  1. Adventura. Very cool car, go very well and handle even better (as all 4x4 cars do really). My step mom used to have one as a company vehicle in a former job Agree, wouldnt want to daily one, but my Patrol is to be a road registered offroader, its a GQ. In getting all sorts of goodies at the moment cant wait!
  2. you are correct and i knew that, i dont know why i hit quote instead of reply, probably been on bimmerfest before i typed. Havent been round cost road of mt egmount, in fact never really been that way at all except to go visit John (Bellicose)
  3. would be good to know the answer to this when you find out???? I have just picked up a Nissan Patrol, that too can come as a 7 seater and have just got a third row for it.

    red e30

    its the wierd sh*t available for the E30 that add to why they so cool! And its a good job you live so far away from me or i would be tracking you down for a test fit/fap of those Borbets
  5. wtf did i just watch????? meanwhile, my 190E was the worst euro car i have ever had
  6. yep down through national park etc is the way to go, not only quicker than SH1 but better. then through the Paraparas, which is a good road if you have at least 200hp under your foot (no idea what an integra type r has), less than that forget it.

    red e30

    if you have the caps maybe??? and the borbets too??? #wheelwhore
  8. ahh good on you, havent come across anyone doing that before the white one?? always wondered what happened to that. its the twin car to Blairs
  9. how did they tear it? seems very strange to me..?how
  10. on E30 its really not worth it. at a minimum you will need to reenforce the tops with the bit you are selling, run a rear strut brace, and probably still do a bit more reenforcemnet around the tower part. you will also need to have a look at the bottom of the strut/shock, i wouldnt feel safe with that one bolt holding all the weight and control of my car, so you will need to come up with some solution there probably. Not quite as familiar with the E36/E46 setups, but wouldnt imagine it will be any easier.
  11. never heard of it in an E30, but its an E46 problem on the big power/thrashed ones. not sure about E36??
  12. yep 100% agree with Ron. only break if you try and run a strut type coilover or as he said shocks bottoming out repeatedly such as lowered/cut/no springs with standard shocks still in. none of those chassis designed to hold any weight there anyways. if you want to do suspension mods, much better ways to spend your money on all three chassis identified.
  13. you get paid out on the value before you crashed it, lets say it was a $3k car 30 seconds before the crash, thats what they pay you (less excess and any unpaid premium for that year etc) you then buy it back at the value it is now, lets say its now worth $300 (scrap value). They dont care about flogging your RS seperately or take into account thier value, they have bigger fish to fry than a set of nice wheels. So lets assume your up paid insurance up front at start of year, if excess was $1k, $3k-1k=2k-300=1700, they pay you out $1700 and you keep the car, though in cases i have seen, the ownership does breifly change to the insurance company, they deregister the car, and then give it back to you. In most cases, for people like us, it is almost always worth buying the car back unless its really been crash banged and assholed, you will keep your nice bits that owe you much more than the buyback value, and can still flog the rest if you can be bothered.
  14. i have plenty of standard ones here, i think i got too many lefts for rights too from memory
  15. bottle caps are not 15" wheels guys. In any case: the insurance company has probably already taken photos of your car with the RS on them, so its possibly too late, and "frauding" them they wont take to kindly to that. if you are going to take the wheels, you might as well take the stereo, the steering wheel, the seats…. where does the list end. I suggest you let them take the car, have them pay out, and tell them that you want first option to buy the car back. Insurance companies are not an entity you f**k round with, because you will never get insurance again etc. Thats why you have insurance in the first place
  16. are they plastic or glass on the front of them? will take them if glass and other guy falls through
  17. Female on Bimmersport, and everyone jumps in with their advise lol!
  18. Same could be said about a lot of models though. E30 M3->E36 M3, the E36 is a better car for performance, handling etc, but its still not an E30. Id love to own a 356 speedster some day.
  19. have some but fabric coming away as common now, is it for a racecar or a tidy car? they are yours if you want them no charge
  20. remind me when you come over this week, no promises tho
  21. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=141839475888034 good vid
  22. Real ones are 6 figure cars, most of the ones on NZ roads are reps, which is probably what that is if it's being driven primer only lol
  23. Airbags are for limos like 7 Series, S-Class, classic Caddilacs etc, or in a trials 4x4 truck
