You can buy them from repco for like $80

Have seen this one in welly a couple times, looks mean.

^ Ha cheers Graham

The couch looks pretty plush

^ You will struggle to find a manual driveshaft on their own, most people sell them together with the rest of a manual conversion and they are specific to model+engine size, so you should state what engine and year e30 your after too.

^ Know that feeling haha. Anyway, better stay on topic, best of luck with the sale, looks like a nice car, hope you get what you want for it.

Ha thats what she said

Haha hell yeah man. Um Nathan Bramley, run for Wellington Scottish, used to train with Tim Hodge, Terefe etc etc down here in Welly was never 'quite' close enough to the front in the races I was in when you raced

OT, but Rabah did you used to run? I used to know a Rabah Bashir from Auckland who I have raced against before.

You could always try find some 6 cyl ones that have a bigger drop than you wanted in the equivelent 4cyl spring to offset the weight difference

I will come up for a drive some time soon and give it a go As Lance Armstrong once said "Pain is temporary, quitting is forever"

^ Well originally I was using autosol to take a few of the light scratches I had noticed on one or two of the wheels, in doing this it exposed these areas to a mirror shine (not on purpose might I add) so thought f**k it (being the perfectionist I am) needed uniform shine over all the wheels so polished the lot. They look good now. FYI yes I have only driven 1000km on them since I got them to change soon though might I add

FW1 Jono??

I decided to play it safe this time and not use any electrical devices that were recommended above. I used: Autosol with a mixture of a microfiber cloth + Scotch Brite pad (the gentle non scratching version) and a 'Hard' bristled toothbrush for the awkward hard to reach areas. Polished the dish until I got a balanced finish, did notice the less polish you use the better it is. I used several clean microfiber cloth's to buff in between polishes and cleaners until I had the desired result. I then used a less abrasive polish i.e I used Mothers Mag Wheel and Aluminum Polish, then waxed the wheel including the dish with Mothers Carnuba Cleaner Wax (what I usually use on the whole car and it is fantastic, would recommend especially on old paint jobs). Apparently the wax helps prevent the freshly cut alloy from oxidizing at a faster rate than unprotected. I think they will just need a polish every clean with the Mothers Polish and then Wax to keep oxidisation at bay and they will stay looking awesome. Plan on doing the Autosol cut every 6 months at the least, it takes a lot of time and patience to get looking mint Oh and the result: It is hard to tell the difference from the pics, but in real life the effort was well worth it. Cheers, Nathan

^ Nah still sh*t IMO compared to a 325i

Just factory rear bar with urethane mounts

I went from a 20/21mm front factory 325i bar to a 24mm whiteline bar and the difference was amazing, that coupled with urethane sway mounts alround and it felt like a different car.

Do want.

Hella rad car, best of luck with the sale, was one of my fav's when I first joined.

^ WTF are you on.

I reckon you shouldve left it how it was....pretty factory.

Saw a brand new Audi S5 in the city. Is there a better looking brand new car for sale at the moment? Awesomeness.

^ I paid $150 to have the front of my Alpina bumper painted, that was with me prepping it. I would say $200 - 250 ish if you want the inside and outside done. Or if your talking about 'just' the bumper...I would say $100 ish

Nah it fell down from the very top of the ugly tree
