Surge

Hi Deano, Will need to check on - cars located in Avonhead, I'm in Spreydon. CourtM3, Not sure on that - maybe someone else on these forums could help? The engine in my 1986 320i physically seems identical, right down to a fuel relay from an E28 5-series, I'm thinking the engine is a 1985 one.. or the same. - Will check on condition of car wiring harness.

International Money Transfer (IMT) is your friend Gus ~$25 charge with most banks...

Dying to see this.. Get those pictures up!

Sounds like someone got thier car pinky'ed... Didn't realise it was possible to do that... I've only heard of replacing the factory shocks.

surge is surge.

Don't debadge, half of the time only people who know thier bmw's can read them anyway. Most assume 318i is german for 'slow'!

A worthy replacement if I ever saw one.... 335i badge is plain evil.... "It's a stock beemer, slow as mate"

Whilst pulling away from DIY wheel repairs... I was amazed at how cheap it was to fully refurbish a straight wheel with damage from my crashed car, The whole rim right around it had chips out of the lip (think curbing all around) - only $30 to make it like new at a place here.

The ideal solution is ripping out the aerial, covering the hole and putting it somewhere else! Come to think about it... I've yet to have an E30 with a fully working radio...

Crikey... That's a sorry sight. I've already purchased 2 fire extinguishers for when the cars on the road. Do you think they wouldn't have stopped the fire doing too much damage if you had one on you? Got any older pics of it in good shape as a momento? I feel sorry for the thing and you, hit the sweet leaf up....

Mmm sexy.. Can't wait till my mate gets an E34...

Easier (and cheaper) to pick up some signwriters vinyl or just prime them then paint any colour you want under the sun.

I'd reccomend DCH Motorsport (Washbournes road) to perform the conversion if you can't do it yourself - haven't heard of GAC. I'm in the process of doing a manual conversion myself on my 320i, sourced a parts car to provide bits for the swap - makes things very easy. Your mates 318is white with the IS front lip? May have seen it around - looks good.

Hey man, Brought the 14"s off you a while back - two are looking worse for wear after going off Dyers pass road... Got a 320i now, in the process of converting it to manual and replacing all the damaged stuff. Seen your car around heaps aye. Paint those bumpers black, would make it look ten times better. Still eating tyres with that much camber?

The only thing better than a white four door is a white AC Schnitzer kitted four door. Nice car.

It's loud, but not a nice loud. There's a difference between 'tuned to the extreme' and 'running like sh*t' loud, sounds like the latter. Sounds fine past a few thousand RPM though.

What you need is a plate you throw over the gearstick with "P N D 1 2 3" on it - then you'll be set if you get pulled over. Working clutch does wonders for the legs.. It's depressing how for $200 you can't do much for your car.... Cain's on the money - airfilter and screwdriver to kill the inside of the cat.

If anyones interested I've got a set of rear Kings Springs (I know they're kings, Not sure if they are Superlows - judging on the ride height I assume so) to swap for another brand of rear lowered springs (Jamex, Dobis etc...) for an E30 325i. The 325i regularly carries gear in the boot and with the car being lowered results in a mean negative rake.

I'm in the same boat. Tell me the proper way to get rid of a car before I grind off the VIN then scuttle it at sea.

If you get the middle done in gloss when you're driving it comes up shiny and looks tres p.i.m.p. White centres, polished lip would be original

Post it up Aliluya.

Chopped. Black: Shadowchrome Charcoal Polished Lip, Gloss black centre

Polished lip, black centre... Is rather sexy. Esspecially a proper polished one, Not like my 'painted silver' one - still looks good.

Mum's Accord got egged a few months ago (wonder why?) a stray egg flew over it and smashed on the wall behind it (which my dereg shitbox 320i sits) splashed some yolk on it, where it's landed it's clean stripped the paint off! - If only they could've done the whole car..... So given a few months egg will strip the paint right back to bare metal. Done quite a nice job of it.... No residue.
