Drool.

Anyone come across this before? Fault code logged - Communication error with LH mirror, thought it was erroneous, have just figured out its not though. Every once in a while the dip funtion when sticking car in reverse doesnt work. Im guessing its a wiring fault, dirty plug, or something. Wondering if anyone has any clues on where to start looking? Google isnt helping me, so im guessing its not common.

Yup some cool places to fly around there! If there wasnt an airstrip at the base of Milford, I wouldve gone for a tiki tour up the sound, it had just rained so squillions of waterfalls everywhere. Andy - Dreadzone remix, off their radio edits/cuts album from ages ago. Polley - Roughly 13min on a pack depending on how hard I push it, its setup to be pretty sporty at the expense of flight time, more fun doing flips and being able to play rocket ship. Slightly more on topic, also did some racing at CRC speedshow, was supposed to be racing against the cars, wouldve been awesome race against the evo, but it got canned unfortunately... based on our lap times pretty sure wouldve wooped em (probably why was canned haha )

Cheers, was pre Aug 1st so no property owners consent rules needed, I fly UAVs for a crust and do the testing for the cert, so all legit. The camera on the gimbal is just a gopro 3+ black, flight camera is a 800tvl Sony Effio-V

Did roughly 4000km around the south island with the wife at the end of last summer, 2 weeks driving around. Crappy diesel Holden cruise, but at least gas was cheap! Bought my toy, Discovery Pro FPV Quad, along for the ride, and flew it at pretty much every opportunity Lots of fun, seriously amazing countryside. Bit more of it here

Damnit, someone give me $100k to play with. Wasnt that engine the basis of the mclaren f1s powerplant?

Very nice, how did the handling change with so little weight now on the front wheels?

Cheers, interesting read. I wonder if turning the TC off by holding down the button is just making the diff appear more open. Some scientific testing is needed.

Hydraulic steering, Definitly turns the e diff off with the DTC button held down for a few seconds, seems like all that remains is ABS, behaves exactly like a very open diff Maybe the functionality varies between models?

Have I got this right ? (e87 130) No Push DTC button - Full stability control and traction control, "e diff" doing its thing. *yawn* Push DTC button, Full stability control, traction control wound down (??) Assuming it still controls diff through braking the spinning wheel? Hold DTC button, No stability control, no traction control, very open diff

I bet his mum tells him he looks like 50c.

Winning - Being able to fix funny lookin back end of 130 with a sticker

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!
