  1. is that stainless tube going to the mild steel merge? what size tube is that? Will you be bracing the turbo from the block? looking forward to seeing that exotic turbo mounted up
  2. There are a few people that have made them fit (even in Nz). Move the tps sensor around and modify the oil filter housing and an adapter. I think i've seen some adapter plates being sold somewhere before. Are you going to track or drag this car?
  3. depends where your from and how much of it you can do yourself
  4. Will be fine. One of my workmates has one on his authority card Even is an option on the form: http://www.motorsport.org.nz/sites/default...Application.pdf
  5. Needs some bolt on guards, less camber and more tyre. Just my opinion Cool wheels though Is it legal as it is?
  6. Looks like most of the US drift cars e.g
  7. What'd you use to clean them? other then plenty of elbow grease. They look great now. Good find
  8. x-brace? I don't really need another one but i'm sure it'd be worth noting if it isn't damaged
  9. Where'd you get the audi exhaust valves from? the look like a very neat compact unit. You wouldn't know of any stainless items like it? Also where did you source those brake rotors. I was considering using some for a cheapish brake setup but found I could get 2 piece gear for cheaper. I really like how standard it looks. You've done a great job to hide it all away
  10. I remember reading a thread awhile ago about his garage. Didn't know the porsche was anything special until now
  11. To find out the torque you'll need to know what rpms you were doing at those speeds. Once you find that out bump it into the equation: Horsepower x rpm / 5252 = torque re-arrange for your pleasure must be a fun car
  12. It was recovered after he got paid out. Should be at the Hamilton turners auction soon. Sadly it has been deregistered Wheels were traded, front door cards were stolen and some other random bits pinched. Should have all the m3 suspension in it still. My mate picked up the e30 wagon Ray was selling with the payout.
  13. I sure hope he never makes his way to this country.
  14. Can you charge back(reverse) the payment? Don't be childish with fake trademe accounts.
  15. Ask the people who made the clutch setup if it can hold the torque that an s50 produces Kayne Barrie would be the guy to ask if the gearbox will hold. I'd assume it would for long enough I've got some m3 headers I could sell for the right money good luck
  16. Thanks guys. I'm very happy with it so far. Once I save up for a hoist I'm sure it'll be a very nice place to tinker. On that note does anyone have any suggestions on what brand of hoist I should be after. I've worked with 2 and 4 post hoists in the past. I have a preference to 2 post clear floor hoists
  17. Purchased this shed^ Once i've done a few renovations I'll be back into the cars again. Very nice exhaust btw Michael
  18. do you have a folder or are you clamping it to something with a flat edge and beating it? Keep up the good work
  19. 18 inch style 5's are a rare find. Did you get them shipped over?
  20. ah, i'm still getting the hang of this internet thing
  21. Greg are you sure? How do you get these parts in and drill out the housing without getting swarf through it Although getrag do change things quite often so maybe some models are different If some does buy it i'd be keen to purchase the smg gearbox
  22. I ended up picking up a manual 190e for $500. It included a non existent front wheel bearing, ash trays full of ash and ash scattered throughout, 2 years worth of rubbish, $15.10 in nz coins and a few Japanese yen stuck into the sound deadening. I can see it being a bit of a struggle to get to a reasonable condition. One thing I found interesting was E36 front struts all most bolt into the front. Problems now include abs light not working, ignition being temperamental and now the engine not running. I'm going to do an engine swap soon. It's currently far too slow and oldschool. Where do people get second hand parts from? I've currently only used startech
  23. Do you have some sort of airbox with filter for this?

    Non vanos have a different trigger wheel offset. If your going to change any wiring you'd might as well get another link and wire it in Otherwise there are a few people around who can make up 'plug and play' harnesses Vanos is far superior in my opinion but that's another discussion
