Discovered this - Is not the right temp sender. Doh. Single pin M20 one is whats needed and if you bang it in either of the forward two holes in the head (instead of the intake heat hole) it doesnt need to be rethreaded. Working temp gauge FTW New problem though. Got angry swapping the senders out with the manifold on and managed to smash my DME temp sender plug off in my butchery. Bugger. Took the car to HellBM for a scan (Cheers!) No DME found...

I appreciate ya straightupedness bellicose, but E-bitching is stupid, the interwebs equivalent of these - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RED-Brembo-...sQ5fAccessories Edited, decided some may be offended

Maroony E30 sedan towing a boat just before the harbour bridge, and a white E30 touring out in silverdale got the nod

The top gear ones are all tricky, took me ages. Lots and lots of failed attempts. Got to be hard on the brakes in the corners and out brake them (without nudging anyone) but smooooth on the exits so they cant catch you back up on the straights. The difficulty for them is a bit screwy, I got gold on the final top gear challenge first time (with the kamekaze VW scwimmwagons (sp)) The elise one is much harder due to the sh*t tyres...

What flavour 320? (E30/36/46 etc)

Silverdales taiwanese radiators seem pretty good. Out of the packaging its hard to tell it an and OEM radiator apart for around the $300 mark. http://www.silverdaleradiators.co.nz/cooli...;category_id=21 Radiator hoses here - http://www.schmiedmann.com/3_series/E30/Sp.../page1.htm#1424

^ Different. Forza has better crashes, and an E30, the rewind thing is kinda cool too. Everything else about it, GT5 is much betterer. Forzas physics feel much more wooden than GT5's. Indecorous - I just started playing with B spec. The trick that seems to be working for me is too get a angry driver and then keep him calm by repeating reduce pace messages when practical. Cars that handle well with rubbish tyres is key too, or the ass clown AI driver just does O's all over the track

Think I may have a small fuel leak, too small patches of spray showing up on the fuel rail cover. Cant see anything obvious but it looks like #5 and is too small to pinpoint ATM.. Wonder if Ive pinched/twisted an Oring or is it possible to crack an M50 fuel rail? (having nightmare flashbacks to my 944 fuel rail headaches...) EDIT - Must have been a dry O ring as its fixed itself.

Roughly? Oh..... Huntly...

After driving it home from the airport tonight decided I need me a 3rd muffler. It makes shweeeet music, but its too damn loud, gonna get me pulled over by the boys in blue.

Sold.. Hopefully

^ The Hard Yards! Ill shoot over on the 3rd, cheers.

Mmmmm 4 litres

Sweet, happen to have an M20 temp sensor (for the gauge) too? When do you open back up after new years? Ill drive up and grab them and get ya to plug ya wizzbang scanner in and see what I cocked up with the swap.

Trademe guy is screwing me around Says he'll come pick it up and is a no show, 4 chances is plenty.... $50 takes it, the airbox, and a radiator expansion tank. And if you dont need the temp sender (gauge) you can take the lot for $40 Epic Bargain. Cant pick up till the 3rd of Jan though, off to Aussie for a week.

Damn, I need a chain link steering wheel.

Haha, had a go with the 110hp ginetta. Best I could get was 7k. Ranked like number 26,800 epic fail.

Whiteline ones, fronts 24mm rear is 16mm with the adjustable link in the middle. They're a bitch to fit, but from initial impressions they are the shizzle. Looks good with one wheel up in the air turning with the lsd too

Got it all bolted together, new radiator slapped in. Took it for a cane, very good fun, obviously not stupid fast, but it pulls hard from any rpm and feels much more willing and rev happy than an M20. Handles like a fricken go kart! The turn in is worlds away from stock, and it corners epically flat and tight like a tiger! Feels even grippier too. I like a lot. Exhuast is a tad loud, but it makes good noises so its OK, unlike the twit next door with his integra.... Took it in for a wheel alignment, front toe in was all on the piss but the rest was bang on the numbers with the exception of the extra camber on the front/rear. I was well impressed, I have a remarkably straight E30 Wheel alignment fella took for a drive, it cocks inside rear wheels going up driveways, choice. Only thing left to fix is my M20 temp gauge sender (that I got rethreaded) its dead as a door knob so ive got no temp gauge.

Where was the alignment done? out of curiosity

Anyone in Akl got a good set lying around?

Damn it where were you when my original plan of using the stock temp switches was shot down in flames Oh well, next time I do this ill know a few tricks...

Isnt the stock temp switch used for overheat, ie when the viscous fan craps out or you switch A/C on.

Yup got a full bling 98 mini ill send it tonight
