  1. Diff hanger? Sounds can be really deceptive in a vehicle. Maybe check engine and gearbox mounts in case the whole lot is shifting and making a clunk at the rear. Advice to get someone to look at it is good. You probably needed new bushs anyway, but if you just keep throwing money at it without fixing the problem, you're better off paying the experts.
  2. Power Take Off?? My tractor has that. Would expect nothing less from something made by the manufacturer of Aston Martin. Use it for running the mower, post rammer, log splitter, and a badass water cannon.
  3. Meh, Fleet cards are the same thing and for the same reason. Most people can get a fleet card if they ask organisations they are involved in. Many wholesalers offer their account customers fleet cards under the wholesalers name (for example Carters or J A Russell). Coastguard members can get a Caltex fleet card under the Coasguard umbrella (I have one and so does my g/f) and so on. It works on the same principle. Its not a huge discount (about 4c a litre, so similar to supermarket vouchers), but the discounts talked about on the above site won't be any better. The fuel companies can't afford to offer the average motorist a bigger discount than fleet managers of fleets with hundreds of vehicles doing thousands of miles a week. Still, if somehow it gets off the ground, I'll get one.
  4. so what does it mean if I tracked my own number....

    Is it just me?

    Wanna buy a ranchslider? Aluminium frame, 3mx2.2m (huge). Bypass the trademe fees.
  6. Gus - do you mean in that your email is pushed to you rather than you download it from the server on demand? I believe if you have microsoft exchange server you can have outlook push your emails to a mobile device, so in that case it would work if it isn't a built-in feature.

    Okta Touch

    I have the previous HTC which has a slide out keyboard. Makes the touch seem like a piece of sh*t. Yeah mines fatter, and has equally dismal battery life, but I have a charging cradle and rotate batteries, and the keyboard is badass. Try www.ppcgeeks.com forums. There are dozens of links to cool software. My HTC was running the old windows mobile. I downloaded the new windows 6.1 from that site (they even have the version for Telecom NZ), and a bunch of iphone skins/emulation, and some cool apps (like java-enabled gmail, and adobe reader). I was also able to flash the firmware for my radio = my reception is now awesome, and battery life is better. I only go there for free downloads so don't ask me what the forums are like, but they look pretty busy.
  8. Best weapon against tagging is a paintball gun. Hit them with there own punishment and leave little bruises all over them. Plus it'd be a shitload of fun.
  9. Seeing as this is coming up alot lately I've made a F.A.Q. enjoy.
  10. Go to My Controls>Edit Signature or Click Here Insert some text of a link to your picture inside image tags. Insert anything else you might want to. Click update my signature. There are limits to maximum image size. If your image is too large you will see an error message. use an image editor like photoshop, The Gimp (Free GNU) or irfanview (free) to make your image smaller. If you need somewhere to store your image online try any free image hosting site. I use xs.to
  11. OK, so that video was lame... Would have liked to actually see the hourglass "ticking away".
  12. lol at the dude in the background on pic 7.
  13. Wondered how long this story would take to hit BS. There are some epic 20+page long threads about it on other forums from a couple of months back.
  14. It is too obviously fictional for me. It would have been way more badass if you thought it was real right up until the launch. "There's a fine line between genius and insanity. between a hairbrained scheme and a good idea." Says it all really.

    Mtech E30

    The door and rear guard panels don't fit and not sure about side skirts. Boot spoiler fits sedan but obviously not touring. everything else fits (front and rear skirts, bumpers) Look at my sig below and you'll see four panels on the side (Front guard, 2 doors and rear guard. Coupe only has 3 and are different sizes.)

    Mtech E30

    Also keen to see remus pics.
  17. Looking out the side window. Prediction: this thread is going to last about 30mins before it turns to crap.
  18. Also, the tiime required for charging is a huge drawback. Lets say your're on a camping trip. Normally you fill up, dirve to the campsite, and then if you need fuel to get back, you fill up on the way home. Electric you'd need to schedule a re-charging stop on the way home. (Plenty of other examples too). It'll be interesting to see what sort of infrastructure would be put in place - charging docks at carparks?? Do they charge more than if you did it at home? Will there be enough carparks offering the service? What about rural areas? Will "service stations" start selling battery packs on a swap-basis? How then could they guarantee that the battery has a good charge? do you have to start carrying around spare batteries (heavy, take up room). I think 500km is a start, but double that and we'd be on the right track. I see huge benefits in terms of performance though. Electric motors are hugely powerful and versatile.
  19. Thread locked. Personal Attacks are not tolerated. Going nowhere anyway.

    M50 2.8 Swap

    Hi there, firstly there is no M50 2.8. The 2.8 is a M52 2.8. A good reference for m50 swaps is here. Also this site and here An aftermarket ecu is an option, BUT you can get the factory ecu to work and this is possibly the most trouble-free option. Loom adapters and wiring diagrams are available online. You are going to need alot more than just a motor, ecu, loom and brake booster. But if you read the above, you'll figure out what. i once wrote out everything I needed to do it, and the list was long, but I've since thrown it out as I abandoned the project for a different one. Finally - talk to Glenn from Botany Motor Worx. he put an m52 in an e36 318ti and will be able to give you some pointers.
