Great question.

best grip in a road legal tyre - Dunlop Direzza DZ02G (competition tyre)

shameless quote from Jim Richards "the best targa tyre I've ever used"

come in a few different compounds.

Durability usually means cheap - but my Direzza DZ101s have been lasting me pretty well, up to 30k now and probably another 10-15k in them

depending on how many track days I do on them. and are a bloody good tyre.

although I'm going to try the sportmaxx next and see what thats like.

as to the Hardest wearing tyre, I'm not really sure. but if you look after any tyre with a wheel alignment at least once a year and rotate them every 5k you can get alot more out of your tyres, if you have Directional tyres, get them flipped on the rim so you can swap them diagonally when you rotate them.

Tyre Experts, some people are better than others. ppl who I rate would be

Me - I trip around every major motorsport event rally, circuit and Targa

doing tyres for people and my day job is Marketing for South Pacific tyres.

Otherwise my personal tyre techs I rate list would be, in no particular order.

Peter Wildbore at Beaurepaires Palmerston North

Erle Grey, Beaurepaires Barrys Point Rd in AKL

Shaun Brown, Frank Allen Tyres Greenlane

Blair Struthers, Goodyear Wanganui

Wayne at Beaurepaires Taumaranui

Craig, beaurepaires Glenfield

These are all people who have worked with us for years mostly in Motorsport

and all know their stuff.

More than happy to help out people, just email me

did you get the bastards Rego?

the bit I found hard when upgrading was finding a black headunit with the specs I wanted. lots of flashy silver ones around

Eclipse cd3434 worked for me in the end, lots of potential to expand

and doesnt look too out of place, personally i dont need cartoons and displays when i drive

good old Luxorbeige would be the best dirt hider

had a jag in the same colour and it was brilliant, looked okish even when filthy

shameless plug

Beaurepaires have 12 months interest free finance on at the moment

and can get the bmw replicas from www.bgworldwheels.co.nz

the routecompany ones

also, you can get your finance approved online before you even rock into the store

so you don't get denied in public (which is nice believe me)

sorry andrew more a helpful tip than out and out advertising

E36 325i

i'll give you $100 for the SPAM plate

depending on what you have wedged in there you might get away with trimming the plastic tabs where the rear bumper meets the wheel arch.

thats where mine rubs with a full load of ppl, just about worn it off now

the super size me guy was a pussy

his misses was vegan which pretty much means he is.

I'd own that challenge, smoke some cigarettes, and run a 1/2 marathon

I don't know, at full tit I could get to work in 2.35 mins

thats valuable sleeping in time

due to expression of interest, I'm pretty sure I've got a lion red set of fluffy dice

in red funnily enough

Price 1 Pint of Beer, not lion red though, Macs Gold will do nicely

190 would be about right, mine got 164 at the wheels so taking in drivetrain loss

esp with auto, if seems to add up

Kiwi535's must be a motorsport its got the Rally Edition mudflaps

they are huge

The really sad bit about all of this is a bunch of scrotums are affecting your choice of car.

If someone wants in, I dont think its going to matter if its conv or not.

bastards certainly didnt think twice about smashing the window on mine.

thread wires through the canvas and hook it up to a battery, it will give any clown with a knife a helluva surprise.

cool another E36, I seem to be the only one that actually turns up in one at the welly events. so come on down next time we do something.

its going to look pretty sharp, good job mate

I only go out with girls who smoke because I can't be arsed taking sh*t about it.

and it makes you look cooler and tougher.

that said, I still like the no smoking in bars thing, it helps me cut down a hell of a lot, maybe one smoke an hour now instead of incessant chain smoking.

well except when bars smell like feet, then a nice masking odour of smoke is not a bad thing

I'll do whatever job has the most power and the least responsiblity.

but I'll lend a hand down wellywood if needed

also have a look at the sensor wires at the bottom of the reservoir

have had dirty/loose connections trigger the coolant level warning before

I think Martyyn was talking about a dont mention the war sort of thing

unless I too have the wrong end of the stick

how does

1) the house get cleaned

2) food prepared and delivered

3) beer delivered to you whilst you watch TV on the couch

4) or clothes washed, dried, folded and put away

1. Badly

2. Pizza Guy

3. Chilly bin by couch

4. I manage the wash and dry bit, as for the rest......meh

single life kicks ass

20hour playstation session, no problem

weekend on the piss with the boys, no problem

bring home dirty dirty pub sluts, no problem

car parts in the bedroom, no problem

no bitching halfway through bathurst " how long is this thing its boring lets watch something else, all you do is watch tv all day long (smack) and anothe........thud

that will do it, its just visual merchandising 101

used to work on a dealership in greenlane years ago, and the boss would have us

shifting cars around for hours to get it just right

Shelly Bmw is pretty boring although their showroom doesn't help much, you cant see much when you are driving past.

their new one is being built as we speak a couple of doors up from me

so will be watching with interest, artists rendition looks ok

but they do seem to have boring cars don't they.

If it was me it would be chocka block with M3 csl's M5's etc.......

Nice and light now, did you drive it there (even though that would be naughty)
