Did you drive this to Chch and so fresh gas and still picking up this rubbish?? I didn't test drive the car when I looked at it but seemed to idle fine, so this is is very surprising!!

Look like my 02 so yup fronts.

cawwwwwwwwwwwww *talons out*

Are those wheels really worth $750? i have one in my E38

im sure the insurance company will have made the assumption its certed. With our silly rules, despite being all OEM parts and power level as a "real" 325i, it will still need drive shaft hoops, other than that should pass fine

he's lucky he is doing this in New Zealand. Do that crap in asia and many parts of Europe he would be dead by now.

nice gearknob!

Im listening........

Get your IT guy on to it when he comes over on Tuesday for cabby parts Brent!!! just fyi, your login name will always be your very first Bimmersport name, regardless what you change it too eg those of you vets here will know i was originally 'ethrty320' here, which is still the user name i need to use when logging in from a different device.

... that generate electricity from Diesel. Diesel (and petrol for that matter) is very good an maintaining a constant engine speed, they become very efficient. get a 1000cc engine or even less to drive an electricity generator that drives the motors for the wheels. Why the worlds manufacturers havent worked this out yet i dont know... The railways have done it for 50 years, and the technology has been around for over 100 years...

That would assume they have the same acceleration for the first 700mm (length of the barrel). The gun will have far higher initial acceleration because of the explosion, and will hit terminal velocity earlier in its decent, if not already exceeding terminal velocity when fired. Depending on height of building they should hit the ground at same speed, but fired bullet will be much sooner.

my old man has a Rover V8 one. between that an my old Patrol i will never own a passenger car with a solid front axle again. but otherwise i do like it, the cream leather with dark piping really tickles my tastebuds, and the rover V8 as obsolete as it is does sound very cool. I think every real kiwi has a bit of Land Rover in them, whether the like to admit it or not

hate to be the guy at the end of the party that says home time..... but make sure you get the rust in the firewall thoroughly cut out and repaired correctly on that car before the pipe dreams really set in E30 coupes and Sedans are very fun, drive them like you stole them and never hit the middle pedal putting it into a corner. Cabbys are quite floppy and don't corner half as well as the coupes and sedans. Not sure about the tourings as the only ones I have driven i haven't owned, and you can't drive a car you don't own like one you do!! Im not sure what the suspension state is of that car (I/we never drove it), but get that all refreshed and sorted before you go crazy on the engine!

is paint stripper safe for the aluminium/magnesium etc the wheels are made of?

Hey Guys, got an M50B25 Non Vanos from a 91 E36. Headgasket is cooked, any use to anyone? I am driving up to Auckland some time the second half of next week so could chuck it in the back of the van...

its probably WHY you have that idea lol S2000 seems a good buy all round

Is that dude in his 30s? think i saw it yesterday in Petone. I could track down a dude with a very modified one if thats what you are after Paul, hes only three degrees away.

thats a new one by me

no point doing diff until or with out thought towards confirming the manual swap. you dont want to change it twice.

think the stereo issue could be the ignition switch starting to crap out.

how would one go about having a test done? whom? price?

send a PM to him, will come up in his emails if he hasnt turned that feature off

got in a lift with a guy yesterday that reeked, if that was me i would be embarrased, or maybe he doesnt know. i guess he doesnt realise why his career has stagnated, his managers will be too embarassd to bring a meeting. the cigs probably costing much more than what he pays over the counter

My dozen is bolted to the block too, but its probably pushing 2kVA so it needs to be.
