epic. having no money doesnt mean you go risk your own life and others to look 'cool' This forum may not be as 'badass' as others with every brother from another mother running 'cuttiez' and neons but im sure the etticqiute (sp) etc that the members hold is why this is one of the most successful car forums run in New Zealand, with by far some of the most knowledgable people i have ever met (Jochen, Glenn etc). So chill, man, this one is just alot different in my experience from the other crappy ones provided. And yes I do know how much it costs to run a race car, my dad owns one and I have mates on here and elswhere that run them so I do, the costs are high, but there is a reason why cos people who run these cars respect the saftey of the public and enjoy pushing the limits in a controlled environment.

wow. i love these threads too epic fail car in general, especially the cheap as paint job "a fullah my bro knows" did it bey

Haha where is the popcorn.

Have a look online, just because the speedo says what it says it dont mean it does. My car has a 240kph speedo, but bmw states the top speed at 190. Same with like a R34 GTR or something, 300kph speedo, but realisticaly would never hit 300 in a speed bowl or something. Also you lose some top speed being a auto, also if you had half a gram of common sense you would realise street racing is for knobheads who ruin the image of all car lovers in this country, go to a track or a strip then you might get some sensible answers. Hope that helps.

what has this world come to

is it a auto?

dam ryt, and if you still have a problem with your speed machines and tickets lol, your more than welcome to swap cars with me wont get any tickets in mine

Only ticket fastest 20% of flashes...you could be lucky

That looks like a amazingly tidy 325, if your keen on spending a bit of time looking after it with maintenence etc, and doing a tidy manual conversion, that would become a gem of a car for the future

I would be keen, if it wasnt so far away lol

Im not running in the e30 class at this stage, time and money doesnt allow it. Building this for a daily driver, with the ability to run well at track days, intermarques and some gymkhanas. My original plan changed a few months back. Cheers

Yay for new car parts... Thanks to Paul Olson, Jeddy and The Stealer (Though I almost cried when my exhaust gasket cost me $76 dollars from Jeff Gray ) In the process of rebuilding the suspension and sway bars, installing new control arms, rack ends and tierods, cleaning up the brakes and new pads, bled etc, and finishing off the exhaust. Its going smoothly, time is now no issue, just want to get it done right the first time, managed to get alot more work over the xmas holidays so can get stuck in to buying everything I need to get it done. After much deliberation on costs etc, I am going Koni race series shocks on the front, with Bilsteins on the back, and some B+G springs all round. Should help it handle alot better. Also if anyone wants a e30 strut brace, me and Andy (bmw3) are going to order a few off ebay if anyone is keen, give me or him a pm. Will have more pics when have got all the suspension done. Cheers, Nathan

Wow that is very tidy, GL with the sale!

This makes me want to buy another e30

Tool FTW. Another vote for Sennheisers...have had two pairs are awesome.

hahaha you sure could glenn, maybe i shud just jump in my teleporter up to auckland may just have to perservere with the monkey wrench, how hard can it be its only a 18 y/o e30

may have to take photos for this one, havnt explained very well lol

Not the ball joint, the threaded piece after the balljoint that joins to the center steering rack piece. Can provide pics if everyone is lost

Replacing the rack ends in my e30, got one side off easy as with a monkey wrench, the other side (drivers side) wont budge at all. Its soaking in penetrating fluid right now, anyone got any tips as to getting these off? Any help is appreciated Cheers, Nathan

Cheers for all the offers guys, just sorted a set now. Thanks

The dude with the e46 drift car from on here???

Since lost my original supplier..anyone got some for a 4cyl e30 they want to sell? would prefer to not have to pay full retail for a set as money is tight atm BTW can i use 6 cylinder ones and just have a little less of a drop than described on the spring rate? Cheers, Nathan

are the plastic inner arch guards in reasonable shape? if are, would be keen to send to wellington??

cheers man, will try and convince my dad to buy it, he wants another project car..

Little OT, but where did u get the yellow headlight covers from?
