Jacko

Congrats, looks awesome. I keep looking at AW11s on tardme... keep telling myself "no you do not need this"

The internet is so full of words Im struggling with what to believe... Im keen to get ISTA/D on my latptop (i7 on windows 10 fwiw) for diagnosing and reseting adaptations. From what ive read every version that is available outside of being a BMW dealer workshop is hacked/cracked/pirated. Id happily pay for a legit version, particularly if it doesnt involve dodgy websites and goofy reg edits... Is this legit ? http://rheingoldusa.com/conc/index.php/store#!/Software-Download-version/c/16152032/offset=0&sort=priceAsc Is there a non dodgy source if its not?

And people complain about cell phones giving them cancer 3.2kW of pixies jumping through the air... I bet you can do some cool teslacoil party tricks with it.

Replaced Vanos solenoids. No change. #fingthing

Saw a Stinger on the road for the first time today, they look much better proportioned in reality than they do in pictures. I initially thought it was a quattroporte until got closer! Whereas the new commodore looks like an old hyundai accent crossed with mazda 6

It looks like a chinese rip off ?

Freaky, I was thinking today that an N52B30 would be really fun in a Lotus 7 50kW more power and 30kg less weight than an M52. Wiring would probably be fun however.

I bought most of my 130 parts from them, was cheaper than schmiedmann. Shipping price makes sense if you buy a bunch at once, I agree though small things are pricey. My last (in stock) order from Schmiedmann took 6 weeks to ship, one before that was a month... they used to be good.

ECS Tuning, they are just like schmiedmann but waaaay faster and better customer service

I can achieve the same by standing on one of my boys matchbox cars...

1000 ways to adjust, 999 of them wrong. Ive done coil overs on an e30, cheap BC golds, and they were rubbish not worth the effort in certing/welding/crack testing. Its worth doing its worth doing properly. I imported a german made TUV certed coil and spring package before the coil overs, and they were much nicer to drive and just worked far better out of the box. Was under a grand from memory.

I actually sent a picture of the trademe listing to the wife a few days ago, in jest... thought it was hilarious to spot it in front of me a few days later. And then witnessed the knob try and kill everyone else on the road

Can confirm it is reflective. Clown needs it as well, at least he is highly visible as he crosses the centreline while playing on his phone at 130kmh.

This jackass.. https://preview.trademe.co.nz/motors/cars/bmw/640d/listing/1661941021 If the dudes driving wasn't so terrifying it would be hilariously cliche. His tasteless pile of crap nearly put me into a ditch as he played lane pinball on SH1. Lucky the listing has expired or he would be getting some feedback.

Damn that glass layup looks nasty! looks like sprayed strands. I expected a mclaren to be built better ?

Bump, make me a decent offer. These are way harder to sell than they should be!

Bump.... I didnt think these things would be hard to sell, and Im selling way less than what it cost me

You can get away with running a rattle gun on a single hex non impact socket a few times, normally just beats up the 1/2" drive square on the top, doing it on a multihex (like the one I lent you) will kill it pretty quick and has the chance of rounding off the nut and making it even more of a mare Tried soaking it in WD40 and cooking it up good with a heatgun? I have a ryobi impact driver from bunnings, wasnt expensive (under 2 hundy from memory) and it has saved the day more than once, worth the money. If you are still stuck by the weekend bring it around Ill have a go (and that way I break my tool and not you )

I took redundancy a few years ago, company made a total goatfridge of the whole process, but totally worth it in the end...( couldnt even get rid of staff properly, how the hell are the supposed to keep em...). And going out on the piss with all ya mates that also got made redundant and got a big wad of cash is always a good idea

Damn that is beautiful.

I could think of better things to blow 55k on personally, nice car, but its gonna depreciate like a mofo really quickly, compared to the others on the market, unless you dont drive it and wait for the populations odos to catch up.. Get something thats already been forgotten about by the Jones's, and has done all its depreciation, then blow 40k on it #cough#S65 1 series#cough#

Some people shouldnt be allowed to have nice things...

//M and N\\ are just cliche. Im waiting for the Daewoo \O/ range personally.

Yeah throw up a pic of your spring compressor setup, sounds much more difficult than it should be.
