bravo

What are the chances of you finding an e30 and an RS parked next to each other? (Pretty good by the look of the other pics, but you know what i mean). Badass holiday.

Undo the motor mounts, lift the motor as much as possible without having to undo water pipes etc, and you "should" be able to manoeuvre around the oil pump pickup, but if not, drop the crossmember slightly so you have more space between the sump and the steeringing rack.

Certainly not wasting your time. Really enjoy reading the articles.

Hah - funny - that's exatly what I said at work when I found out. Simon - My opinion on orange and chocolate rest somewhere around the same place as your opinion of mint and chocolate. At least Snifters have a chewycentre and don't make your mouth orange!

Thanks for the heads up about the Rodeo - havn't driven one yet, but have some on the list. Have seen the Orix website, so will get in touch with them and Custom Fleet. Two should be enough to see if the numbers stack up. Cheers.

Jimny is a bit small. I have heaps of gear. Currently long-term renting a Nissan terrano with the back seats folded forward and it is full. Reason for upgrade is my long-serving 1995 Ford Courier double cab gave it up last week. Reason for lease is because the accountant suggested it and I want to run my own figures for my situation rather than just believe whatever I'm told. I don't own the company, but have to fit the vehicle into my departmental budget. I'm just an employee I've been looking at double cab utes, Terrano's, Explorers, Pajero's, Challenger's, etc. need a long wheelbase to fit all the gear in. Can buy what I want for $25k, and if I have to tighten the budget, I've seen 2000 SUV's with under 100,000kms for $15k - add custom racks and some signwriting and I'm up and running for well under $20k, and probably get 5 years out of it.

I want to lease a commercial 4x4 - either SUV or Double Cab ute. Will be operating in the Bay of Islands area and needs to be a workhorse, not a cross-over, or rep-mobile. Must have low-range 4x4, and not just AWD. Something a couple of years old (so if it gets the odd site-ding etc it won't be the end of the world) would be best say 2004 or newer. Anyone know of any good lease companies? I was planning on purchasing, but thought I'd explore lease options as well.

They'll possibly bring them back one day ala Mellow Yellow, but otherwise I'd say its the end of the line. Not so fussed about sparkles, but Snifters and Tangy Fruits are movie staples for me.

Nathan - have the arch guards, rear sway bar, and shocks. Could send with other parts if required. They are ready to send - just awaiting payment. Graham

Read this Spend your money on amps quality fronts and a sub. Buy rears if you have any money left otherwise don't bother with rear speakers at all. I'm not telling you this because I think I know what I'm talking about, I'm telling you because you will end up with a louder, better quality system without wasting money.

Chris is right - you can't get non-abs wheel bearings - just remove the ABS ring if it is not required. Haha Chris - not ford hate my friend, just taurus (and possibly mondeo and new-shape escort) hate. eudamonia - You the manus! Welcome to the forum Andrew.

Was standard rubber boot spoiler. Is currently on hold awaiting payment.

They also sometimes drop the premium slightly at 21 if you have had a clean license ( I got a small discount at 21, and then a rather large one at 25.)

Pro: when they come online, parts might be cheaper as they will be shared across several models or power plants. Vehicles will be available cheaper and sooner. Con: R&D may end up going in only 1 or 2 directions as auto manufacturers will just use the standard, or invest their R&D budget in further development.

James - flick me a text, and come over some time to take a look and we can come to some arrangement that suits you. Sam - bootlid had spoiler, so apart from the holes it's mint

That's an Mtech I wheel btw. Good luck with the sale.

Peter's? (Sorry, don't know his car number but he's been racing his 325is for years.)

Tried ringing his cell ph #?

I like. But does anyone else see the resemblance to a Holden Commodore with that power bulge in the bonnet, side vents and the re-designed front air dam, and especially with those particular 5-spokes? Look at the thrid pic - cover the rear of the car and imagine it without a kidney grill...

Or Marley ™ sideskirts FTW. There were some guys in the US modifying Modeo or some such sideskirts to fit e30's IIRC. Edit - nope it was Taurus side skirts - I knew it was some ugly as sin POS Ford. Can also get the front lip of a Volvo 40 to fit on F/L valance by mounting it upsode down and trimming the ends - looks similar to an iS lip. Some dude on bimmerforums did it and looks OK. I think your car needs this kind of rangi-mod done to a decent quality level it would make this car stand out.

Have PM'd you mike's email address.

It was auto.

Any sales yet?

I did You've done a good job bringing those seats into spec. Mine are due for their 6 monthly resto. Top cars these SA 325i's.
