my mate goes religiously to Maidstone Mufflers. I am considering going to see them before the upcoming track day.

i have a standard one here. i will be getting a ZHP one when i do my manual swap (one of these weekends....???) what do you want to pay? can bring it to you next weekend if you are in Auckland (please update your profile with location!!!!!!!!!!)

cheers Glenn! Its 5W 12V

fatter the better. unless you are into skidding etc of course

would move both LSD and skids further up list, but other than that sounds good!

yep looks like it

think they are different, here is a realoem link, http://www.realoem.com/bmw/partxref.do?part=1+374+798 1 374 798 is the BMW part number my research yesterday say. seem to only be in the interior lights and a whole bunch of BMW motorbikes which incidentally never knew they were even on realoem ha edit: maybe i should try BMW Motorad in wellington tomorrow.... might have solved me own problem ha

its from an E30 map light mirror, obviously popped or i wouldn't be asking lol anyone seen these in a store, know who i should be asking or something? all it says around the collar is "64111OSRAM 12V5W W768" which i can find on ebay at $40US a pair plus shipping or something like that.... yeah don't think so mate.

(*^(^(^@$$@@$^*)$@ I know i have always said i want this car, i just never thought the day would come it would be available to buy!!!!

no way do you have to pay that 900 if you didn't actually ask them to do anything with it

bumpo will bang it up on trade me this weekend if nothing eventuates here. cheers

plumbers wrench here. works will. have only had one that it didn't work, and using a bit of WD-40 to penetrate threads and then out it came

cool, lots of options around. the Cabs are cool, quite a few on here now, almost as many as hard tops!!!

what front kit is that? is that standard M5???

Cool! let me know if you need any pointers! pretty easy to d just time consuming. Toughest part is poking it through from firewall, especially if dash is in place.

i think he was meaning if you kept same engine, it doesn't need it. i.e. my stock 325i having a manual gearbox swapped in does not require a cert you would be needing a cert for an engine conversion anyways.

all 325i coupes and sedans have them in the boot, so you can find retrofit kits easy enough, any wrecker should have it. But is it worth it?? having done it before, its a pain in the ass, most of the interior has to come out etc, and for what. its only 20kg or so, and you are probably adding about half that again in cables anyways.

takes a hell of a lot of guts and balls to come back and say all of that, i admire that!

is engine from same said 1995 525i?

coil overs are sketchy everywhere in NZ! i would never have gone to them if my cert guy didn't dictate i needed stupid high spring rate in the front, even higher than a 750iL wtffff

on the gear box. you will need to get under car. remove plug, short with a piece of wire, key on ON position but not started, and see if backup lights come on, may need a mirror or the wife to help etc

can't comment on that one, but keep well away from the white one with the hard top, was a water damaged car that went through Turners a few years back

yes but its the f**ktards that don't do that, and think because race car. shocks bottom out/chassis hits ground, and its all over. I saw someone just about wipe out last night for this exact reason

no.

this. fairly common issue
