Pity most of the public in NZ would think "what a weird looking VN commodore" Still rather have one lotus carlton over 3 dime a dozen HSV's

^ +1 , carlton is so shweet, never seen one in NZ though.

What! No flame war!? Whats going on Fair play, be sure to start a project thread, im not really a rotary hater, more a of a rotary bongo hater. Workmate has a 20B cosmo (mint, stock) that is pretty friggin cool for a mazda. In all seriousness, I wouldnt worry about P/S either. I wonder what a quicker rack (e36 etc) without the p/s plumbing would be like with the lighter engine. Stock e30 rack has quite bus like ratio, feeling can be improved with suspension work though.

p/s in e30's is for woosies, id imagine with a little 12A in it'll still be quite light, as opposed to putting a real engine in

In the first vid, anyone else notice that his tach and speedo arent working.

My 85 M323 has no p/s

Lightly tap it with a mallet all the way around the gasket, if that fails, thin plastic scraper and a hammer works

I just ground a chunk outta the rib on the block, big old skool starter bolts up fine to the M50/260.

Same designer as the 507 Goertz is da man, pity modern designers dont have the same style. A camel is a horse designed by committee/bangle

From wikipedia 288's are a bargain.

^ +1 That and the 62 250 GTO. Pity ill never be able to afford either

Cheers Ray, Ill give you a buzz later in the week and work out when I can shoot around. Hoping to get the end of the week off work EDIT - Got a wiper relay too?

Ahhh, so the bumpers are the same as the trim? Some ass clown has "shadowlined" mine in the past, just done a sh*t job of it , made a mess are ruined it, so would like to return it all to stockish when it gets resprayed.

A mate used to have one, nice and tidy, but 10 odd years ago now with a L28 with triple dellortos. He paid less than 10 for it at the time. Lots of want, wish I bought it off him when he sold it.

Changed the car without starting a new auction too...

Autosol restorations are sweet

Sounds like a 13 year old boys wet dream, and likely is. 2500hp, 300mph, 0-100 in 1.2s, 1/4 mile in 6.6s, 9.4 litre TT V8. http://www.gtr-xs.com/

Im after, - Pre facelift front and rear bumpers with good chrome. - A set of chrome side window trim (coupe) - Window rubber chrome strips for the front and rear, with the joiners. - The chrome strips that run along the inside of the side windows against the seal at the top of the door cards. - Bonnet, must be straight and rust free, shwarz black if possible. - Prefacelift tail lights. The tidier the better, prefer mint, hopefully someone has all this in one spot. Chur.

Big fan of 240Z's, awesome car. But 55k?? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-328083910.htm

+1 I sold my diff for a $1 to Silverfox, it cost me 70c to list it, and they charged me 50c as a success fee. Awesome deal hahaha. But if you need it sold, probably the way, people are silly on trademe with $1 reserve. Pump it up with a funny ad and try to get on the cool auctions thing. I got 40,000 views on a toy plane stuck in a tree

Went with CLIC simply because the dude on the phone didnt sound like a f**knuckle, like NAC! Listen up companies with clowns in the call centres...

State suck, they tried to do me for insurance fraud when I was 18, car insured under mothers name with me as a driver, had an accident, they sent me bill for 8k 6mths afterwards (out of the blue!). Broke the headlight on the R32 and apparently wrote off the late 80's galant! Eventually got lawyers involved and we won, but I wouldnt touch state with a barge poll now. Around the same time I was working at panel beater, they were constantly complaining about state never paying the bill, or that state had decided to only pay x much to repair a car (which meant halfass jobs to meet the budget) I remember one new VW beetle that sat in the shop for months as state wouldnt pay what it would cost to fix it...

Shweet, the XT6's are even rarer, so few of them on the roads now. I still have a hankering to buy another

Subaru XT's, The uber 80's techo wedge. Had one for a month, then the turbo shat itself. Buttons and digital displays for africa. Still kinda cool

Jibber Jabber. If your happy with your 2k+ yellow shocks and shiny red springs, good for you, have a cookie. Back to the original post, Im more than happy with my half the price black ones. Height adjustability is a gimmick, but its still better than no adjustability. Installing new springs that dont have it sitting quite right is a annoying. Last time I checked this wasnt a race car, and nope I cant tell the difference between koni's and BC golds to drive on, I bet 99.9% of the drivers in the world couldnt, theyre friggin adjustable you egg, the whole point is that you can tweak em (in rebound) to what feels right too you...
