It's stopped working again, makes a horrible winding noise now

Downforce is all good, but only effective when you're going super fast and the way cops have their damn quotas to reach these days it's too damn risky and costly. Did you hear about the cop on the west coast township who has a yearly quota of 600 tickets. The stupid thing is there's only 600 ppl in the township...so fgo figure. I prefer subtle smaller body kits...not that I can talk, i'm happy with the stocker though. So is it really $1500 dunar for side skirts?

That is a sic ride man but I ain't no fan of the cow/small kid scraper

If what you say is true DNZ then that ain't traction control, the traction control i'm used to messes with the brakes on each individual wheel and messes with the power being applied and as it's doing it's sh*t it beeps at you just to let you know it's correcting you. If you've ever had the opportunity to play with traction control on a snow or ice covered road you'd see it really does work it's magic.

Sorry to hear about your precios prize shadow, although it looks like you've come off unscathed...how the hell did he run up your arse? Who was with him, given that he's on a learners and shouldn't be driving alone???

Hmmmm, you were right Grant, seems to be working fine now...isn't that an oddball thing.

Nice pics guys, looks like a perfect day at puke, can't wait for manfeild :mosh:

Got it done at Tuffy's auto centre, $220 all up, Ian recommended them to me.

Sam, I took a filem clip of it for about 12 secs but it's 10MB and I can't make it smaller so I won't bother posting it. Bimmerboy, they're coby resonators and they're basically a chamber that allows the exhaust gasses to expanded and offer a little bit of sound muffling and it's debatable whether the improve flow or not...but they're better than a muffler performance wise. EDITE: Sorry Tim, posted as you did, they're both the same, they be looking quite smart side by side :mosh:

Not really that intersting, but I was feeling rather empty after the cat was cut out, feeling better now after having two cobys put in

If you want your engine to turn over you probably would want to do it...unless your battery is full of juice which I doubt by now

Damn, that black E30 is the shizzle...

Deftones, give Hartage a PM, he's in Lower hutt and has a 5spd box for an E30 I6

It's round-a-bouts I hate, people that don't indicate just fk me off, especially if it's someone on your right doing a left hander and someone doing a right hand turn without indicating??? hello??? How's this for fk'd up laws, if you have an accident at a round-a-bout where you pull out in front of a car executing a turn that hasn't indicated, while the road code says they're wrong, in court they can argue that you should've anticipated that they were doing a right hand turn...how messed up is that law... What about this one...in the road code it says that if you're executing a U-turn on an open road with traffic, it says you should pull over to the shoulder and wait until traffic has cleared before executing the turn. My brother was following behind a car that indicated left and pulled off to the left but then u-turned right in front of him...whamo...and guess what happened??? He had to pay for everything because he didn't anticipate that they were going to turn in front of him

Hmmmm, I can't quite see it in the pic but to get your cruiser into 4wd does it require you to get out and lock in the front hubs then do a slight reverse???Use the oversized tyres to get better top end speed, use 36" instead of the standard 33" from memory

I never said the head unit didn't matter, I said to get a suitable head unit to drive the speakers, in any sound system it's the speakers that actually recreate the audio wave.While everything plays its role, you can have the best head unit in the world but if you've got shite speakers then it's going to sound crap whereas if you had the best speakers and a sh*t head you're still going to get a decent sound.

Glenn has some rear trailing arms and discs available too...E30_323ti

I woudln't put too much emphasis on the head unit Sparkle, it's the speakers that make most of the noticeable difference, get the right speakers first and then get a suitable headunit to drive them.

Why would you want to turn off traction control for driving in snow??? I was driving around Switzerland in a Lexus IS300, the model with the steering wheel gear paddles, thinking all this snow driving was a piece of piss...until my uncle turned off the snowflake mode...hehehe, let's just say that traction control does have a handy use

Thanks guys, although not sure what the whole i thing meant... Will see if it fixes itself and if it doesn't come right i'll have to get a replacement - not that I use the radio very often but it looks gay fully erect while parked

Hahaha, bloody dutchies... Goldmember: Fasha Austin Powers: No, father Goldmember: Faaarsha Austin Powers: No, faaarther Goldmember: Faaaaaaarrsha

Hehe, I used to drive around in a good ole 2 door landcruiser, my bro has one right now...2.5 turbo though....good for hunting expos

Alright, someone's playing silly buggers with me car, damn aerial is not going down anymore...can hear the motor trying to wind it up and down but it's stuck in the full upright position...thoughts anyone?

Well, maybe if more people came along on the SI trip like they said they would I would have something to write about, but two bmw's charging around the south ain't gonna be that interesting a story....unless we act like the guys off "Good Bye Pork Pie" and do some crazy sh*t, or if we get stuck in snow drifts and go snow rallying...then i'd have something to write about :mosh:

I honestly don't believe that you posted that 37 South, I suspect someone else wrote that for youAnyway, keeping to Topic, my boss has a E39 525 bmw and a 96 E280 merc, aswell as a toyota curren. He drives the toyota curren the most, the merc the least, says the merc is the worst car he's ever bought for driving but as far as clients are concerned it's a nice luxurious car.
