This is awesome. I have a secret carb fetish, so this project really gets me going haha! Subscribed.

Is the sound a rythmic pulse or a constant hum? My thoughts are wheel bearing. Could a buckled rim, though the noise points toward bearings. FWIW, i had a buckled rim on the front which was causing a bad shake that could be felt through the floor and seat, but not through the steering wheel.

3-4 cans of redbull a day and 3 coffees.

Mate, this is Awesome! Looks like i'll be trying to find an old dishwasher when i move too

Yes, However the income amount that they will calculate from is capped at around (i forget the exact figures) $115kpa. So really, one could argue that the motivation is there to better yourself. Indeed. I'm lucky as my kids live in the same town as me, and I'm even luckier as I have a private agreement with the kids mum. At the end of the day, i think she's just happy to be getting 20odd k out of me a year, as she knows i could easily just rejig things and pay the minimum. Not that i would do that, but she's not to know that!

Just saw DRTE30 on Bowen st. Looking tight! I'm sure that was the plate, but carjam lists it as a laurel??

I get what your saying, but sometimes a shotguns all thats available. I like the changes as they send a very clear signal to current and (more importantly) - future recipients that the benefit is NOT a lifestyle choice. Furthermore, those that actually do work will be able to earn more without it affecting their benefit. I'd say thats pretty win, wouldn't you?

1. Their benefit will only be stopped if they fail to LOOK for work. 2. I was on a sickness benefit for 9 months. I found a job washing dishes, and then as a cook. I did this for two years until i found a real job that paid me real money. 3. Where i grew up, going on a benefit was most definitely a lifestyle choice. Its these people the changes are targeted at.

Thats because the legacys have a final drive of 4.44 (well, at least the BD/BG5C do) - 3000rpm at 100k or so. My 540i is cheaper to run on the motorways than my RSB. However, around town the RSB kills the 540 in the economy stakes.

Ian, You make me want to keep my 540. Are you keeping the stock 2.93 diff, or are you swapping out to 3.15/3.45?

N62B48!!!

From the plane. btw, whats shellite?

Not to mention substantially worse fuel consumption.

Made with 99% Snake Oil.

Cheers for the comments guys. MrDevine - $1250 installed is a very good price. Did the person giving the quote have any experience with these cars? I ask only because in order to replace the rear struts, the parcel shelf has to come out, and thats about half a days work right there. The Monroes are not a patch on Bilsteins, but still better than the flogged boges that were in it before. H&Rs as per Creavers comments above.

New pics added. Gave it a clean today and its come up great!

I'd rather have This BMW Bike:

No Drag car but. http://www.kiwiev.com/

Just had another look, yep. You're right. definately not M-Pars!

Yep. Dreaded VOD. I have a sequential controller in mine, and a hybrid VF18/31 primary turbo. The seq. controller does a great job of minimising the vod, but ever since i put the new primary on I'm finding that VOD is much worse. Next step is to single turbo it. I'll never sell this car, its my preciousssss lol. + With the bigger sway bars, bilsteins, and healthy bushes, the twisties are sooo much fun!

Yes! Though the bootlid will require a tidy up before this is put on. Have just put brand new rubber on the rear too Cheers for the comments going to (finally) take more pics this weekend. Haha, I love Mini's. I've had had a enough of them to be well familiar with all of their quirks But as stated, I've decided to get a bike+license for now. I want to be riding a Ducati in 12 months. As for that black E34 on Mpars? Yup. As the guy said, he stole it. I'm well aware of what these are worth, and within the bounds of common sense I am Negotiable. However, it must also be taken into account that I've put in a reasonable amount of time + cash in to this car and will be significantly out of pocket when it goes. I've already been offered $4500 for it, but I'm happy to sit on it to get closer to my asking price. But all said and done, The market will decide what it's worth.

C&C Generals. Never get bored of a good skirmish!

lost interest in selling this almost immediately. However, I have now found a bike i want so the car's gotta go. $5750 New Rubber getting put on the rear tomorrow.

My Shimmy's dissapeared when i had the buckles taken out of my replicas
