  1. Shell have dropped out on nz and aussie with good stuff. Their top rated oils are getting hard to source. Same goes for mobil
  2. Meant to say hope you get an e31
  3. +1 i have vht wrinkle black on mine. Awesome look. I only painted the front and lower side in wrinkle as the rest isnt seen. The rest i did plain gloss black
  4. Ive had similar but only where the strip along thr base of the window was buggered. And i mean really buggered
  5. It never ceases to amaze me how thick m52 heads are. Great looking work
  6. Lets hope this hasnt had any hardcore outdoor use
  7. Holy sh*t its actually your listting. You actually posted a trademe screen shot with your porn tabs still open. You sir win the internet bwahahahahahahahaha
  8. Hope thats not your porn
  9. The way i see it collectability comes from two aspects. Long term desirability and production numbers being low. Not enough people like them they dissapear and dont hold value. To many production numbers and the price stays low due to supply and demand.( like the model t 100 years later and still not hard to find) Many of the american cars listed are as much about big power as big looks. theres plenty of bmws around with big power but the m coupe may just have the biggest looks. Much like the nentioned m1 or art cars. Many people find the coupes ugly but the same applied for the roadrunner and daytona. i think the looks dont hit the right note parked next to a 5 series or commodore but in 20 years when the car market is jammed full of superminis and city cars the big long bonnet and unecconomical use of space will tickle the dont build cars like they used to vibe. Only question is will the hit the hotrod stage between now and then. Regretfull motor transplants and body modifications are all part of making a car future classic.
  10. Manual and auto still spend 99% of the time shifting at 4k
  11. Basically comes down to is peak power worth giving up your whole.midrange. I hit peak power in my car maybe a dozen times a week for three seconds at a time . Spend the whole time in the midrange. Torque gets you going and provides fuel economy. Power beats resistance of top speed. Thats about it
  12. Share your things with others please. It good manners
  13. M3 throttle bodies.... That is all
  14. Cheaper to get a forged stroker kit
  15. Would you rather they call it a honda civic?. Insurance companies put everything through auctions. Despite paying 10x in fees than they get for scrap. Which all gets passed onto the consumer.
  16. 1380kg for the ti and 1405kg for a 330ci

    E30/46 thingie.

    Why tear this apart? Just start a new one
  18. Fix first issue. It may cure the second. Also.helps to know what sort of car you have
  19. I have a full 535i manual conversion also a large case lsd ( would have to check if the diff fits an e34 as it an e32 item ) Pm me if interested
  20. Yea really good. Have used one diving in the lake and transition above to below water is awesome and clarity in low light is much better than expected. Vs go pro Cons. 720p vs 1080p ( looks good on a 50" plasma) 30fps vs up to 60 on gopro. So a little blur at very high speeds. Water skiing at speed was still very clear on rough water. Doesnt come with sd card. I got 32gb micro sd from noel leeming for around 45. Pros. Quarter of the price of go pro. Comes with 4-5 mounts vs 1. Go pro sell each mount as an extra. Pretty good battery life. More generic mount than go pro so new mounts can be found overseas. Less risk if it gets lost at sea or something. Im very happy with mine
  21. bimmersport, the mob
  22. An m5 puts down about 245 kwatw. With what ive seen on a couple of dyno runs. That would be the equivelent of an extra 500cc perfect exhaust. More compression. Vanos on all cams. And individual throttle bodies. Plus agressive ecu I would say 180-200 is possible but only through a manual box.
  23. This^ high performance engines often use thinner oil but the viscosity isnt nearly as important as shear strength, thermal stability amd zinc content just to name a few
  24. I have a large case lsd that will fit an e31 or e32 if the need arrises
