  1. Seeing as youve got pick up only, i hope you dot mind me poting here, was gunna make a thread anyway... Got a set in Welly same price for 4 door...
  2. 1 722 517 Im having no luck coming up with anything. Definately a BMW part. Just want to know what engine its off really
  3. can we get a like button? lol im actually only half joking on this too... edit: for example: these sorts of threads. http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....30&start=30 i know im guilty of this too, but it would cut out a lot of unnecessary posting? Just a thought i had just now, maybe its the cider talking? ...and a dislike button for that matter.....
  4. I will send it through my work, so should be about $80ish there door to door Did you stop to consider ive been called seeing as my phone number is both on this forum and on my trademe classified, and there are a lot of watchers before you put fingers to keyboard?
  5. Make purchase of me lol Quite a bit of interest on trademe, but would rather sell through here and avoid fees!
  6. nice google search in explorer bar... NERD /off topic
  7. being the proud owner of a 520i, save the coin and wait for a V8, or at least a 2.5L. the 2L unit has no balls at all with this weight, and i even have the M52 version with vanos lol. mind you i use 91......
  8. This. Never used to be a problem, but now i used it at work school and both computers in the house haha. Another vote for video embedding and how about getting rid of the option of that different layout that keeps tripping people up when they come to here from google links? id be surprised if anyone actually uses it. I signed up but never came here untill one day i found out how to change it and now im here too much lol. Other than that, layout as it is is perfect imo. Maybe having the option of a static picture as it is now or a snazzy slideshow styled thing at the top of the page that scrolls through members cars? would have to be switchable for phones/work etc where data is limited? would make us look classy though
  9. the Holden Adventura is a VERY capable car if you can afford it, and handles like nothing else ive driven (not that the list is amazing mind you, but ive driven an 04 Boxter and a few late BMWs..). it sticks to the road like glue, and have pushed it at speeds WAYYYY beyond id be happy to push a RWD in corners. trouble is.... its not just thirsty... its a fish lol
  10. AMG Merc AQUITD or something similar around quite a bit, anyone know him from another forum? been tempted to stalk the car a few times haha
  11. yeah its a good idea and i have considered that, but im thinking about something a little bit better for the schnitzer, though if this doesnt sell then ill revisit that idea. This will fund the other half of what i want to do. I love quoted prices, much easier to plan funds haha
  12. coincidentaly i was in a police car today (im not as bad ass at it may seem on face value lol) and this topic came up in chit chat with the detective. im not saying im or he is right though, i would be more inclined to agree with you.
  13. Have built this kit up myself and had it running in the car, it goes absolutely nuts This kit includes everything you need to convert your stock automatic E30 316i through to 325i to M52B28 Manual. will work on manual cars too, just a few less parts to install as you already have pedal boxes/mastercylinders etc. I may take your current manual setup as part payment towards this. you will need to pull most of it anyway to be replaced. 100% plug and play for facelift 88-93 E30s Kit includes the following: Engine - M52B28 block and head - M50 Intake manifold (wider for more power than M52) - Tuned ECU Management, OBD1/OBD2 Hybrid - Custom fuel rail - Shaved flywheel, sitting at the edge between daily driver and race spec in terms of weight - Alternator and power steering pump, no aircon pump - brandnew oil filter, drivebelt and waterpump Gearbox - Getrag 240 from a low milage car (very strong, dont believe what the kids write on the internet about it, they proove themselves to well beyond what this engine is capable of as is) - Pedal box - driveshaft - linkages - master and slave cylinders - like new clutch, pressure plate, throw out and spigot bearings Compatible Brake Booster ..And literally 100s of hours of research. you could put this kit together yourself for similar price, but it wont be plug and play and youll have to do your own research. not with this kit, everything is wired up ready for you to plug in, and help will be a phone call away if you need it. I could also install this for you for extra. **Note: there is a possibility not everything is mentioned, but everything is there, and i will give the buyer an itemised list of everything so that if needed in the future wear items can be replaced. Please do not call me asking for information on how to do the conversion yourself unless you buy this, I do not have the time to humor you for no reward** Listed on TradeMe at $3k, BimmerSport $2700. Looks like a big number, but try doing it for that price yourself. Any Questions give me a CALL on 0273079322 (do not text, i hate text and if you cant afford a call you cant afford the conversion). Freight will be door to door, nationwide. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=397679124
  14. from the first photo posted, that doesnt count as a corner lol
  15. now the fun part is figuring out what starter is on it haha. exE36 engine, exE38 trans in an E34 body..... lol
  16. offered to help someone move house realised the work wagon doesnt have a tow bar used the schnitzer which does argued the point why boxes couldnt go on the newly reconditioned leather seats argued the point why boxes couldnt go in the boot next to the speakers realised the car is impracticle washed it back in the garage again for a few weeks lol
  17. the way the camera is facing, its clearly visible. mobile van cameras very rarely are aimed at the side of the road where traffic is leaving them as they arent accurate enough. it will be picking up the traffic going the other way
  18. Thats what a relay does when its functioning mitch. If your voltages have checked right then its getting power from the relay. Check voltage across the fuel pump (disconnect it from the car). Not sure what a good resistance is, but you should be able to google acceptable values
  19. Windows work on the car, as does everything else lights wipers etc :S ill have a look at this link and see
  20. cheers oli will give that a go if i can get my hands in there! Its tighter than a fish's ass down there. I was messing around with the battery in it, and heres an interesting thing i have noted. assume the wagon with the problem is A (i have two wagons to save confusion lol). If i disconnect the battery in car B and connect the terminals to car A's battery which is still connected to car A, car B starts and car A doesnt. If i reconnect the battery in car B both cars start. Im connecting the leads to the battery terminals on both cars Does that ring any bells for anyone? why is it always me that has electrics trouble!?!?!
  21. im undecided, on the best action, but this is not it zero limit is stupid imo. so now we cant use mouth wash or use cough mixture etc for fear of some getting into our system? I believe there are two better ways to tackle the problem 1/ Extend it across ALL age brackets. Youth are targeted as the problem too much, but there is a significant proportion of "adult" drivers that do it too. 2/ Raise the penalty, or educate people on the current penalty. okay so i loose my licence for 3 months.... im still going to drive to get to work etc arent i? how often do you get pulled over and breath tested? and 90% of the time when you do they ask you what licence you are on, say your on your full and they dont even ask to check it. I would hazard a guess most people will not be aware that they cannot be a doctor/cop/lawyer/lots of other things if thats on your record, not to mention insurance will be harder to get. How about a higher financial penalty as well? It would sure as hell stop me from risking it after 2 or 3 beers..... i wouldnt even start.
