    Quick Questions

    Anyone ever replaced the bush on an E8/9x blower motor? Ive lubed mine previously using a light machine oil, and it solved it for 6 months, now its squeeking again. Spending $200 on a new assembly seems crazy when its just the bush ? Tempted to try pull it out and replace it with a bearing.
  3. I remember doing it in a Mini clubman in a bar in Chch a few years ago, walked out the door and went full speed over a kerb and little garden, hilarious.

    The new 1 series

    Yeah I though the same, it might just be Type R civic style though with multiple exhaust tips for the added thrust.

    Kill it with fire. FWD and looks like a Daewoo. This is why they lost the war!
  6. Exhaust, a flash, and a BOV is not modding the hell out of
  7. certed for coilovers, lsd etc, and relatively low ks. Be a good buy for 7k, just needs all the nonsense pulled off it and a manual box installed!
  8. Its some sort of fridgefreezer trying so very, very, very hard to a be a golf GTi.
  9. Currently at 4k, might go cheap!
  10. Nope, 8.7l/100km (or 27mpg) mostly open road is what I do. It sits at like 6l at 100ishkmh. My 1.6 corolla used more gas
  11. I average 8.7L/100km with the 130, and dont nana it, I thought it was good on gas (for a 3L hot hatch) Stock suspension is definitely crashy on some roads, there are fixes though!
  12. Rays needs a big wing... The guy is on facebook, get the impression it game off the boat all dolled up
  13. Some pretty ... interesting... mods, JDMAF, but might be a bargain. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/auction-1811729380.htm
  14. The blade key is mechanical is it not? It should open the drivers door at least.
  15. As per title, whats out there?
  16. Yeah small turboshaft, used to drive backup generators/hydraulic pumps/aircon etc. Some setups bleed air from the APUs compressor for starting the main engine
  17. Thats not a MiG 23 engine, it might be the APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) out of one though. MiG 23 engine would be as long as an E30, and doesnt make shaft hp, it makes thrust.

    Import tax

    Who is going to enforce it? China DGAF
  19. Thats currently however, M2s are still being produced. I bet in 10 years a 1M has depreciated significantly less than M2. In other markets, where they werent "flooded" with 1Ms there is a large price difference, In the US for example, a 1M is around 70k USD, and a new M2 is 50k.
  20. Shout out to Tonys Tyre Service in Takanini, first time ive ever used em. Decided to try some RE003s out. Really clean workshop, really good customer service, and I watched the guy use a real torque wrench to tighten the wheels back up, and then another guy came around and checked the torques!
  21. Damn those are some big brakes! 298000 yen? = 4k NZD?!
  22. 135is already exists in US/Canada. 240kW N55 with suspension tweaks and a bodykit
