    So where were you in the last round???
  2. Alright, so the left one is the parking brake, the middle one is the brake pads, but what is the right one?
  3. Feel the burn, I replaced mine for $25, trademe is your friend
  4. That gear knob isn't a dogleg...are you sure?
  5. and they wonder why there's a high ratio of single females in nz
  6. Seriously, is that what you think??? It almost sounds as though you need training wheels but I could almost understand why Tim and Glenn would need one.Getting the driving line correct is what lets you put down the power early and prevent inside wheel spin but I suppose then if you can't get it right the LSD would help.

    I'm sure i've seen that black car at manfeild...
  8. Gus, I have driven both an E30 around a race track with an LSD and one without, and I couldn't tell the difference, so don't try that angle because it doesn't work.If you are getting wheel sping then you're doing something wrong or you have a bad suspension setup. All you people want LSD's for is to have two black lines.
  9. Economy is definately better with manual box, however, that's assuming you cahnge the diff aswell. Running a short 4.27 won't be very good at all. As for an LSD, don't waste your time, they're highly over-rated and not worth it for a 320.
  10. thanks.now everyone here is dumber for having read that. Just ignore cam, he has a slightly bent outlook on thingsEven though it makes sense to turbo a small engine and supercharge a big one, doesn't that aerial atom have a supercharged 1600cc honda civic engine? That thing goes like the clappers.
  11. The only difference between the facelift and the pre-fl is the driveshaft bearing housing and the g/box support x-member thingee.

    I tried registering but the stupid government filters have banned it and I can't be frigged doing it from home, that'd be just criminal

    Just so long as the greens don't get represented i'm happy, they're anti cars, anti smacking, anti progress, anti fun. E: And Jimmy, I oppose lesbian marriages
  14. Depends on what you want. If you've got a 320 or 323 then you can use the Getrag 260 or 265 gearboxes. If you've got a 325 then you need, at a minimum, the 325 flywheel. Since you've got the 320 then there's three to choose from, 320, 323, 325. The 323 is the bigger box. The 320 has a closer 1st and 2nd. As for diffs, you can change these relatively easily (30mins - 1 hr). With the 320 anything below 3.45 gets too hard to pull and over 3.91 too short/uneconomical Hope that helps
  15. Does anyone know how our current fuel quality compares to europe, ie, is our 96 better than the UK 92, is our 98 better than their 95???

    But it ain't a dirty 30
  17. I've used all sorts of things, but just be sure to connect the right wires, I got it wrong once on the oldskool styles and it started the car up...luckily it wasn't in gear at the time or it would've been disasterous
  18. The sound of a supercharger whirring up is oh so much better than the shitty little pfft off a blow off wank valve, that, and JC would agree, is worthy of the cool wall.

    I suppose that does leave his other hand to play with himself or wave to people
  20. Turbos are for little mazda familias, superchargers for real cars

    I agree with Kaelib, it would seem weird that while braking you would have to pull the lever back to change down a gear, i'd prefer to push it foward since your body is being pushed forward as you decelerate hence giving you more of an arms reach.

    Political Poll

    Exactly - civil debates are all good, i'm surprised too that this thread hasn't turned ugly, perhaps Bimmersport is moving into it's golden age? I'm voting against National but should they win I may still benefit through the tax cuts, which I might add won't kick in for a few years so those voting with their wallets don't hold your breath, but i'll get to hassle all those that voted for them - and I know who you are now muhahahaha

    What scares me is if Don becomes "our" representative then he'll go running off overseas ruining the good reputation of our country that has been built up mainly by Labour governments. You can't trust politicians but Don would have to be the least must trustworthy guy in the bunch. The man can't make decisions and when he does he backtracks on them, and changes his statement, and generally isn't consistent at all. I like the centre, I would rather National be lead by Peter Dunn or someone who ppl actually like, but as Grant says it's a two horse race and you have to vote sensibly to keep out the person you don't want in government.
