while some may be abit purist to the bmw engine i think one thing that is universal is nobady wants to see anyone drop a load of money into a project then be caught up by something and never finish it dont take this as negativity but as fair warning from people who have seen others trip up before remember you can never do to much research

by the way wiring in a rb30 to a bmw engine loom may be abit much for normal sparkies its not just hooking wires together theres a reason auto electricians charge so much also if your having every thing done keep in mind the list motor mounting diff replacment??? up to u exhaust fuel system cooling upgrade brake upgrades body mods (tunnel for gearbox) wiring nightmares steering rack changes then all the little things you may have to move i.e. braking system remember you need to keep airbag system operational etcetc if your getting it done i think 6k is very conservative estimate also 540 ftw of 3.5 on boost

havent bothered taking pics yet as ive been working but heres the pic off trademe

i do believe you found the dirtiest possible way of asking that question

coming soon

ok a few days into owning an alfa and so far nothing has gone wrong (touch wood) few more details its a nz new 96 2.5 v6 160kms faded red paint is the only major downfall factory wide body 17 inch speedline mags h&r lowering springs sparco strut brace Brembo slotted rotors Mintex pads momo shift knob and boot genuine DTM rear wing progressive led shift light things that need doing are oil change right indicator missing lens paint car shifter has play in one bush and by the feel of it i think it has a blocked cat fuel light is a little eratic (very common in 155s) anyone know what this car would be worth once i fix all these little things

>ALFA ROMEO Passionate and romantic, you fancy yourself. A bit unreliable, and can be eccentric too. You hate BMW drivers, but think and act just like them. >AUDI You would like to believe you are part of the new generation that is caring, environmentally conscious and family-orientated. Actually quite boring; nothing more than a glorified wuss. Will one day probably drive a Merc, but you still sometimes wonder if you shouldn't have bought that Bee-Em. >BMW Self-centred, ambitious, dynamic and assertive. Can be a big show-off pig. Likes impressing too. Buppies and kugels past sell-by date. You think you will be CEO one day. Actually an office weenie who thinks you are God's gift. >DAEWOO Faceless, subservient and demure (except for Matiz drivers). To you, a good deal is to work from nine to five, get nothing for it, and still say thank you. And then you wonder why you don't have money for a time after hours. >FIAT Cute self-confident girls climbing the corporate ladder with ball-breaking as their hidden agenda. Will take everything you own if she divorces you >FORD You still live in the 70's, trying to cope with the 90's (don't even mention the millennium). A loyal, diligent worker, but baffled by office politics and labour policies. Next car will probably also be a Ford. >HOLDEN You are the ultimate on-road wanker. You think your 80s model Commodore is a V8 supercar, OR you think by owning a Barina you’re a true Holden fan. You’re either a redneck or a way-too-standard family parent – but either way, you most likely drive like you’re the only person on the road. You’re even ignorant enough to argue that the new Commodore is better than the new Ford. >HONDA You aspire to drive a BMW. You are an opinionated pain-in-the-butt. The ultimate suffragette, or the boss's girlfriend (male or female!). >ISUZU You like the smell of diesel and have secret fantasy of being a truck driver. >HYUNDAI / KIA Quite progressive, intelligent and practical. But misguided. The kind of person who will suggest a sub-committee to find solutions to what the committee couldn't. You will always maintain that a Korean car is better than any Japanese model. >JEEP You would like to believe you are living the American dream and just love the great outdoors. The closest you get to it is by watching Days of Our Lives and the Adventure Channel. >LAND ROVER You are a designer person with a designer life, who always pays too much for everything. Designer mud comes free with the badge. You're a closet colonial racist and have fantasies about the Queen. If you have a Freelander, it was probably a break-up gift from your ex. >MAZDA A Ford driver with less money. Mostly staid boring with no image and less imagination. Lots of retired people drive Mazdas. You're in the way and should get off the road. >MERCEDES BENZ Responsible, immaculate and conservative. Boring CEO clones with too much money, or the office super-geek who can't remember what it's like to have fun. Definitely not dating material. >NISSAN Good, solid, responsible, loyal office-fodder. You like to travel and maintain that you can sell ice to the Eskimos. Favourite answer: "It's a company car." >MITSUBISHI Not as label-conscious as your Land Rover counterpart, but still suckered into believing in the ultimate Paris-to-Dakar, African adventure. You drive through puddles to create your own designer mud. You believe you've made the grade, but everyone else knows you've got a long way to go. >PEUGEOT Thinks France is the best country in the world and bores everybody with your limited French knowledge and tales of the Louvre and the Sourbonne. >PORSCHE Small d*ck or mid-life crisis. >RENAULT An eccentric who likes doing things the wrong way around. Usually the one who asks all the silly questions at staff meetings. You fervently believe you have flair, but it's less than that of a French cookbook. Most probably gay. >SSANGYONG A make-believe fool, because you'd like a Pajero but can't afford it. Don't actually know that the engines are made in India and not in Germany. >TOYOTA Although there are thousands of them, you mostly can’t spot them in their zeroimage cars. Toyotas are good, reliable cars and are bought by a wide variety of people who have zero personality to go with their cars and are basically chicken-sh*t scared people who will never take chances and will therefore be driving Toyotas forever. The most zero-image car in the world?, ... a white Corolla >VOLKSWAGEN Highly overrated for dependability cars since the days of the Beetle, but they do have a good re-sale value. Usually practical, sensible people who like to drive fast where nobody can see them. They are usually loyal to their brand to the point of irritation due to the fact that they lost their virginity on a Beetle's back seat. >VOLVO As square and safe as the car. recent threads seem to reinforce the holden one

that would be win i also saw a tasty alfa 164 at work today i think thats going on the list

that looks ike a good deal anyone else notice merc makes some ugly engine bays?? my firends dad has a amg 560sec but the engine bay looks like it was designed by a 4 year old

if its your policy covering the car and the wheels arent specifically covered in the insurance you can legally romove them and chuck some standards on there if his insurance is covering it they should cover the market value you must leave everything in the car that is there when it is valued so if you remove the wheels before it gets valued by an assesor you should be sweet personally i would remove the wheels put some standard ones on there they shoudlnt notice and if they do just tell them they werent your wheels you were just trying them on for a day to see what it looks like but didnt end up buying them as far as buying it back most insurance companys will let you buy it back without going to auction you just have to go in and ask the case manager directly most do this because the case manager can then avoid having to do more work as far as getting it towed organising storage and auctioning at turners if its worth 6k for example i would go in and say you will take 5K if you can keep the car and negotiate from there (ask pretty please if they can leave it registered although it will go on reg papers that it was damaged) then either fix it sell it or turn it into a race car

surprisingly that doesnt look to bad with the yellow

i was more looking for additions to the list

also a big jag wouldnt go amiss but it would have to be a xjs or similar and manual would be a huge plus

ok guys i thought i would ask you for your own personal brand of opinion on a question that has been mulling around for a little while i am at uni of waikato and currently have a few cars however next year it looks like i will be moving to an apartment or something similar i.e. at best a 1 car garage which im not really allowed to do much work in because of this i will be selling my cars over this holidays and will be looking for a new car heres where you come in i want some ideas on suitable cars ok heres the restrictions i want a big cruisy car but still fast (like the 750 i used to own) over 3500cc if possible 8-12 cylinders not turbo price 3-5k (not so important as i can wait for a good bargain to come along or get a fixer uper so lets say 3- 8kmax) possibilitys i have been considering are 750 740 540 535 635 328 larger mercs similar to bmws above toyota soarer 4l v8 (or any lexus v8) theres also an alfa gtv6 that tickles my fancy on trademe at the moment but not to many of them around so what other cars can you think of that fit into that kind of genre p.s. no falcons of comodores

advetising your a prick on a tshirt .....its like a vtec sticker but for bmws
