Update. Have found a Genuine ACS front lip for it, will be taking it in to the plastic welders next week to be repaired, and then it will be off to the paint shop to be painted, along with the bonnet and front bumper. Have fitted a Msport three spoke steering wheel with volume controls etc, and have accumulated most parts and tools i need to do the vanos and cooling system. Fixed a rattle in the front brake disc shield and a rattle in one of the rear calipers. My Monitor has gone south again, so will have to pull the headunit and open it up again and see what i can do for a more permanent fix. I also intend to add an Aux in port via the redundant tape deck when i'm in there. Getting sick of newstalk ZB. Unlikely to get anything mechanical done till some time in march, but can look at doing a DIY if anyone is keen. Though i'm not so good at taking pics. Can try though!

Damn. I LOVE a well sorted e28, and this would be tits on the right wheels and coilovers. Colour is perfect! Style 5's FTW.

6 or 8? Mine had tell tale burn marks on the headers from weeping rocker cover. Oddly, it's stopped doing it since oil change etc. Well be replacing gasket when I do the vanos, so no drama. Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Tapatalk

Fixed rattle coming from L/R caliper, and rattle coming from R/F brake dust shield. Now sipping on a homebrew Bush honey hefe. Job well done. Sent from my HTC_PN071 using Tapatalk

Only worthwhile with a roots or twin screw. Eaton M112 as mentioned above for example. But then, you would be unlikely to need to twincharge with one of those, unless you were the type that really got off on solving complex problems and finding innovate solutions. Jason has the right idea. Dirty great truck turbo sitting where the airbox normally is on an M6x. Pipework would be a challenge though.

Nah. It was a lot tidier than that.

Rego is LR something. Anyone know this car? If so, and you know the owner could you please PM me. I would dearly love to have a chat with him.

Gorgeous white E60 550i on the gorge. HAE811.

Heh, 15.5k for an M52 E39 that lacks OBC control. Its a VERY nice looking car though and worth good coin. But for 3k less you could have Eagles 6 speed 540 motorsport.

Legacy. EZ30R with a nice exhaust sounds tits. Goes nearly as well as the turbo ones too.

Wrapped all the ugly wood wit 3m brushed aluminum. Did the gear lever surround in place, will have to pull it out and redo. Rest came up a charm and looks great .

Mate I'm looking for one of these.

Was 30k in December. Has been on there for at least as long as the 330. Gotta wonder how he's still in business?

Continued to accumulate bits for cooling system over haul and Vanos Seal replacement. Installed K&N panel filter. 6000xBetterer than the cheap repco air filter/blocker that was in there previously.

Subarus are easy to kill, but conversely they are easy to keep alive as well. Like any car, the mantra is MAINTAIN, MAINTAIN, MAINTAIN. oil changes every 5k, oil+filter every 10k. The brakes on the povo pack turbo models are average (WRX.GTB/RSB) etc, but are easily upgradeable to sti units which are significantly better. However, I had standard calipers and discs on my RSB, and paired with a set of bendix ultimates and a master cylinder brace, the thing would stop on a dime. Provided the brakes were hot, that is.

bought my old ones with brand new RE001's for $1200. Coulda done with a refurb though.
