    Woman only

    Its somewhat taken out of context of the area. Is it discrimitory to imply women are worse drivers? Yes it is. Is it discrimitory to suggest women are worse drivers in a country where they arent allowed to drive very often as its "the mans job" maybe not so silly. Also comes down to some societies trying to give nicer things to women. Dubai had female only buses and taxis last time i was there.

  3. Not sure if i look foolish or not
  4. If its right at the bottom of the filter box it may be a drain incase of water ingestion.
  5. Yea car didnt survive that one. Ive heard of people breaking a.collar bone if the belt pulls down to much. But i think its best to do what you can on the budget you have as anything is usually better than factory. These style belts are legal in europe but frowned apon. Its amazing how restricted you are with non retractable belts. Cant get to the stereo etc. So people often loosen them off while on the open road. This can lead to pretty bad whiplash if your belts dont grab immediatly. Will be interested to hear what they reccomend for you
  6. Have used one very similar and crashed in it. Was comfortable and easy to use. As said can ride up abit. Biggest diwnside is they often use 2 inch belts instead of three inch. Can make a difference when spreading load. I hit a wall at taupo track at 60kph head on. No major bruising etc around belts which i have had on a factory three point previously. Bigget plus to the five point is it keeps the belt on your hip bone rather than higher where it can damage bladder spleen etc in an impact
  7. Might come across as service but sending you two replacments no questions asked seems like a combination of no confidence in the product ( otherwise why send two) and margins so high they can afford to throw engines away. Seems to me like amateur hour

    5 Million

    Hire mr seripisos to do some property investments on my behalf.
  9. Ok. Im guessing not a bmw v8?
  10. Whoops. Didnt read the post before yours. My bad sorry.
  11. Try racebrakes. Should have most on the shelf At worst If you have an old set they can make new pads onto those backings. Very good material but about three days to make. Expect to pay about 350 for a set of damn good pads.
  12. Thats a sh*t write up. Totally misses the point of reduced runner diameter. increased air spesd means more torque. Basically making a more useful engine all around. Doesnt show dyno figures. Advises blocking pipes with bolts and removing throttle heating which is a bad idea in cold areas.

    BMW Airbag Recall

    Considering there have apparently been no incidents in bmws in the past decade i dont think a day or two will make a difference. Not sure if you have been in side a major recall before but slow and methodical means no mistakes or exclusions. quite the opposite of how the media report it.
  14. Expansion tank will have a set level on the side that leaves a set amount of air. With the expansion tank cap off run the engine and you should see water dribbling in where that hose connects. That bleeds the radiator. The expansion tank cap is the rad cap. Look at coolant maintanemce threads. Replacing radiators,pumps and hoses etc is scheduled maintanance. Really needs to be done on occasion
  15. Its the bleed to the expansion tank. Very critical to stop airlocks in the radiator. If your hose holds it will work but if that has failed the rest of the radiator may be getting on too.
  16. See if any teams are near you and give them a ring. I have johnnie mac racing near me so have called them on occasion to see whats for sale.
  17. Seen them on trademe but possibly wrong time of the season. They take up room so teams clear them out quick after each set of rounds
  18. Horrible. Why do these rebels have these kind of weapons. Fuel prices will go up just because. Wait for america to be discusted despite doing exactly this during the first gulf war
  19. Hope thats a lock stud. Dont want it getting pinched
  20. All blenders should have a chainsaw motor attached
  21. Heater valve. Left and right is for the dual zone. Hence two temp selectors inside. some 7 series have an electric motor built in too to keep the hot water flowing when the engine is off
  22. Yea blenders use like 2500w so alot of load. Not that great or original in my opinion
  23. From my experiance thrust arms dont often fail wof as they dont move wheel in that direction. If you stab the brakes with a decent kick at like 50kph you should hear/feel a decent thunk as they shoot back on the worn bush
  24. I habe used penrite 10w50. Biggest thing is check it meets at least bmw ll01 grade. Anything with that will be compatable. Better is bmw ll04. Other than that is opinion
  25. Kero will break it down no sweat wont damage paint like caustic kitchen cleaners
