No such thing as a lemon E30, or BMW for that matter, just one that needs some TLC Fuel Gauge/ Odometer doesnt work - Pull the gauge cluster out and check everythings plugged in to start with. Brake lining light - Check the pads arent worn for a start, theyre not expensive from repco etc Cluster lights - Turn the head light knob (pull it out turns lights on, turning it is a dimmer for dash lights) If youve got blown bulbs, theyre easy to change once the gauge cluster is out. Headlight beams - By a mess you mean out of a alignment?

I think they are for storing large amounts of middle eastern rice.

Saw this a few weeks ago, but whats far more errrummm "interesting" than the doors is the front gaurds, theyre really "interesting" in person...

Oooo... Its in aucks now?

A mate was telling me about BAD M3 today, apparently saw it at a gas station, but couldnt tell me any other details other than about the young female driving it. "I wanna hear about the f-in M3 man!" Saw a dark coloured E30 sedan today, with air bags. I cried a little.

Wow nice video, awesome editing too.

996 Carrera 4 down the mall in onehunga. Obviously a manual, the driver was trying to melt the clutch with his awesome skills. Painful to watch/hear.

http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk/revs.html Youll need to work out what gearbox you have.

Yup you can shim E30 LSD's, theres even instructions online on how to do it. Ive never done it, but it looks easy enough. You want an E30 Medium case diff, I pulled mine apart the other day, for a stock diff designed for a sohc six theyre impressively tough looking inside, and heavy as hell! Youll need to work out what ratio you want, depends greatly on your cars gearbox, and how its gonna be driven. Expect to pay $600AU+ for a diff though.

What about a blower from a jag XKR/6. Eaton M90 possibly? If its got enough puff for a 4 litre six itll make an M20 howl even on under drive pulleys I looked up some prices on one of the newer eaton blowers (cant remember their name, but the new whizz bang version) similar amount of puff to an M60. Eaton dont sell to the public, but one designed for some american heap was worth 6k+ US new. Ebay is probably your best bet for finding one, M60's and M90's came on a bunch of american rubbish. I used to have an AE92 GTZ, Sc12 on a 4AGZE, was lotsa fun, but winding up the boost past 10psi got pretty pointless, it just spat out hot air and the top mount intercooler was rubbish enough at cooling the stock boost, and that was on a 1600cc. EDIT - Epic Grammar Fail.

Word. You need to do some research man, put simply, ITB's will NOT give you more power, in exactly the same way as putting a 5" chrome exhaust tip on it will NOT give you more power.

26/27/28 of November. Dunno about this weekend

Sweet, good stuff man. Welcome to the club Coming to Tok? Lot of coin, but its awesome. The CNC work etc blows anything else if seen out of the water, and its a proper blower, not one of those centrifugal toys

Stumbled across this and got a boner http://eurosporthighperformance.com/supercharger.html

Awesome! Giver her 4th shes screaming for it!

5% duty on car parts + import transaction fee ($35) + Disbursement fee ($10) + GST on the whole lot. It adds up quick. $379US cost me $150NZ in charges. Keep it below $400NZ

Below $400NZ, there are no charges.

Yeh, gotta agree, BMW NZ's parts prices are silly. Theres genuine, and then theres taking the piss! In all honesty, after playing with some meyle HD bits, Genuine isnt the "end all" of quality, the meyle bits are the shizzle (esp for the price) Ive now spent $$$$ with http://www.schmiedmann.com/ and give them a two thumbs up for prices and service. Just keep below the $400NZ per order mark and customs charges etc dont come into it. 2 weeks to your door for stuff not in stock, and around a week for stuff in stock seems to be the theme. ebay is good, but ebay charges sellers to sell, so if you can find the sellers actual website and take ebay outta the loop, youll save coins

Got 2 more doors? Bugger, blue leather interior wouldve ruled in the coupe.

Any chance of pics of the interior? And is bringing them up a possibility? 2door/4door?
