Dunno about the bonnet louvres, rest is pretty cool! https://www.wheelwell.com/profile/560ab0eb33abb6e32eae40e0/vehicles/560ab11133abb6e32eae40e4/specs/

You mean people accelerate to 100kmh before the end of the on ramps? NZ (South Auckland particularly) needs a new road sign that says : Get off ya Fn Phone and Hurry The F Up for the next 100km

Awesome cars, but definitely marketed at asshats... Some of the slides look a lil CGI

Looks like leds in the front gaurds too? Could be the pics, but I see a few different shades of white too... Poor thing.

Nissan Micra Nur Spec Type R... Rewa.

E46 M3 318i AC Schnitzer HKS, Possibly tuned by Greddy, coupe. In Newmarket. Hope its not a members

Cool company, had no idea they made so much stuff in house.

Whatya think about the condition based maintenance thing? ~15k between oil changes seems crazy.

Yeah looks like just outside qtown and the Milford sound Rd.

Definitely needs more cowbell.

Fitting that would make it look different

Dropped the 130 off to Glenn at Botany Motor Works, service and box/diff fluids, they nailed it. The only finding being I need an LSD to solve the asymetric rear tyre wear (thats what im telling the wife anyway ) Shifts nicer already, guessing the BMW "lifetime" manual box fluid has well and truely broken down at 150k!

Heya, Weighing up putting an LSD in the 6 speed 130, has anyone tried one? any recommendations? The standard LSD upgrade option seems to be the Quaife unit, around $1000 euro+ p&p, into stock housing. Speedfactor NZ seem to have some Torsen units, ~$1.5kNZ, think they are RUF Technic Taiwanese units... Dunno the quality? Possibly is a WaveTrac option, cant find many details though. E90 M3 Diff may or may not fit, confusing, may have swap rear subframe. Any thoughts, itd be nice to be able to accelerate with traction/stability control off!

What a bellend.

Interesting Any idea on the history of it? I remember my Grandfather owning one (or 3, he hoarded stuff, had backyard full of cars/boats/washing machines...) and lived in Mokau for many many years (Takarei terrace) . Passed away years ago, but his "collection" wouldve likely been broken up around local community.

Hahahaha, im resisting urge to use four letter words in replies I guess the combo of Tardme and a WRX attracts the best of the best

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=948832187 Im getting hassled by dreamers at the moment, one guy who wants to swap the headlights and front bumper (plus some cash my way) If anyone knows someone who wants a good one, point em this way

Agreed, I did work experience for a year with a Toyota dealership, awesome opportunity and learnt a bunch. Have you rung up a local high school? One of the tech class teachers may be able to point you at someone suitable.

Hahhaha, just interesting device Glenn, I have no intentions of hacking my car. Interesting how open BMW left the control units on canbus etc to allow new software to be written by third parties.

Anyone played with one of these? Thoughts? http://www.mycarly.com/product/bmw-app/ Does some interesting things

very very nice

State have been horrific for many years, back when I was a teenager, I had my skyline insured under my mothers policy, with me as a registered driver. Had a woopsie, rear end a crappy old galant. Skyline broke a headlight, Galant was written off. Insurance all went through fine. 1 month later, State sent me a letter saying they were taking me to court for insurance fraud, along with a bill for $8000. Much legal shenanigans later, I didnt pay, and am blacklisted from state insurance. Wouldnt touch them with a barge pole either. I used to work for a panel beater in Hamilton, they refused to do work for state insurance as state never paid what it actually cost to repair cars. FYI, Im insured through AMI, who gobbled up CLIC insurance (modfied cars), and they have been shweet as to deal with, home/contents & 3 cars, including old swapped engine coilovers etc E30, no complaints.
