    Do it at your peril!
  2. That is the best idea I've ever heard.
  3. Be careful - Tony can tell you a story about the last time Andrew tried to fit a rear diffuser using a hacksaw...
  4. Unfortunately there will always be "n00bs". And stricter laws just make it harder for everyone. Thank god I'm 25 in a fw weeks and its probable that many changes won't affect me. Compulsory insurance FTW as long as it equals increased insurance revenue so that over 25's get even more discount, not increased claims. You know whats going to happen if something sensible isn't done? They're going to come up with some cock and bull idea to further restrict modifications to cars and its going to screw us all. I say dont change the current laws regarding speeding, mods etc. Bring in compulsory 3rd party insurance. Bring in instant and indefinate loss of license for those involved in street racing. You can only get it back by starting from scratch on your learners AFTER completing an approved disqualified drivers course after the 6/9/12months disqualification period. Car is impounded and sold. Then introduce a sliding scale backwards from there for less serious 'boy racer' typeoffences. Bring in the ability to revoke licenses of spectators, or if they have no license then make it harder for them to get one as they shouldn't be allowed to drive if they encourage that kind of behaviour. Provide better events for those that want to to thrash their cars.
  5. What offset can I get away with without spacers? The momos are +35 and are fine and no spacers (no clearance issues - just have hub-centric locating rings). What are yours emma? There are lots of +38 rims on TM in 4x100. Wondering if I'm going to run into trouble.
  6. You're a wise man kerry.
  7. Do you mean the plastic film to protect them from getting broken? Buy it in sheets from supercheap or similar, and cut to size.
  8. Looks Henna to me - badass.

    Hope you had a good one Ken. Must be almost time for a catch-up pint?
  10. Could be fuel also seeing as you were mucking around with that. Had a loose fuel pump relay the other day and exactly the same symptoms.

    Too true. And 12months ago someone would have been asking why so expensive? They've jumped in price dramatically recently and I think its more to do with some nice ones coming available then to do with a market shift. Good luck - if its in good nick you'll prob get your $8k.
  13. That looks like what i'm after. PM details of where you are and what you want for it.
  14. No - wrong offset as you know, I don't really like them and don't want to run spacers. Yes - Will phone you. Aren't they 5 stud? Need spacers (she has them hence how they fit on her e30.) Wanna sell? Otherwise I'll talk to you about the other two once I get a new set.
  15. Dunno about heckspoiler???? Just after the factory standard rubber one. Pic?
  16. Thanks - look better on the car. Wonder what they'd look like on a black sedan? Too "bling"??? Also, Anyone know anything about "speedy Wheels"? Mag and Turbo sell them. See also www.speedywheels.com.au
  17. Not really, but have contacted him anyway to have a look. Keep 'em coming. Anyone want 2 momo x1's for their trailer lol?
  18. Long shot: Anyone got some momo X1's for sale? I bent two of mine about an hour ago on Northland's lovely roads. I will be contactng the RCA toorrow. They are pretty f**ked and took 2 week-old Dunlop SP Sport MAxx's with them not to mention any suspension damage I'm yet to discover. Really keen to buy a couple (or a whole set) to replace them. Or if you have ANYTHING correct offset available that is not chrome I wil consider them - I like anything with dish. Cash paid. Serious buyer. Pic of momos:
  19. Sorry, Trademe is temporarily unavailable due to a technical problem Yeah everyone from bimmersport is simultaneously trying to access that auction.
  20. AFAIK, as long as it is for the same motor it will work (ie 325, 320 etc) You may want to be a bit picky if you need one with cruise control and OBC take-offs as some had them and some had the pins but no harness (so just need the harness) and some didn't have it at all - same with service indicator lights. Will knows all the ins and outs so maybe ask him about what you need and what is available and he should be able to tell you if it'll work.
  21. One of my workmates was another radio operator that was there. Darryl Nielsen. You would probably know him - he's tends to be in the thick of things no matter what he does.
  22. The parking wardens in Dunedin were Nazi's when I lived there - riding round on their little swastika-painted scooters grrr! he was probably telling you that so as soon as you parked there he could sneak back and chalk you.
