Very pretty. I like alot

Selling the beast!!! Need the money to fund a hilux i've bin looking at and i'm not too keen to wait around so its going cheap. Heres the trademe auction: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=306081957

So is it going to remain a dedicated track car?

YOU WHAT!!!! f**k me sideways this is going to be epic in similar proportions to the fall of troy!

Sorry graham but i'm just going have to say that they're worth it. this ones nice ==> http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-298405107.htm 2.8L too!!!!

Keen on the suede with twin red stitching for both gear and handbrake. How long does it normally take to get to nz?

sh*t i want badly, damn it how sh*t you really want pops up when you've already spent the money elsewhere. Whats the offset? edit: or is e46 the offset?

I could be keen on these, but money's a bit sparse atm. Will get back to you about em as soon as i've got the dosh.

Have front H&R sport springs. Heres a link to what my old car looked like with them installed: http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....ame+out+to+play

Bump for auction finishing in 30mins

Coilover fronts - using the standard 51mm struts modified a bit, king springs, bilstein inserts, adjustable top mounts. Front brakes are e46 m3 rotors, and 4 pot evo brembos

sh*t woops i meant se side skirts, like the ones off the Norwegian lagoon green e30. Was thinking about Max's touring with them on. The cars a coupe btw, sorry for confusion. Pretty much identical to before, except its all going into a 2 door now. Im hoping for at least 400hp atrw on a low boost setup. But will be doing some internal work once shes all up and running and will see how much i can boost reasonably.

So i guess i've kept you guys in the dark for awhile now, and its time i uploaded some pictures of my project. Earlier this year me and a mate headed down to Nelson on a Sunday morning and ended up back in Auckland at 530am Monday with this: Now after a little work heres a few teasers: I'm not rushing this one too much, just want it to get done right the first time. If anyone has any se side skirts id be keen to take them off your hands. Watch this space for updates....

**New Pictures Added***

Not quite, but shes very close. Hopefully will have the engine in for the final time this weekend.

Trademe auction: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.as...765&ed=true Will post some more pics up in the next few days. Need the dough to fund some badass Recaro SRD's Heres the picutres. Didnt get any off the door cards as had trouble getting good quality pictures on my phone, camera went for a swim awhile back so they'll have to do. They look 10x better in person tbh. Only tear is on the right drivers side bolster, otherwise only a few light scratches which would come out with a little tlc.

you wouldnt consider selling ur skirts would you?

Good to see the car today max, shes stunning in real life. I have a grey sunroof head-liner if you want and also intake boot. I need some money from the black interior to fund my recaros so if you want them within a week then they're yours for 500, otherwise i'll just put them on trademe as need money asap.

thanks for the heads up

I contacted car colours and they said it is easily done, just need the paint code as alpineweiss came in one of these three; 146, 218 or 300. Hopefully all going well i'll have a shiney engine bay dragon by the end of the weekend. Cheers guys

Sweet, i'll do that and see how it goes. Will post a few pics up here if anyone wants some insight on how to do convert auto pedals to manual.

I used mapecu2 to convert to a maf sensor. Was around 900 all up but got great results, the accelerator was touchy as f**k!!!

I'm presuming i can then just give em a ring and quote the bmw part number? Cant really colour match as the car is not going anywhere in its current state.

Yup i get it, if i remove the spring, that will ease any resistance in the booster connecting rod? Previously i had a lot of trouble getting the manual pedal out even after removing the u clip and pin, cant remember if i removed the spring or not Does anyone know whats with the differences in booster connecting rod assemblies. My jap auto 320 has a compression spring attached to the pedal, while the nz new 325 has a torsion spring attatched over the bell crank adjacent to the booster itself. Not sure if i will need to swap these components aswell, do they do the same thing? or is one system any better than the other?

I f**ked my line fittings on removal and need the two front rigid lines for a non abs e30. Also i removed a few brackets in the engine bay and need some touch up paint in alpine white? Does anyone know where i can score this from in spray can form? Any knowledge would be appreciated.
