  1. Testing days are for having fun, driver training days are just that, driver training, so how can they be overrated? If you want to learn something useful instead of just hitting a track 'thinking' you know what you're doing then the training days are all good, but not worth paying $400+ for.
  2. Eww Andy, what have you picked up...dodgy

    Yeah, but count the wrongs Stolen 4x4 Speeding in residential area Driving through reds and on footpaths Trying to run from cops Trying to run from Eagle helicopter Trying to drive a 4x4 like a car 4x4 body roll ownage Ultimate self ownage See, now if it were an E30 that joker would still be living, 1 less crim and 1 less 4x4
  4. Rear wheel drives make the best towing vehicles, do it, the auto box will at least give you some decent pull as you rev it to 6000rpm
  5. 420 wKw from a 2.6 turbo'd...someone turbo their 2.5!!! bad bad bad
  6. K&N flat panel Didn't notice a difference in performance although the exhaust note sounded louder which wasn't what I was after

    Racing Fuel

    I've run 91, 96, 98, and used octane booster on the 98 and haven't notice a bloody difference between any of them for power. The 98 certainly gives better milage and the 91 runs like sh*t on a cold morning. I just use the ultimate cause it's just plain better even if I can't notice a power difference. E: In summary, what's the point in using the racing fuel if you can't notice a diff between 91 and 98.

    Count the number of wrongs in this article linkizzle
  9. We've had a meet in Taupo, Ohakune, and Auckland, it's time for Wellington :mosh:
  10. You don't need the oil cooler Mike, most of the 325 guys i've seen have removed them for the weight gains.
  11. Isn't that where you get your licenses from?
  12. WTF, where have you been hiding Ali?
  13. If you want to organise an event then by all means try
  14. My question is, as I seem to see this often, does a car need to display a plate both front and rear in the exact spot where the plate holders are located, ie, centrally positioned at the bumper level. Secondly, is it legal to have your plate mounted at any level other than exactly horizontal, ie, can you have it dangling vertically?
  15. Are you making considerations for the iS models as they're considerably better from factory And are you considering E-model and induction?
  16. True, along with the Knight Rider and Star Wars cards?
  17. What the hell is basketball? We play rugby here
  18. Open diffs from $50 to $150, LSD diffs anywhere from $50 to $800 (depending on seller's awareness and wankiness)
  19. What about E30's, I only ever use mine in winter to demist the windscreen. It does have a funky mechanical damp smell once you turn it off though...
  20. It'll be schedule A of motorsport manaual and National grade motorsport license for a start so the full cage, seats, and safety harnesses are the costly part
  21. Sludge and varnish will always occur unless you go for the fully synthetic oils and even then you'll still get it. Only a full engine flush can get rid of that stuff. It's not too bad unless you've got some massive build ups of the gunk, like nath said, not changing oil at good intervals exasperates the problem.
  22. Intersting racing site thanks to Andy www.bmwccaclubracing.com
  23. It's common for jappa 320i autos to have the 4.45 ratio. Other auto ratios are 4.27 and 4.11 but with manuals they don't rev that high in 5th @ 100kph
  24. By second window plug do you mean the window up/down button in the centre console cause the contacts in those aren't the best. Search through the maintenance threads (go back in history) for your problem because it's a common prob. It could be the control unit behind the right front speaker as they're in a bad spot.
  25. Yeah, i've been told about it, supposedly only for 320i and 318i. Cars to have same suspension/tyre/engine setups and the like to keep things close so you'll have to ditch all your fun mods. Would'nt have a clue where to confirm this though.
