Haha cheers i might give it a go. Though i'm a little worried about the fact that my car isn't a nice example of anything. In fact it's about the exact opposite lol it's more like a roadworthy paddock basher

Bah ahwell guess i'll just have to enjoy the couple months i have left 'till the WOF's due lol

Yeah true i think i'll get them checked over by a friend of a friend who's a Mechanic. I don't really trust them anyway lol me and my brother installed them in the dark with a torch haha it's just that i'm completely broke at the moment so i can't even afford a wheel alignment... or the petrol to get my car to the workshop

Hey guy's i've installed some lowering springs in my car on stock height shocks and they do sit captive.. as long as only one side's jacked up. Apparently these are supposed to be as low as you can legally go without shortened shocks but when both front wheels are off the ground the springs are very loose but when it's only jacked up on one side they're solid as anything, the rears seem to be fine. Just wondering if this will pass a COF? Any help is appreciated Cheers Sam

I get quite a lot of road noise from mine. Although that might be due to the fact that i have no sound insulation

Haha loving the 90's porn Music at the start lol

Is anyone else annoyed by the fact that the seller doesn't use the word "Wheel" after steering??

Woah looks like you got a real bargain there. It's a really nice looking car.

Haha It's so true. I Know the Waitakere and Howick ones from experience lol

Hmm i think my first mission in my E30 was Installing a new Headunit and 4 speakers, replacing some interior panels and fitting a new clock When i first got it it had no clock, no stereo, no shocks on the left side it was missing a few interior trim panels and was covered in an Inch-thick layer of dirt... and it wasn't running lol. I think i did a pretty good job of it lol

Cat sleeps on car - Car sleeps on cat. Problem Solved

Hey i'd definately be interested. I need a spare key anyway lol

You can never go wrong with a 3-Series touring lol Great looking cars imo but i guess the weight factor would affect the handling a bit.. But they look great and are very practical

Yeah if you're just looking for Volume then you'd probably wanna go for the 6x9s but if you're looking for better sound quality and smoother sound then you should definately go for the 6.5s or maybe even some better quality 5.25s and maybe a sub in the back for some better bass. But yeah just realised that just about everyone else on here has just said exactly that lol

Ahaha that's awesome lol

Lol you guys should make some bimmersport Jackets. I'd pay good money for one of those (If i had any )

Coz the boot has a push button that locks and unlocks with the doors, so it's impossible to lock the keys in the boot without a second pair lol

Lol you'd never have this problem with an E30

OMG E36 COMPACT! Everytime i see one i'm like lol and 1 series... i guess i just hate BMW Hatchbacks altogether lol they just don't do it for me. Love the wagons though

Depends on the Condition of the Rx7 in comparison the the Evo, though i think you'd be getting a good deal if you go for the Rx7. My 2c

Wow that's a very nice car lol it's good to see something different on here as (Dare i say it) i've seen so many modded BMWs it's sorta getting a little repetitive So what are your plans with this Beast? Are you gonna take it to shows and stuff? It looks like it could definately be a prize winner lol

Hiya Tune Your guess was pretty much on the money, These cars have a "feed the glass in" system, where the rubber stays on the body and glass is installed. Tools. Medium size flat head screw driver, preferrably blunt. Glaziers us a plastic type fitting tool Glass cleaner Claytonrite or filler tool.... large. (a local glazing company may lend you one.) Safety gloves and glasses Masking tape...for your paint work as i have seen a few pin stripes made with the screw driver 1. Check new screen for any damage ..e.g. chips,cracks or and delamination (white discolouration around the edges) as these will fail a warrant. 2. Carefully remove the strip in the centre of the rubber without cracking it. Best bet is to choose between the original strip or the one from the donor car to refit later 3. With a blunt screw driver carefully slide it between the glass and rubber, to release the pressure from the rubber to the glass. Spray soapy water in the gap made and run the screw driver around the glass again without putting any pressure against the glass but lifting the rubber away from the glass. Try not to catch the edge of the glass as the chips or shells are a weak spot 4.(The most critical part of the removal procedure) It pays to have two people sitting inside the car, with both hands putting even pressure on the top part of the screen. Hands should be about shoulder width apart with fingers and palms spreading the weight evenly. The screen should move as soon as the pressure is applied, if not, run the screw driver around the glass and rubber edge again, but on the inside this time. Warning!....the glass is usually very tight against the rubber so be very careful. 5. As soon as the glass starts to release, push it out far enough so most of it is out of the rubber along the top and sides. Lift out of donor car Installation 1. Spray rubber with glass cleaner/soapy water or silicone spray. 2. Slot the lower part of the screen into the rubber until even on both sides. Keep the top half of the glass away from the rubber until you have fed the lower half of the glass in 3. With the screw driver, pull the rubber from under the glass and over. It should be easy, if not gently lift the top of the glass away from the rubber and slowly lower as you feed the glass into the rubber. Starting at the bottom corners, up both sides, then along the top Remember if its not easy, stop and check why. 4. With the glass fed into place, spray the rubber with glass cleaner where the filler strip goes. Starting at the bottom centre, slide about 20mm into the rubber. With the screw driver, slide along the strip about 20mm on one side then the other until finished Oh yes ....TAKE YOUR TIME The usual time for any competent glazier to install an E30 w/screen is about 10mins Cheers

Hey welcome scotty, nice E36 haha how much did that set you back?

Haha i've left the handbrake on even when my light was working properly I Don't know if i could be trusted to drive without one haha
