bump. This car is NZ New and all motorsport stuff is factory, i have the build sheet to proove it. still no biters? Could sell car minus the motorsport stuff if someone is interested in a standard 318i manual coupe for the race series?? would leave it on the motorsport suspension, otherwise standard also listed on trademe now: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=339362486

if they are smaller they wont screw into the hub? or do you mean they need smaller heads?

okay so ive been working on this quite a bit and im almost done. farkkk its hard wiring, even harder when you are colourblind!! May end up not needing to do this if i decide to trackspec the car but may as well finish what ive started I have been reading up a bit, and it seems that, from the extent of my electrical issues, my fusebox curcuit board may be bad. so i wouldnt mind swapping this out just to be sure, but how hard is this to change? or do i have to replace the whole box? i dont want to unscrew the box and take it apart as i dont know what its like inside and if springs and crap start flying out...... not cool. To those more experienced than me, does this sound correct? and if so, how easy is it? cheers

will be there next saturday, will definately be a topic to talk about!! you coming?

id be all over that if it was in E34 fitment

did you keep the plate? would be worth a bit id think!! Id have got it to stash away for a rainy day ha

Now i know what to tell the perants to get me for christmas.. they have been nagging lol

Any recommendations on a club in wellington region? i ideally would like to join a club that has older and/or european cars, not ricer stuff. Have had brief look through the site I really dont have the financial backing, nor ability to take a lot of time off work to compete in the open class. but then again its not realistic to assume i could be competitive and not a rolling roadblock when ive never driven on a track before. Future could hold anything though!

its raining today too, incase you need the help

SENT!!

happy birthday bruh

thanks so much for the tips! definately sounds like a good idea just to do a few days in full street trim to see how i like it the car runs etc but its not quite as reliable as id like yet. Would definately like to do this though. wont be till next year now though. If someone from welly is going to manfield in january ill tag along

saw an E30 M3 had a german plate starting with F on it (government combination by the looks) next to the stadium, and also an E46 M3 outside park ave shops in lower hutt... both really nice!!

definately cheaper than fines, no question, seeing as my next one also involves a loss of licence :S So getting it track legal so to speak would require what? As long as i would be prepared to put my life at risk behnd the car going 200clicks is that it? or are there other requirments? it all sounds too easy to be true lol

So after getting the 5er, and getting back to crising around and really enjoying it, i have really settled down my driving, much to even my own disbelief. However I know that when i get my twincam finished, ill be tempted to be a d*ck again. Soooo... Ive been thinking about turning it into an almost dedicated track car. Strip the interior, stereo, acessories etc, sell the bits i dont need anymore, throw on some tyres and a roll cage and go racing sounds good in theory eh. However having noone in the family or the friend clique that is into cars, let alone racecars, i have no idea whats required in regard to requirements, legal stuff etc. I will be a one man team. Also, how much would i be looking at putting aside a year to maintain a racecar in terms of tyres, wear items, track fees etc? (assuming i dont break sh*t, have an idea what that sort of thing costs) Would i require WOF and Reg and a cert for open play days etc, not real racing, but familiarisng myself with the car and a racetrack.. ive never done it before The car is pretty much setup to go for the track already, my tyres would be adequate, and power and handling even more so. the weakest links will be me and the brakes which i will invest in before i see a track in the car I am told you need a log book to be able to have a roll cage... but wtf is a log book lol I in no way meet the requirements for the E30 series, and im not going to start again from scratch, and im not good enough for the open class. Thanks in advance! I want to keep it to the track and not on the street now. Contributing factor to loosing my mrs, if thats not an incentive to change i dont know what is!

okay ill dig out the tracking number tomorrow. its in the wagon somewhere and see where its at. Cant remember your adress off the top of my head but if its not central auckland may take an extra day to everyone else :S

Done first post will be updated with peoples orders in 2 minutes So thats everyone done then? this is your last chance, i am very unlikely to be doing this again in the near future, would doubt anyone can offer this price again either. Order will be sent first thing tomorrow so make sure i know what you want before then!! will post here when its sent

so everyone has thiers now right? sweet

pity the people i deal with dont do manufacturer stickers would have been cheaper than the above price on stickers too

Im going to run my scanner over it this arvo. the guys told him they put 4.5Liters in, but if thats how much they usually take, id say there is 5-5.5L in there

nup your order is in. Last day for recieving orders today, though early tomorrow morning will still be in time

Hey guys. my mates E46 318i has its check engine light on, which has come on since he got the car an oilchange at pitstop. so i checked the oil as the first thing and its above the top mark on the dipstick by quite a way. Is this likely to be the cause of the check engine light coming on? Also how much oil does an N42B20 take? Its automatic if that makes a difference Thanks, from a very worried friend!

oh really? i know the concept of ABS and what it does, but i dont really know HOW it does it. right off to HowStuffWorks.com haha.

well if i order on the 7th, they will be shipped on that day im told, which means that they will be here either 10th or 14th... so should definately get them out to you in time for christmas, even allowing for xmas delays. this is why im closing order on tuesday rather than giving it a week till friday
