E30stz

workmanship is a big thing with tinting ya lights. Make sure to cover the rest of the light with newpaper and mask off the section you dont want to do. I just let Gareth (ipwnyou) borrow my tint spray the other day. All it is was stained glass window paint from Mitre 10 Mega. It comes in a spray can and althoguh I couldnt find candy apple red like people suggested I tried a more pinky red and it came out a treat, you can barely notice the difference. I'll see if I can get ahold of gareth to find out what brand / colour you should look for. Cheers Andy

get some decent shocks should be your next big buy. Your've already bought lowering springs, should try get it right hte first time instead of trial and error which doesnt seem to have worked so far, tis an expensive process.

Finding an E30 without rust is like a needle in a haystack really. Having looked at dozens of potential E30's to buy at prices right along hte scales I've found that generally most E30's arent in good condition. Problems iwth rust, leaks and rough running engines were quite common. Some characteristics I've noticed with nice E30's is: - Few owners (2-3) .. it only takes one person to neglect the car and hte more owners it has the more chances its had that an owner hasnt taken good care of it and its been determental to the ongoing health of the car. - service history - very important. If its been a genuinely serviced regularly for its whole life, you'll more than likely be looking at a very sound car. - Km's - often people think low km's is best, well with cars this age, low km's can mean very little. I know from experience, my low km (115km) engine died not long after I'd bought it, with such low km's and on hte original engine it seemed as though it hadnt been properly run in. Another thing with the higher km cars is that its probably had alot of the gear replaced anyway. - cambelts - be sure to check that its been changed at least within the last 20-30,000km's as these can sometimes be the life or death decision. - rust - rust is getting more and more common on these as time goes by, best to find out hte regular places and check for it when you look to buy.

go back to the future Emma and leave us oldies alone. cool vid too.

top shizzle.

give the following places a ring. Europart - Manukau, Auckland. www.europart.co.nz Carspot - Hamilton www.carspot.co.nz SD European - Waikato - www.sdeuropean.co.nz or even ring up www.hella.co.nz as they should sell the original bmw stuff.

yeah, quite a few E30 diffs I would imagine would differ from factory as they're probably been round the block a few too many times and have needed reconditioning or replacement maybe, hence you get a few odd ones out.

The original E30 sales brochure says 325i's can standard with 3.73 for auto's and a 3.91 for manual.

yeah - hope ya all have a safe and happy holiday.

pm me if you can help - or if you prefer give me a call 027 4657 338 Would like to get it out of hte way in a day. Cheers Andy

Date to do this is the 28th / 29th / 30th in Papakura, South Auckland. Car will be getting given to the wreckers on the 30th/31st.

I very much agree your wife has good taste .

pretty sure I just saw a speed camera in the back of a Hyundai Sonata out back roads of Papakura, not your typical speedcamera vehicle.

Those are some very sweet cars you both have there. I've always loved the E32's and I hope to one day own myself a manual one (735/740)

saw this car last nite - damn its nice.

thats the henna, not the bimmersport stickers.

Stocks should have the following (as I bought them off them not last week but the week prior). - front anti roll bar link bushes - front sway bar kit - rear trailing arm kit - front lower control arm kit and rear bush single offset

Shouldnt there be some notice of warning prior to repossession of anything ?

thought htat guy was dodgy and your've already put a shitload of money into the car.

lol I think you'll find its just a light so you can see where your putting your key at night so you dont scratch the paint .

there ya go.

dont you have to wind it off.

go it as a present myself. I think its around $540, but thats just hte first figure that came to mind.

someone E30 series that!

mmm... yellow film on the race car should look good .
