...We also have a NZ New 2011 Polo 1.4 7DSG if anyone is interested in that. Both cars located in North Shore, Auckland.

chance of any more pics??

It's a mission getting the car out from the back of the garage. I'll pull it out next time it's sunny. Do you want any pictures in particular?

Your signature is fantastic

Thank you. It's my old wagon.

Figure I'd see if anyone was interested in my wagon.

It's been one of my favourites, stealthy family wagon with a bunch of torque. Always garaged, and I bought this off CamB, so the history is known. Unfortunately, I barely drive my car, have done about 1000km this year - so time to move it on

2005 Skoda Octavia vRS Combi, top of the line with all the options!

97,000km

1.8 Turbo 20v

5 speed manual

REVO stage 2 - loads of features, boost, timing, map control

Decat system

4bar fuel regulator

All sorts of nice stuff in it, like:

Half leather interior

Height + Reach adjustable perforated leather steering wheel

Height + Lumbar adjustable sport seats

Aluminium sill protectors

Boot net system

Bag carry system

Retractable boot luggage cover

Animal/luggage partition for seats up and seats down

3-point centre belt

ISOFIX

Cupholders! (something I never had in my BMWs, ha)

Cruise Control

Climate Control

Bluetooth Music + Calls

Factory 8 speaker system

Power + Heated Mirrors

Full toolkit

Aero Roof racks

Economy has been 8L/100km around town, 5-6L/100km on the open road.

Bad bits:

- Scuffs on the front lip from my silly driveway

- Minor staining on the centre part of the front seats, perhaps an old coffee spill?

$10,000, all offers considered. Might consider a swap for an motard, streetfighter, or maybe a 2 stroke Aprilia. But I am hoping to get a KTM Duke 390 which is the primary motivator for this sale.

Here's a cellphone pic from the last time I drove it (sorry it's filthy!). It is now clean, on standard wheels, normal plate, fresh WOF and live rego. Currently just lives at the back of my garage on a trickle charger.

I have some, but car's sold.

First person to view bought straight away. I wonder if I should have priced it higher, at least it's gone to a very good home :-)

Cheers Graham, yeah it's mine.

Have treated it as a keeper and it holds a whole bunch of sentimental value now - hence the extreme reluctance to sell. But there are unfortunately more important things to throw money at right now.

Listing conditions, defects, pictures, size, and price will help in selling them faster.

Or at least the size, it would give members an idea of the rolling diameter/whether it would be a correct size for their car. If it's a popular rolling diameter then you might be in luck, if not, then a $1res auction on trademe or tyre shop might be your best bet.

in 2010 I think

IIRC, Chris bought it off me in 2010 I think. I swapped my E30 track hack for it with Sam in Christchurch - Sam rebuilt the 2.5 just before I took ownership.

I think there was a 2.7 block lined up for it in Sam's ownership, but certainly was 2.5 when I had it.

You really took care of it Chris! Saw it on the harbour bridge earlier this year, looked fantastic. Like Graham, I'm pretty sad I wasn't in a position to buy it back!

I haven't driven one, but this might be of use:

(if only to watch something entertaining).

I used to run 20mm spacer, still have the studs and low profile nuts somewhere.

Give me a PM if interested and I'll hunt them out for you this weekend.

^ Ah, bugger. Worth asking I suppose.

Good luck with the sale

Just for the front pair of bilsteins? Or are the rear dampers included too? I'm guessing springs are for a 6cyl?

Cheers.

I have a hazard light switch you can have if you pick it up.

0211272738

Sweet have given you a text. Chur.

Ironically that is a Sony headunit. It's an XR-7300.

I have one missing a button that I want to use, but... it looks silly without it's button.

Any RDS head unit will also keep the power antennae up all the time, as it's a requirement.

lol, not sure there's any irony here. I don't mind what brand the head unit is, as long as it looks period (wanky, I know).

The Sony head units look good. They are black with red lighting. So match the rest of the car.

For the garage door mod are you just going to pull apart a existing door remote or are you going to buy or build a programmable one?

I think I have a whole heap of these switches at home. Will have a look tonight. I'm just in Milford these days.

I'm trying to bring my iS back to a factory looking example, so if anything looks modified I don't want it in my car, gonna be a bit stricter on myself or it's going to be a slippery slope to another heavy modified e30!

I'm going hunting for a small enough programmable one, otherwise I'll just remote mount an existing board in the dash somewhere. The plus side is the ability to have the antenna in a nice prominent place like going up the side of the windscreen so range is going to be awesome I hope!

Oh sweet, you have my number I think. Give me a text, I'm just in Birkdale.

Something like this?

http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/picture.ph...;pictureid=4203

Yes! Exactly that is was thinking of for the oil temp, was going to use a mounted breadboard in the dash somewhere instead of a pcb though.

i have used a big e28 fog light switch in my e28 for switching the aerial off ,for the same reason.

see the switch to the left of the stereo. same size as e30.

have some hazard switches iff needed

Hi Brent, yeah I have a blank slot in my hvac control (no AC), might bung a defrost switch in there for the antenna switch and leave the ones closer to the driver for oil pressure warning and oil temp.

ive only ever purchased sony head units and they only activate the aerial when you go to the radio setting! will be a very easy thing to do though, you just need to put the switch somewhere along the trigger line. garage door remote would be fine too, just need to de solder the current switch off the board, solder on some wires and a witch to end of those, done.

I really don't like aftermarket looking head units in e30s (or bmw for that matter). Very happy with my oem one (see pic), it has aux in the glovebox, just don't like the look of the antenna, so will only use it when necessary

Hi all, was wondering if anyone has e30 hazard light buttons lying around for free/cheap? Kicking myself for giving away all the e30 bits I had a couple of years ago haha.

Would like as many buttons as possible to cut up/break as I'm trying to see if I can:

1) incorporate my garage door remote into my dash.

2) fit a row of LEDs in another button housing as a oil temperature gauge and oil pressure gauge.

3) make an aerial switch, annoys me when it pops up even if I'm not using the radio.

Also, if anyone knows of someone else already doing the above, please do share - I'd love to have to think less

i might be selling my backet weaves soon

Only my opinion, but it might be wiser to hold on to them if you ever plan on selling the car - modified 318iS's (or any car with vague collectability) don't seem to go for as much as minty fresh standard ones. But hey, if it means I get a cheap set of 14" basketweaves I'm not complaining

the "SE" side skirts, is that the correct name?

As the name suggests, they came on SE sedans, not 318iS's. I don't even think they were an option? Can't decide if I want a set on mine or not, really quite happy with how OEM looks.

Wow, looks nearly identical to mine! It's weird that yours has the iS lip painted black and the lower sills red, mine has the black lower sills and red iS lip...I wonder which is the factory option?

Been trying to find some basketweaves for mine but no such luck

My touring used to do 8.5~9L/100km on the daily commute <70kph. Facelift M20B25, manual, 3.64 diff.

Old race car did around the same thrashing it on the way to Taupo, PFL M20B25 (330,000kms), manual, 3.73 diff, stripped.

Current 'iS happily does 7L/100km blatting it everywhere, probably 8L/100km if you take into account speedo error.

All run on 98. Perhaps that's the difference?

I would definitely recommend hpc, we had egt's between 950-1000degC with the exhaust right next to a painted surface and it did admirably. IIRC, IR gun on the external surface read around 600+? We were really impressed.

The problem is, I don't think it likes very big temperature gradients, ie water splashes when hot, etc. It was very durable otherwise, did fail when we had to do weld repairs on it, but that's to be expected.

I wouldn't go for an e30 track car. Poor brakes, even poorer steering, and next to no power. I agree with e38king, is go for a late 90s Integra type R. Fantastic motor/diff/gearbox/suspension. Indestructible too!

The problem is finding an unmolested example.

Otherwise if you're insisting on a rwd, an mx5 with a cage is great fun if you don't mind a lack of power and aren't too tall.

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has a boss kit to suit a facelift e30? Would like to bring the wheel closer, preferably for Momo wheels, my Prototipo hasn't been used for a while now!

Will consider Nardi if the price is particularly attractive.

Cheers.

One of my E30's had an ant problem. Sprinkle some of the ant killer stuff, nek minute, all gone.

It's the stuff that they eat, and take back to the nest. Looks like sand. I think it's called ant bait.

Thanks for that, Can I apply for an authority card before getting the lvv cert?

Yeah, I did with my race car.

Hi, If the sale falls through we have a 240Z that we'd be interested in swapping for an M3!

Ah poop, this would have been much easier! M3 is sold but, any details on this 240?

^ Importing through a family friend, haven't even got pics yet 2 seater, ZG flares, L28. I'm pretty excited, ideally I'd keep both - but need to keep cash spare for a house this year (and a wedding!).

One day, I would like a car that sounds like
