Silver E64 650i came flying past me on SH1 through Huntly this morning, he was enjoying the go pedal Member?

I tried ebay, but not ebay Aus! $80au shipping and same price as the US online crowds so $1200NZD all up. Done.

Cheers, Ill again to find some on Monday, otherwise will be in touch!

Dude here compares em directly, Ive used the Polish brand strongflex in the past, OK material but some of the design was just dumb.

Im collecting all the bits to refresh all the suspension in the E87, M3 LCA, Birds Dynamics kit, and poly bushes... The poly bushes are proving to be a prick to get hold of. Does anyone have a source for them in NZ? Super pro looks to make the best parts (KIT 191K is p/n) but having no luck sourcing some in NZ, none of the apparent NZ suppliers superpro list (through george stocks i assume) reply to emails or return phone calls, or even follow up requests for parts. Supercheap said nah cant do the kit have to order individual bushes (aint nobody got time for that) Few US online shops list em, price is good, but shipping is absurd money. Ill be in Aussie in a few months and am tempted to just bring some back in luggage! Anyone got a source in NZ?

Motorsport wheels. Goodride tyres... Says it all.

Can anyone recommend me an Auckland Toyota mechanic to do a swag of work on an AE101 BZ Touring 6 speed? (Glenn you interested in pulling apart an old turd?) Someone with 4AGE BT experience would be awesome, she has a gremlin or two to chase. Needs clutch, Crank seal behind clutch (im assuming), rocker gasket is leaking around dizzy, vacuum leak solved (high idle and it isnt the ICV or any external load command AFAIK), VVT isnt engaging (cam gear is noisey, it could be that or the solenoid/ecu), and I think the o2 sensor is toast (rich as hell at mid rpm WOT, could be the missing cam advance though). If its the cam gear thats toast will be the cambelt as well. CEL is clean, but its OBD1 so not particularly clever. Bought it cheap as a 2nd car to throw some k's at and abuse (and put the dog in the back!), its straight and tidy but needs TLC before having another 100k thrown at the odo. No rush on the work as it is second car, but need to keep the costs down or its point of cheap reliable car is lost haha.

I live in Rewa, Only place the wife and I could afford (first) home. Its pretty funny sometimes, but in all honesty we have never had anything pinched/broken/tagged etc. Wifes car was broken into 3 times in central Auckland... Unfortunately the drop kicks are the most visible around these parts, but plenty of normal people around here too (and its increasing as the number of first home buyers get pushed south and the "winz renters" get pushed out). Got a house with a section big enough for the big dog (he may influence security..) and unobstructed views of the water out to the waitakeres, could never afford anything like it anywhere else in Auckland.

Very good deal I got the LCAs few days ago, wish bones seem to be taking longer to arrive. Other than the M being ground off they appear to legit and not "seconds" Sorry for the hijack

I got myself banned from most of em :D, facebook is definitely killing the forums of old, mostly due to the forum software getting out of date really quick. Bimmersports one is pretty slick in comparison to many.

Clowns in euros (mostly x3's and e90 320s...) who drive in the RH lane bouncing between 80 and 130 with their rear fog lights on. Seriously... think they looking all trick with their extra illumination when in reality they just dont know what the buttons on the dash do.

Sold, Cheers.

Sorry missed this, this is the only pic I have sorry Will be going on tardme tonight, gave them a clean today.

I just picked up the 4 m3 front arms (TRW, with the //M logo ground off) on amazon for ~$200us, awesome deal.

I rate gramsci's like stray voltage from the early 2000's, for some reason band seemed to fade away, was a really good album though (particularly turned up to 11)

Agreed! I drive that route every day, the traffic management clowns running that project are hilariously inept, its amazing. When you do see anyone working, its an attenuator truck with its flashing arrow telling you to drive into the river.... I made a formal complaint to NZTA after playing 6am thick fog chicane one morning, Im sure they were having a laugh.

Getting a $170 35 demerit fine for doing 103kmh in a 100 zone that had flashing 80kmh signs due to rain... while on the way to emergency with family member on deathbed in hospital. Some cops are pricks.

Im happy, they look new. Having a mare trying to find new centre caps, but the work Manukau Auto and Tyre did is really good

$1k? Anybody? I CBF putting em on tardme.

Burgundy Model S Tesla getting hauled out of the ditch this morning just south of Mercer. Ludicrous speed might have been a tad much.

Manukau Auto and Tyre (home of the mag wheel guru )charged me a 1k, repaired, resprayed, balanced (dropped them off with tyres on). Paint was $50 wheel extra as it was shadow something or rather. Ill tell you what they look like on sat.

Picked these up of tardme few weeks ago temporarily while my wheels get repaired. Thought id try store these as spares/"fun" wheels but really dont have the space. I paid $1400, make me an offer Tyres look a bit old, but heaps of life left. One of the rims/tyres has a little bit of overspray on it (not in the tardme pics), If I get a chance ill clean it off Came off a 135, offset should suit most 1's though. PCD 5 x 120 Front : 18 x 7.5 J ET49 Rear : 18 x 8.5 J ET52 Tyres specs: Toyo Proxes T1 Sport Front: 215/40/R18 Rear: 245/35/R18

Has had a week to sort it, and hasnt, going to be doing it the hardway at the disputes tribunal it seems... http://www.dkautomotive.co.nz/ - Avoid em like the plague.
