Time for a Tangi I think Gus

ironic that a h-tron boy thinks himself elite "we" enlightened ones which left h-tron will let the dawgs fight amongst themselves just a shame that i have a small penis, and insecurity issues a-plenty muhaha

Sit tight if you've got a facelift, some of us welly boys have organised a kit operation for 2door facelifts which will include eyelids Q: Am I correct in assuming that the 2door and 4door skirts are interchangeable but it's the aprons which separate the two?

I think they look quite reasonable and that's including their stock ride height, need to see one pimped out to really comment

IT Contractor, currently with CYFS Got here after finding a ticket in a L33tBix box 4 years Uni study, 5 years Java in the real world with 1 year spent doing web design for Crumpler Europe in Hamburg, now entrenched within the ranks of Helen's army using EJBs to take over the world

Hmmmm, what were you thinking sic...Shall we start our own political agenda? Perhaps we can form a new religous order? Sabotage, counterfuge?

That's what my dyslexic, complicated mind was trying to communicate.Keep the original shape and lenses and they'd be good. In fact, since they're brighter they'd be perfect for Tim's blacked out lenses as you cannot see his current lamps light up at all!!!

I wouldn't touch my engine bay with anything except degreaser (which it needs a bit of right now actually) I wouldn't mind water blasting the underside of my car and the engine bay...

I've picked up a few since sticking the website sticker on the back of my car, perhaps I should upgrade it to the large sticker??? Need a graphical page with some bar/pie graphs showing the regional make up of BimmerSport...

I once had a friend that told me stupid sh*t.I used industrial silicon (stolen from my old work ) on my isuzu for several years without any side effects. Silicon works a treat on rubber vinyl and plastics. It especially works wonders on oxidised looking plastics.

If they were the same shape they'd be alright since they actually work better, nothing annoys me more than a brake light not working...I personally wouldn't waste a cent on changing my lights, that's money that can be spent on some racing rims instead

CRC Silicon spray works a treat, just need to cloth it and rub it in otherwise it'll sweat/bead in the sun. It's a good cost:performance solution.

Nice work :thumb:

Some of us have nothing better to do at work than look at bs

Dude, NWS, that link can get people at work in trouble

Right, gear ratios. Assumptions: Getrag 260 box has 5th gear ratio of 0.81, should be the same for 320i, 323i, and 325i. Tyre size used is 205/55r15 Diff ratio = RPM @ 100kph 3.05 = 2088 3.25 = 2225 3.45 = 2361 3.64 = 2492 3.73 = 2553 3.82 = 2615 3.91 = 2676 4.11 = 2813 4.27 = 2923 4.45 = 3046

No, it's one that Glenn made up comparing a Getrag260 to a Toyota W58I've found it to be spot on for predicting rpm's as you can set the tyre size for your car and the rpm you're looking for. Was spot on for predicting what the 4.45, 4.27, 3.45, and 3.25 diffs would do in the different gears. Only thing is that the Getrag 260 g/box is the 323i box so for the 320i and 325i g/boxes the 1st 2nd and 3rd gears are going to be slightly different. EDIT: PM me if you want it, i'm currently playing with it so it graphs speed on the X axis and with RPM on the Y axis shows the lines for the gear ratios - much like what you get in the Gran Turismo game when trying to modify the gear ratios.

Let me get back to you on that one...what ratio is your 5th gear, 0.81???I know 4 diff ratios and what they pull @ 100pkh in mine but i'll go find the S/S I had with all the values.

Tim......what did you do??? Let me guess, took the corner too fast???

Vote we change your user name to "Tire Whore" just like Tim should become "Meet Whore" or is that "Meat Whore" Ian should be "Car Whore" Gus just "Whore" Sparkle "Whored by Gus" ...

Luvin the stories gents, Tommy, pics of the chair incident? There's a few boy racer cars about in welly that are undercover cops...that's like entrapment, although we don't really have that as a legal defense here...my understanding is there's also a kitted out honda civic cop car aswell that does lower north island.

Agreed, paying someone to do that sh*t is like giving money to Gus to shaft youI agree with Tim on the colour, fist look just smacks you in the face, but after you rub it a little it grows on you :lol: Lowering pwns Body kit it after that, there's some parts going cheap on trademe at the mo, just for extra meaniness of course :mosh: tits

25K .. is that supposed to be good milage on a set of tires ??Cause i've done 24K and i'm not even half way through them ... and i'm not easy on them ... I got 40k kms off the barum bravuras and they still had over 2mm tread on all 4 tyres, they were crap tires but a very hard compound and while hard tires are good for economy they suck for grip.My pulsar went forever on some kellys On my Isuzu I got 15k kms off a set of firehawks I'd have thought 25k kms is a good life, that's at least 2 years of driving worth.

How did it happen??? Do you really need to think about this??? Groomer was working on the car, walked away leaving the keys in the ignition, some plucky bastard hops in and turns the key then puts the car in gear and drives off the yard. I would've thought the new M3's would have the GPS security chips in them so they can be tracked...perhaps those new micro dots aswell...

Diff's are easy, just need a big f**k off trolley jack and a second pair off hands.Small and medium case diffs share the 6 bolt axle stubs, the large cases aren't compatible, so i'm told. Mike, your 318 can take a 4.11 diff from any E30, you could do a diff swap with Tane as he needs to drop down a ratio size or two, I believe he is running a 4.27. Gus, I had a 4.45 and that was way too high...I also had a 3.45 which wasn't too bad...3.73 or 3.82 would be tits, I know two people who had these ratio diffs available before too they're gone now The key is being able to hit 100kph in 2nd gear to avoid having to do a 2 gear changes in a 0-100 sprint. Does the 3.91 ratio let you hit 100kph in 2nd gear???
