  1. Might have to go to the bank tomorrow hah I could do with manual an more torque ha
  2. CPA have them they are pretty cheap brand new too I was looking at some for a while and still am
  3. I offered $200 subject to a test drive plus another $200 for said test drive. I don't want a bargain

    BMW accident

    Correct. I've cut up an e30 and those sills are actually hollow and not much thicker than the gaurds. Scary really
  5. When I listened to my classic before it got stolen, I could go to an artist, pick all albums, and then pick a particular song and it would play through the rest of the songs by said artist once the original song had finished (make sense?) On my iPad though, if I pick the same artist, all of the songs are onscreen sorted by album. If I pick a song it only plays the songs in that album though, rather than all songs by that artist. (this make sense too??) Anyone know how I can fix this? When I leave this thing on my passenger seat or work bench I don't want to keep having to pick songs and I like to start each artist with the song that is in my head. I never listen to albums, nor do I want to when you have one or two songs on each album copied so you can only listen to those few till you change again Might have to take it to the mac shop if no one knows. It's an iPad 1 OS4.something Cheers, andy
  6. How many poles are there on the starter?
  7. Nope I haven't, I'm going off research I did before buying including talking to my electronics teacher back when i was at school who used to do electronics research. Everyone has different opinions on them I guess. I shouldn't have gone off topic ha Me too ha That's correct, and I didn't say you were wrong. I'm talking about the willingness of the battery to give bursts of current, and the long term effects of a battery doing that. My capacitor discharges itself when I need it to. Charging it is always fun though ha I doubt it too, I think it's max rated. My bad ha sorry As I said above, a capacitor smooths delivery from the battery to the amps. The battery may have been unable to provide that much current to the amps. Since the install of a capacitor, it provides a smaller more contiuous flow of current Wikipedia a capacitor if you are still confused Checking your alternator is up to scratch is always the firs thing you should upgrade if necessary
  8. Rogan is incorrect. They are for when you have a standard battery and a not a gell cell. They smooth out the supply of power from the battery to the amps so instead of 60A-Nothing-60A-nothing... every time the bass hits, it takes a steady 30A. Its far better for your on board electronics too like relays and stuff. Ever seen an old starlet that has headlights that pulse to the bass of the car? General rule of thumb is 1Farad for every 1000W of amplification, but nothing wrong with more. I have 1950W and a 5F cap. For the average person you dont need one as the amp pulls maybe 30A max which it will supply. When you have all your components and a couple of subs running though, its a good idea. Some people think they are a waste of money. they are also the people that have faulty electronics in thier car because they still use a stock battery. I say keep it
  9. pricing seems right. iirc I sold one the same for not much less than that and was snapped up pretty quickly too
  10. Relisted: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=362465463 who would have thought a facelift lip would sell before this.
  11. I took my wagon to a few place on wednesay, Jeff Gray said it was worth $1500 despite the schnitzer goodness and a 60k engine. Absolute joke. I plan to go to McGuiness, he always has classics, and though he specialised in british cars, he knows most of the euros and thier rarity. Ill be taking the car to him in a few weeks one ive tidied a few more things. I perve his show room when i go to my storage place at the back of his ha
  12. looks alright to me. i thought you were going to buy a b25 though?
  13. I wore my fresh foods uniform to work (green) and a blow up Guiness hat. I hope everyone else is wearing green today and a good irish meal for tea ha
  14. Same here. If it was really a car for transporting dirt bikes around, why is at the nurburgring for one, and for two, the swirly paint jobs are only EVER put on prototype cars. If it was a promotional car it would have far more signwriting. BMW must have seen all the E30/E34/E39 pickups on the net and decided to make a factory one! Cool
  15. If you get to read this before being banned for posting that picture, resetting it wont work, because it usually will just come back on when you start the car again.
  16. Let me know how you get on with this Lucan, i want to do the same eventually
  17. That wasnt a typo lol im serious! if i lived with them id take a photo. My Wagon skids up on the drive if i try to get up it, and the silver E30 i used to have beached itself.
  18. Misread, i thought they were coming off that E34 and going onto the M3
  19. Ill take the headlight cover panels. I always seem to loose/break mine. Will it come with the screw clip things? PM me your account If you could bring these back for me Paul that would be awesome!?
  20. The repco ones fit well, there is adequate room to clear the torsion springs, and you can fit two side by side too if you want Doof doof (Dont have a photo of after tidying the wiring, its the last photo in the album so assume i broke the camera the next day or something)
  21. My grandperants (stock) 911 Turbo Cab does that too, they live in wellington though and thier driveway is an abortion of a thing, the front wheel is about 750mm in the air as they enter the garage. Thank goodness for RWD Appreciate everyones opinions are different, but for me the right amount of low is where it looks good, but you dont have to think twice about driving anywhere. A car is still a car, 60mm off the ground is retarded
