  1. Went and got a wheel alignment, got asked if I knew @Matt, they tell our cars apart by the brake caliper colours
  2. Nobody killed themselves , I suspect the wrecker spat out his XXXX when checked his google reviews in the morning though.
  3. Or perhaps one struggling guy buys an engine he expects to bolt into the family car and drive his family around, but finds he spent his savings on an anchor the wrecker wont replace, and then Swings and roundabouts, the wrecker had a shitty reputation before, now he better hope customers dont find them online before purchasing. Good rule of thumb tends to be dont be a prat, karmas a bitch.
  4. This is entertaining to watch, MCM buys an potato engine from wrecker, wrecker does the (sadly nearly normal now) scummy wrecker thing and then the internet happens with 3.6 million subscribers. Their google reviews are getting crushed, social media getting slammed.... and probably deservedly. Kinda need to be careful whos on the other end of the phone, if the wrecker had been straight up and fixed the problem honorably they would have 3.6 million people giving them a high five. Southport Wreckers in Queensland if ya wanna watch the fallout.
  5. Very pretty touring at Totara Park MTB track.
  6. 99 problems and an E6x is guaranteed to be one of them. In all seriousness, damn!.

    Quick Questions

    Anyone know where id get 95%+ Formic Acid in NZ (and online), need to melt me some BMW plastic.
  8. Not amazing I suspect, few reviews saying they aquaplane in heavy downpours, although are DOT approved.
  9. Decided I like em. ET38 18x8.5 definitely about the sane limit with these tyres (235/40), maybe et35 and 225s would work if wanted to try push it. Gave it the mandatory B road blat, kinda scary not knowing where the limit actually is on the Falken RT615k+, particularly as the initial turn in grip on them is insane. Bit more noisey than RE003s but not night and day, but OMG does it feel like it wants to change directions quick, going to be fun tyres.
  10. Overwhelming urge to go hang a wheel off a sharp cliff edge whilst all crossed up.
  11. Its a drone/spaceship Was used for testing quadplane hybrid beta code last year - https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/quadplane-support.html
  12. Yeah I like the ACS Type IVs too, Im being a weight weeny and want to start playing with it on track. Ill probably keep them in the corner. ACS Type IV 19x8.5 235/35/19 - RE003 - 24.86kg R5 18x8.5 235/40/18 - RT615K+ - 21.3kg 14.24kg of unsprung mass.... not insignificant.
  13. These might be even more polarizing than ACS Type IVs Flow formed, 900kg rated, right offsets and most importantly - available. Also some sticky rubber to suit. Will weigh them and compare
  14. These would all look good in my garage.
  15. That 2006 one looks like it got dragged out of fukushima, check out the plastics and the screen!
  16. Quick or the dead around this place - SOLD
  17. Need a clean up and respray to be nice, but useable as is. 2 have WOFable Nankang NS20 255/35 2 Tyreless 8x18 ET34 8.5x18 ET37 BMW E90/91 fitment $250
  18. Anyone clued up on BBS wheels? @qube ? 18x8 ET30
  19. NZ New and dirt cheap - https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/other/listing/3321369034?bof=czxQY6Pk For history sake DYD514
  20. SM10s are what Im looking at, bit scared of shipping delays/nightmare due to the current situation. Making it local companies problem seems to make some sense.
  21. Anyone bought Apex wheels through autoform before? I generally dont like buying sh*t thats not in stock, so a bit cautious
