that fines a bit bloody ridiculous isnt it? 1000 GBP is about $2300 NZD. I agree slow people hogging lanes is a pain but bloody hell.

because its utterly filthy under there maybe? Not always a sure sign of neglect but when its that dirty its not usually the sign of someone that has treated their car better than their spouse.

An S85 E46 M3 custom package?

Looks nice, NZ New too (despite what the auction says).

Just cleaning the garage out and have some bits left over. E36 front fog lights. Used condition. Purchased for my M3 but not needed. $110 shipped for the pair. E36 M3 3.0 hand brake shoes (may fit other models too, see pic). ATE brand, not sure if genuine but good OEM brand. Brand new. $40 shipped for set M52 thermostat. BEHR brand, new unused. Fits various models, PN 11531437040. $100 shipped E36 M3 3.0 cam position sensors (intake, exhaust and TDC). Bloody expensive and hard to get new. Mine had an issue which i actually think was due to the intake sensor being dirty, but just for peace of mind i replaced all of them. Theres a good chance all of them are working fine, but the possibility one is intermittently faulty. Have tested with oscilloscope and couldnt see any irregularity. Strain relief on cables have broken away due to age. $120 for the lot

the rpm at 100kph on my E36 with manual box and auto diff was terrible, over 3000rpm iirc. Made for some damn quick getaways though!

M3 looking great on the DS2s.

my old one had the o2 sensors removed when the cats were cut out many years ago. Never had an issue, and as it had no CEL (iirc it was too early for one) there was no light but it did log codes in the system for them. No records of it being chipped or tuned, and according to interweb reports the old E36s its pretty common to pull them out when they fail and just not replace them. I did often wonder though what the economy would have been like if i readded them but the cost put me off. I since sold the car.

Brent probably has one

been out driving mine again tonight, runs like bloody clockwork. Love it. Im a bimmer fan for way back, but damn these golfs are a lot of fun for the money.

that dipshit with the "open letter" now moderating posts. pussy. Cant handle the jandle.

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

jeez and i thought the heated mirrors in the golf were flash!

care to elaborate? im picturing little wipers but im sure its not!

All cars looking great, but your E31 is looking amazing now. So staunch.

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.

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.

looks like its all been packed up and gone. http://maxbimmer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78119&highlight=abandoned&page=15

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.

yeah there are a few synpowers. best to check on the bottle which standard it meets. http://synpower.com.au/products-range/

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.

the golf GTI is a hell of a lot of fun to drive. its also built and drives better than any corolla.
