    Quick rant thread.

    that dipshit with the "open letter" now moderating posts. pussy. Cant handle the jandle.
  3. Not surprising when there are so many around, and nz has such a great culture of looking after things properly.

    dealing with sellers is almost as bad as dealing with buyers at times

    All cars looking great, but your E31 is looking amazing now. So staunch.
  8. if insurance will cover it (without glass cover), id get a genuine one fitted at the dealer and just pay the excess.

    just like f**king smokers biffing their butts our the window. f**k you.
  10. ah nuts, already have a cam follower on the way from the states. cheers though. Yeah its easy to retune them. Will be looking to get a stage 2 revo tune done after i replace the intake and downpipe.
  11. looks like its all been packed up and gone. http://maxbimmer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78119&highlight=abandoned&page=15
  12. thats an ex-member car. DaveO? Gorgeous looking car with some good features/spec. great color too, his photos really do not do it justice imo.
  13. yeah there are a few synpowers. best to check on the bottle which standard it meets. http://synpower.com.au/products-range/
  14. oh, the general consensus is that the tails look better in person than in photos. i didnt like them when i saw the photos but theyve grown on me a lot. also helps the car stand out in the sea of golfs with red, round tails. The edition 30 and pirelli models, other than having more power and various other cosmetic differences, have body colored lower trim. Its an interesting choice being unpainted, makes the golf look a bit cheap really. I might color code when i can be bothered and have some spare cash.
  15. the golf GTI is a hell of a lot of fun to drive. its also built and drives better than any corolla.
  16. i really like the look of the MSport model, but not so much the normal ones.
  17. yeah but the non-GTI golf uses a different, 7 speed, prone to failure DSG box to the GTI. I have a MK5 GTI with DSG. 161,000KM jap import. has service history, including DSG and runs like clockwork. There are some things to keep an eye on, like the HPFP cam follower and turbo diverter valve as they like to fail, but other than that if its fully serviced youre good to go. Keep in mind with imports though that dealers are shifty c**ts and often wont do the cambelt and waterpump on the low KM ones. This is mine. Highly specced, heated leather, auto everything, HID, Shadow Blue. Has some mods from japan. I love it.
  18. ive used synpower in my past few cars, including all my BMWS (M50, M52 and S50 engines) with great success. Reduced oil use, and made the engines quieter. In the case of the M3 it was also effective in cleaning some of the varnish under the valve cover.
  19. ah trusty old M parallels.
  20. yeah, pretty sure it was. beautiful little car.
  21. followed an old white 2002 around sh58 for a bit today, fark it was tidy! theres a red E34 manual 525ix in wellington. see it all the time.

    I Stole an E34!

    just because its available as a part in RealOEM doesnt mean it was fitted. RealOEM gives the part number for the OEM LSD for my old 323i E36 which i know for sure was an open diff.
  23. engine bay is looking good The leather looks like it needs a damn good clean though, but otherwise looks like a good buy.
