  1. ^ Now that you mention it, my light seals are fooked. Can these be replaced? The boot seal is a mint one, but yes I do have to wash it on a slope with a 90deg gradient driveway haha
  2. ^ Haha might try clean them out tmoro see if it improves it. Anyone got a prefered method?
  3. I will add the sunroof drains look unclogged too
  4. So I washed my car about 3 weeks ago, has sat in the garage since. Replacing the carpet at the moment and noticed the underside of the back seat is wet, along with the very back of the main piece of carpet ONLY on the right hand side. Is there anywhere common that it leaks from to pool here? I have had the other end of a E30 leak before but not this end. Thoughts are the rear windscreen seal as the coupe side window seals look like brand new. Is this just a matter of getting a hose and seeing what leaks? Any help is appreciated. Cheers, Nathan
  5. ASAP, still in the car or removed is fine (I can take it out for you) Looking to replace this long weekend. PM me if you have some. Cheers, Nathan

    "Rangi Mods"

    Front caliper faces ground down with a grinder to clear wheel face, because I hate spacers. Front valance to fit to my Alpina front kit chopped up with a grinder and a cutting wheel totally eyeballed. Using minute mend epoxy to 'weld' a gearknob to the shifter arm. Using 'paint it on' tyre black to dye my E30 headliner black....and it works. There is plenty more, I just can't remember them.
  7. I have got a air compressor so thats all good, will look into it. Cheers Jimmy
  8. Wow so rad. Hats off all-round.
  9. Have a E-beer sir, I am sure you and your partners and crime need one or six Can't wait for the vid
  10. How much was this Jimmy? and where from? I am having terrible trouble getting my brakes in the 30 to bleed nice, this could be the ticket. Cheers
  11. For reference I brought one for $150, is the later Alpina facelift style though, the pre facelift like the one posted doesn't do much for me. I have been offered $300 to buy one exactly the same, so it comes down to what someone is willing to pay for it. If it is genuine, obviously the price should reflect that. There are many copies of that wing about for sale. It is SPOILER too.
  12. ^^ Wikipedia is subjective, take everything you read on there with a grain of salt, it isn't FACT. Obviously M42's are cam chain's though.
  13. Bump. Andrew I will contact Dutchy tonight and see if he can help me out with free shipping to Chch. IIRC it won't be more than $60-80ish if you need to pay.
  14. ^ Probably the same part anyway. Tis real leather too, feel sorry for the poor cow that sacrficed it's ass to throw into my POS E30 haha.
  15. Graham, RE Leather Handbrake boot, yesterday I brought a leather handbrake boot out of a E32 730i at pick a part for $4, undid the little staples around the mount, then stretched it over the E30 mount and it works. Also brought some spray dye and painted it black (was originally beige), if you want a cost effective option, maybe try and sort one of those out. Can take a pic if needed.
  16. Put the 540 engine in the 635...sacrilege I know but those power figures would be well worth it. Awesome stealth bomber.
  17. 316's are M10, 316i's are M40
  18. Saw a gorgeous Ferrari 360 Modena Challenge/Stradale whatever it is, Red with the Italian flag style stripes down the middle, so mint.
  19. Just needs some 17' Schnitzers to match the stripes and you would be all set. It is quite expensive, as mentioned cut a few $$$ of the asking price and supply your own wheels for the time being.
  20. ^ Not this week. Maybe a mod for the future incarnation, plus the added bonus of better brakes now with the M20. Back to my question, anyone? Or is the better question should I be able to get away with it come WOF time
  21. Theoretically speaking, if I want to put a E32 booster and mast cyl in my E30, will I need a cert?
  22. Back for sale $500, free shipping from here to Auckland. If nobody wants them I will guess I will keep em and put them on the E30 cabbie my GF is getting as a graduation present from me when she finishes uni Cheers
