Spotted what appeared to be a RHD black E30 M3 heading up Taranaki St yesterday.... :drool:

the market is quite simply dead at the moment... Looks like a very well looked after example. Not sure on the angel eyes personally, but very nice overall.

woah, thats a stupidly cheap price O_o This car is awesome, and so much works gone into it.

My getrag from a 318iS is also reasonably stiff to change. Not to the point of forcing it into gear, but you can feel it click into gear. Looking around the webs, seems its reasonably normal, as long as it isnt crunching or popping out. Make sure its running the correct fluid as when i get the box first fitted it had been filled with MTF when its specced as ATF, it was a real pain to shift until the fluid got changed over. Also be an idea to bleed the clutch. Do 318iS's have the clutch delay valve like M3s?

Its been converted to manual, with lightened single mass flywheel 81,000k on the clock ATM 2.5L straight six Half leather completely black interior (to rips or major stains, just the odd small mark) Motorsport kit and suspension Runs great, uses no oil or coolant, never smokes, etc etc Regularly serviced, ive just done plugs, oil, filter, and shifter bushings. Sunroof All factory BMW parts used. They claimed the conversion had 90,000k on it, but i dont have anything to prove that claim. The shifter bushes and oil seal that i just changed were all BMW gear from Pelicanparts.com Just had two new front lower control arms, ball joints and nolathane bushes fitted. Also had wheel alignment done afterwards. Heres my trademe listing http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=427239947

Theres a couple of ways to reinstall safari, but sounds like you may have fixed it anyway. Worst comes to worst, change to Chrome FYI, i use multiple Macs daily, and service macs for a living... Adobe aint an issue (other than flash not coming pre-installed on new macs, but its a free download).

I dont get it...?

Had what appeared to be the Messerschmitt E30 behind me down the gorge this morning... looks freakin awesome

Last time i asked genuine ones were only about $120+gst from Jeff Grey here in welly. I want to get one but concerned about having to mount it (and ripping it off going into/out of my driveway)

i have a slightly different model edifice myself, awesome watches, well worth the money

That E34 looks VERY nice, not so sure on the 635 TBH

Had an E34 M5 go past me on Aotea Quay on the way home.... damn tidy! Think its plate was "Ris3n".

lower rod is around the right way

yeah, turns out the shifter is sitting correctly, but theres a bigger issue.

ok, got the seal out. Now ive got an issue, either the shifter is too far back and i cant access 2nd and 4th or if i flip the shifter around it sits to the right and hits the console when i shift to 5th. FML sick of this.

Been ripping the shifter stuff out of my E36 (with getrag) so i can change the shifter bushes (which didnt appear to even exist). Im at the point where i need to remove the oil seal on the selector shaft. I have tried screw drivers, picks, everything really and it will not come out. The gearbox is still in the car and im reluctant to remove it. The seal is well and truly busted up now, and would piss all the box oil out if i tried to drive it. Im in urgent need of some advice on how to remove this stuck seal! Any ideas? its this seal here

Just FYI saw the car on the motorway again today. Very tidy Fiji green sedan. Plate was WR8886

After plenty more driving since getting converted, im kinda thinking i'd like the revs to drop quicker between shifts. Has anyone done a recode on an early 323i with success?

So these are number 5 in the diagram? If so, ill take a pair. Can pick up.

The last thing i priced up at a dealer shocked me at how reasonable it was.... i just find it a pain having to call them to check availability then having to sort out picking it up. Rather buy online (where itll tell me availability) and get it shipped to work. Damn technology has made me lazy!

yeah cheers, idea is to replace cats with resonators. Either way its gotta be better than the peashooter i have. tempted to just get an exhaust place to knock up a nice 2.5" single pipe system.

As per title, im after a 328i twin pipe exhaust (or an aftermarket system) to replace my single pipe 323i coupe one. Needs to be from the headers back (not including the headers/manifolds themselves). Must be in usable condition, dont care if the cats are stuffed, will be removing them anyway. Im in wellington and would prefer local as i imagine shipping being a pain for a large item like this. Will consider getting it shipped depending on cost. Anyone got one?

Went past a VERY unhappy looking Silver E36 coupe on ACS wheels that had been involved in a pretty bad accident just north of Temuka. Looks like it clipped the back of a bus and went into a field. Easily a write off, but appears the occupants got out ok (doors still opened). Hope its no one from here, and hope theyre alright.

Subarus have O2 sensors....

WANT! oh so much.... cant afford and auck is too far away Gl with the sale, hope it goes to someone that will look after it.
