Sweet let us know what ya rekon, Walked up to SCA and picked up some of those wipers. $40.. each! Hook style for those that are interested.

Ultraracing brace sold.

BM Workshop Parts department to the rescue! Legends. Rekon a solid coupling is too harsh for the road? It might be an option for the future, as my headers wrap right around the coupling and likely caused the rubber one to fail. Be handy, if its not too harsh, as can likely get a 2024T3 one CNC'd up for a pack of timtams Thanks for the help, tempted to cancel my I.E order.

^ That sucks balls. Time to call BMW parts department

DO you still have these available? Ive ordered one from IE, but I need one now! Happy to buy/borrow/swap Etc.

Steering coupler just fell to peices today, noticed it was on its last legs during the swap, but its gone down hill rapidly with the headers wrapped around it.... How long do IE usually take to ship???? Murphy is an evil f**ker

Pics for those that asked. Also have 2 warrantable 215/45/17 Milanza HZ1's tyres for $100, or ill keep em for skids etc...

^ Decided to get the diegrinder on to it, pics to come when its tidied up Im much liking the way the E30 handles off the motorway at the moment, it feels sweet around the twisty bits, but im over the twitchyness on the motorway, and at speed with roads with funky/deep cambered edges. She doesnt like straight lines, constantly having to correct it as it either wants to tramline into ditches, or generally feel not very reassuring. Porbably quite fun as a drift car, not so great as a daily driver... Im thinking ive caused it with the 90sha bushes tightening the rear end up, and all the new balljoints in the front end, Added with the extra front camber might have actually reduced my front end caster. Im not 100% on this, shouldve got a wheel alignment when it was stock as a baseline. Done a bit of research, and come up with a plan. Gonna crank up the front ends camber from 2 too 2.5~3 degrees, raise the car 10mm all round which should see 2-2.5 degrees camber at the back end. Currently have 3 degrees at the rear and 2 at the front... Ordered some M3 offset CAB's (and that polyurenthane steering coupler) from ireland engineering, too try and increase the caster as much as possible Anyone with some experience on E30 suspension tweaking think im on the right track? Or should I be looking at caster adjustable tophats etc?

Cheap Taiwanese suspension? And you rate it highly? Keep that quiet or youll upset the fanbois

Bump Add to the list - Ultra racing E30 lower front strut brace, UR-LA2-493, New in packaging - $50

^ +1 along with the dude spreading the fake charity donation emails. Seriously disgusting wankers. What is cool though is apparently they have over flowing supplies of water/food and blood, people are getting turned away from the blood banks.

New Toyo T1R's at a sharp price cheers to Mag & tyre direct

Shweet, Cheers. He's just up the Rd too.

+1, Very cool car.

Cheers for the advice, would prefer someone else to do it though. Me and glass dont get on well. Had a ring around today Price ranging from $460+GST to 330 Incl

Ahhh Goodride, and triangle

Big Ups to the people of Chch, if theres anything we can do to help yell out. CHCH CROWD MAP LINK

Sweet, Ill keep an eye out. My wipers suck. Are you running M3 offset control arm bushings now? Whatya rekon compared to the stock bushes?, where you using the BC's before swapping the bushes? Im considering installing some in mine, hopefully to improve some of the "dartiness" at speed with some more caster, scared myself during the 5am commute to work this morning...

Quite possibly true, only ever heard it idling and getting moved about in the shop, it did sound the business doing that though

Anyone recommend me a windscreen fella to do my p/fl E30 (Auckland) Rough guide on what you'd expect to pay? Ive never found a glass man Ive actually liked before, either ripped me off for euro glass or theyve done a shoddy job. Got a nice crack in it last week, PITA as I was going to pull the glass out during the respray, but now am gonna have to do it twice....

Good spotting, they do look cool. Need more info

Mate had an XYGT Sitting in his shop for awhile, AFAIK stock engine, but it sounded very very tough (lumpy) with NO balance pipe in the custom exhaust. Sounded so tough, I asked how the exhaust was plumbed. Maybe its a firing order thing?

Mechanically Inept mate has a ~1996 Legnum VR4, Automagic. Its got 200k clicks on the clock and sounds like a chinese sweat shop full of sewing machines at idle. It hasnt had an oil change in 3 years (to give you an idea of its mechanical state...) It recently begun dying randomly, ie cruising down the motorway the engine will just stop, and wont restart for a few minutes. It does it seemingly at random, doesnt seem to matter if its accelerating etc etc. Its been to a few shops, Scan shows up nothing, another place has done a bunch of fuel system maintenance on it, charged $500 and it still does it. Its currently back at this shop, but I seriously think these clowns have no clue. I dont have much experience with these POS, but my theory is its either the ECU having a drysolder joint /bad contact somewhere, or the battery/alternator is shagged, havent tried to diagnose it myself though, just guesses. Anyone have any experience with these things, or any suggestion on what else too look at?
