  1. 16 y/o single malt. (settle lads, whiskey!)
  2. Doing skids. Juvenile, i know. But ohhh so much fun.
  3. I need help!! This morning I jumped in the 540 and it cranked but wouldn't start. I perservered for a while (30-60 secs or so) and it fired and ran, allowing me to back it out of the garage. I parked it up, letting it idle, at which point it died. No missing or shaking, just cut right out. So I cranked it again, and after about 15 secs or so it started, and idled fine. after a few mins i killed it, went inside for 10 mins or so and then it just wouldnt start (cranking, but not firing). Thisafternoon i decided to have another look at it, and it simply will not fire. not even close. Yesterday I had the plugs out and cleaned them up, and it started and ran fine after doing so. I've checked all the coil connections, and all appears good. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on?
  4. There's a set of turbines on ebay. if you know someone in the uk.
  5. Cheers! I'd edit the topic title, but can't seem to?? Anyways. There's nothing quite like a well set up e34 on T2's! These fill the need category rather than the want category lol.
  6. Tint Magic in porirua did my legacy for $300. 35% all round. Had to take the car back as the tint on the left rear passenger window lifted, but apart from that, mint job. Have never had an issue with WOF's, even at VTNZ as it has the 35% certified stickers. Will be using them again for the 540i
  7. +1 E34 540's are pretty much currently at their bottom dollar. Where abouts is the car?
  8. I used this stuff called Pelle leather cleaner. Worked a charm. After the clean, i conditioned it with their wax oiled product. I need to give the front seats another going over, but the rears look and feel like new!!
  9. Out of interest, anyone here built a bimmer V8 with FI?
  10. This is how men become "pigs/assholes/bastards" I love that women only have themselves to blame.
  11. I've sold 4 cars this year, none of which have been on TM. Guess I'm just lucky that my grass berm is on a 50km/h of SH1, and probably sees even more traffic than TM? Haven't had a car sitting out there for longer than a week either. Granted, none of them have been M3's, but the last one was a specialist vehiclethat probably had a similar sized target audience. My 2c? Try a high visibility, busy road if you can.
  12. my 540 is begging me for a set. Someone able to help a brother out? Edit. Type 1's? Type II's? Not sure. these ones anyway: E: Changed thread title for you
  13. It all depends on how they have been looked after. Subarus like to be loved, and will throw a tanty if they're not! My old WRX was an absolute basket case. Diff issues, trans issues, just about every seal was blown resulting in oil leaks that even an MG would be jealous of. My Legacy on the other hand Is NZ New, has a FSH and has been fastidiously maintained. Apart from routine maintenence, it hasn't missed a heartbeat. I've travelled 40,000km in it in the last 12 months, and its running as well as it ever has. No mean feat considering it has the high strung TT EJ20R engine. Its such a well set up car too. Factory bilsteins, adj whiteline RSB, and a quality front strut brace combine to turn the whale in to a weapon in the twisties. The trademark legacy understeer is all but gone. Probably the favourite car i've ever owned. Period. But i digress. They are stolen lots because many a retard chooses to own them! I shake my head everytime i see one sacked out on chromies etc. It makes me sad!

    E32 735i

    Any chance you'd take some cash and 15" basketweaves for the schnitzers/reps If you have difficulty selling it?

    Fuel Economy

    Worst i ever got was 45l/100km in a V8 Rangie Vogue towing a fully loaded tandem axle/braked furniture trailer from Lower Hutt to Paraparaumu Beach. Mind you, it was a well worn pig of a truck

    Facey is slow!

    TCL customer here, and i've been experiencing this issue periodically for a couple of weeks with both Facebook and windows Live. I suspect the TCL DNS servers are at fault.
  17. Waking up to an epic melodic death metal track. EG: Clayman or swim by inflames. THIS! http://www.sportscardigest.com/brm-v16-engine-sound-video Young women with big brown eyes and plentiful bewbies. Lampton Quay on a hot summer day! Perfectly cooked RARE eye fillet. Monteiths Black. Bush Mills 16y/o single malt.
  18. I can't answer your question, but i do know the following; 1. H&R do different springs for the sixes and eights 2. The Jamex supplier has told me the 6 springs are fine on the 8's 3. The 540i is approx 130KG heavier than a fully loaded 525i Personally, I'd go for 540/530i specific items.

    Loose Change.

    A BIG one! Anything else is reasonably irrelevent, becasue she saw a big, jet powered passenger plane heading directly toward the pentagon. With her own two eyes! The thing that really makes me giggle about all this is that even IF the us had the nouse to coordinate such an attack, do you really think they would have the ability to keep it quiet? Hell, they couldn't even keep watergate in the bag.

    Loose Change.

    My mates sister was 2 blocks away from the pentagon at the time it was hit. It was a plane. She saw it. End of story.
  21. Both agree and disagree. I cut my teeth on a MKII Escort with a well worked and healthy 1600 xflow. It was on 155 biscuits and I had plenty of gravel roads at my disposal. That car taught me untold about tail happy RWD car control. My next car was a mini 1000s toting a 1275 with rejetted twin su's. The overgrown go-cart taught me immeasurable things about FWD handling, as did the next car, a 1500cc alfasud. Years (and 30 something FWD+RWD cars) later, when i bought my first AWD (wrx) i discovered i had yet more skills to learn due to the different dynamics of AWD. they all have their pluses and minuses, but to state that any particular drivetrain layout may or may not be the pinnacle of driving is really more than a little silly.
  22. +1 I have Proxes 4 on my legacy, and they sh*t all over the GIII's that were on it before.
