yng_750

nulon has just released their own version in australia probably see it in nz at some stage

saw this in taupo more importantly heard it let loose still got goosebumps

e32 767Li touring with the elusive v16 engine

also as a side thought you could do it with nzaf insignia but you would have to put a permanent cover on it and paint on extra rust trails to make it look genuine

wow would love to see that done my race car is unfortunately lacking suspension so will have to pass would cringe to race a car with such a paint job and see it get rubbed

yea a friend had an st170 i had my eye on but it went to the crusher a few weeks ago i have all the seat and harness etc

hey guys hopefully me and a friend will be competing in smashfest 2011 on the 22nd of April looking for any car(s) that runs and isn't a mini or a charade. preferably free or cheap can pickup with a trailer so doesn't need wof or reg (taupo hams Auckland or surrounding areas preferably) also if any wreckers etc feel like doing us cheap cars we will be happy to put your advertising all over it if anyone has something or knows someone with a junker give me a text 02102745013 thanks Jason

yea thats what i thought the 15w50 would be close enough to 15w40 and abit better under load at about $70 per 5l bottle its not cheap prob spend nearly $200 for fuel air oil filters and oil but at least it will be done right

hey guys about to do an oil change on my 740i its being driven for the most part relatively short distances and being taupo heading into winter will unfortunantly be running cold for much of the time its done just over 200kms starting to get a slight tappet rattle from a couple of lifters been recommended penrite SYN15w50 any other ideas also when i do manage to drive longish distances i drive it pretty hard so needs good performance protection and good cold start protection

when was the last time you saw a ninja?

change of job and house calls for a more practical car for the time being so looks like im selling the 740i 1994 740i 4 liter quad cam v8 arctic silver metallic very clean car inside and out immaculate black water buffalo leather interior , no rips or stains full electric seats very tidy body factory upgrade 18" wheels still wearing BMW recommended Dunlop SP sport tires 225/40R18 front 255/40R18 rear uprated Mintex sport brake pads, calipers painted red Factory sport Electronic damper control still working perfect no leaks front tension strut (lower suspension arm) bushes replaced these are a weak point that causes floaty handling turns like its on rails. rocker covers repainted in VHT wrinkle finish black to replace the ugly factory flaking gold paint gearbox shifts very smoothly. no electrical faults tool kit still 100% complete brand new battery factory tow bar only failure is the aircon is out of gas, cool car air conditioning quoted the fill valve was leaking repair cost ~ $10 plus regassing so approx $200 great car to drive beautiful to cruise long distance in, but flick the sport button and the suspension stiffens the throttle response tightens and the gearbox poises itself to rocket you through tight corners and flying straights in the way a true sport car should. will update with better photos and more details tomorrow

yea they call it a road rally but its on open roads, legal speeds (mostly) not nz motorsport sanctioned so no different to a sunday drive

friend of a friend owns (owned) it now its been through a couple of owners since ketzel this guy hasnt owned it long and being young and dumb didnt bother to insure it yet

just an update im getting mixed messages from google those parts number may be for arms without bushes it may be for arms with bushes either way i need bushes im not bothered if i have to get arms and bush kit separately and have to press them in

looking for a pair of lower arms for a bmw 740i the rear arm on the front suspension bmw part number 31 12 1 141 722 and 31 12 1 141 721 for R and L anyone have any or know somewhere who sells them cheap looking for new only thanks
