    No Reserve FERRARI

    This is an F40... or quite a few rather. http://www10.plala.or.jp/club40/20ann/ very cool. The 456 and 550 do look similer. The 456 is a 4 seater.

  3. Sounds great! **Runs off to the exhaust shop**
  4. Sorry I should have wrote, they have the same product in five different containers.. I didn’t do well at school

    Drift e30

    And JZ aren’t!! They are old boots mate. Would have gone 1JZ-GTE myself. Sorry to dredge this up but I have just been to magwarehouse.com Panmure and Nathan informs me they stock these wheels in E30 sizes and offsets, they look dam fine too!
  6. Knowing Meguiars they will have five products the same in five different containers targeting 5 different markets.. Their range is massive!
  7. I must have selected quote from somewhere else and it followed me in here Im itching to get a deeper note out of mine, im sick of having to tell people it’s a V8, they should be able to hear it! Cant wait to hear the results.
  8. Good tip, haven’t heard that one before! I was told to use a metal polish but can recommend no one tries it as I wrecked my headlight! As said a light cut like T-CUT should do a good job followed up with a polish. The key ingredient is elbow grease. Im keen to try that Plastic X from Meguiars as their scratch X for body work is fantastic.
  9. Good stuff. You have given me an idea
  10. He said 'torsion bar rear end’, of which the Astra did not have. Only way I could get mine sideways was under very heavy breaking. Anyone who is writing about something in a publication should get things write, he has probably never driven an Astra and knows nothing about them. It’s not just the Torsion comment it’s the fact he has a link to a car that’s not even a VXR.. Not that it bothers me as I sold it! Yawn **falls asleep thinking about Astra**
  11. Im not sour I wished you good luck. I didn’t understand the rest of what you wrote sorry. Does it illuminate? If so I may have a buyer.
  12. Ah I should know about MOD. He is a muppet. That’s not even a astra VXR and they don’t run torsen, it’s my old car pictured BTW I got a free Trade-Me credit.
  13. The 3.0 5-Speed is actually quite desirable as it’s tough as nails and a better car for racing. Id sooner a 3.0L 5-Speed than a 3.2 with auto manual. What’s with the “mutton dressed as lamb†wheels on this car ad who is MOD?
  14. I understand the economics of it all. But traction control is not a substitute, I have driven lots of Holden’s with 250+kw and found them to be great, no loss of traction and no annoying traction control kicking in to make the driver head but the steering wheel on take off due to too much power overwhelming one wheel. Went for an awesome drive through Hunua on the weekend and ended up very frustrated with the TC killing the fun every time I powered out of a corner so I turned it off and the car just kept spinning one wheel slowing progress and wasting tire. If Holden and most of the Japanese companies can afford to fit LSD on cars costing half as much why can’t BMW? I can only imagine how gay a 335i would be to drive. At least throw them on the Motorsport cars.
  15. Thanks have already looked into this. Looking at about $2,300 fitted. IMHO this is the only mod needed on the V8 five series, the open diff is its Achilles’ heel. I thought it had one, it’s not something you can generally test out on a test drive, majorly disappointed as it to me seems very dumb not fitting one, my old 1994 Holden SS had one FFS! Well pissed off with BMW! Sorry about the tread jack, its semi relevant.
  16. I think the green thing is a Toyota Celica.
  17. Was just looking at a Hamann or AC rear lip spoiler as I don’t like the factory style. Am getting a few bits repainted as im fussy, I said to the painter I would like to have a rear spoiler painted also and he recommended getting one and doing the lot at once.
  18. Haha good luck with the sale mate, If I was to fit that to my car I would imagine I would get some looks that’s for sure, probably the wrong type of looks from other men. There are things that are cool to copy from the Japanese and things that should stay in Japan. Like Panty vending machines these should stay.
  19. Quick question. Who sells AC/Schnitzler or Hamann parts in NZ?
  20. Found this interesting and started off in sport 1st in mine, and bugger me you were write, makes a huge difference. Also found I can take off in third. One thing that would help in these cars would be an LSD.

    So about 4k for a decent Touring, or under half what they are worth here! Rarity determines what a punter will pay.
  22. My old E39 did it, it would turn on and mist the windows.. had a mind of its own that car Im sure the E30 has a hamster on a wheel powering the Air-Con and doesn’t seem to actually do anything.. The E60 requires a masters degree to operate before choosing from about 12 settings for each zone as to where you want air blown.. but it’s still remains off if you want it off.

    Owners Manual

    Ok I was searching for a BMW owners manual and this come up.. Not sure why 'BMW' and 'Penis' come into the same googal search category Very funny. http://www.vasectomy-information.com/humor/manual.htm
  24. Wanted: E60 owner’s manual. I have lost mine already, took it out of the car to do some study and can’t find it anywhere.
