near match but the Carlton was very slippery and had a very low ratio gear box. Would be a cool race though. Throw in the new M5 bruising HSV W427 now that would defiantly do 300KPH.
