This isn't necesarily the case. If you get it sweet, it will be very reliable.Turbos can be just as bad if not worse... Esp. if you start winding the boost up. heh, yeah, and what of the cost to "get it sweet" ? Id prefer to own a newer car, where most stuff is still sweet, and leave it running sweet.. i dont intend on heavily modifying cars, including the turbo i buy.. My decision isnt really up for debate, if you want to ask questions about the sale, please post, otherwise... yeah..

had one..i was attempting to own a real car, seems this bimmer isnt it

Ill take 6k cash without the headunit 6.5k as is

Nah, its not that its too slow, just that i wasnt aware bmws had such high maintenance requirements And i also wasnt aware id have to spend $2000 AFTER sale to make it WoFable... My assumption is that this sort of cost can only get worse, so im getting out before getting stuck with a high cost vehicle p.s its as quick as Grants...

Hi all My car is for sale, see here for details: 325i

^^ Nicely moderated

Thanks Carl!

roffle @ your signature pic Dave hahahah the funky crock on the left is a hoot.

Awesome, thanks for tagging this post Carl, my conversion is 3-4 months away, im thinking.. Any chance you could give an estimated total cost for the project, so i can start buying bits and pieces? Please, and thanks

Ever consider the fact that the seats are not brand new, thus his ass might not be the only one thats sat in them? :drugs:

Until same smoked person races the 320 up a hill? *cough*

psimon, did you own a skyline before your bimmer?

Hmmm $110 US is $160ish NZ I had no idea the exchange rate was so good!

When your driving in a straight line the bar would be under tension anyhow - and cornering puts the towers under compression. You just need a bar that fits - not an adjustable one. Looks like we just need a bar that fits....You can pay $300ish for a piece of metal that will do the same thing as a $100 piece if you want Carl.. Seems some of us are on a lower budget, and prefer to shop around for good deals.. Granted, i paid $400 a pop for the ones on my skyline, did a great job.. but the $115 one on my vtec prelude prior to skyline was just as good.. Shrug, each to their own..

Carl, why go to that expense, when you can just get them made here? All we need is a piece of solid alloy/steel between the top of the struts.. Smokin is onto it.. i believe..

Are you taking orders?

btw, keen for group buy.. if they do the job. :mosh:

Need to have brackets on the end of the pipe, that can "wind" out... so you can put a bit of tension on it, pushing top of shocks out just a fraction.. Not AS MUCH use having a strut brace that just sits in place, with no tension.

Yup, bang on Carl. Where from Grant, and how much?

Need to call a couple of these Auckland shops, and get some prices...

Keeps your front end and rear end SQUARE, STIFF and STRAIGHT. Ever driven a go cart Carl? Experienced no flex at all? Sure, i only get a little bit of sideways movement of the body when turning, but the strut braces remove 95% of that.. firms the cornering up like you wouldnt believe... Always had strut braces, always will.. make a huge difference.. to me, at least.

Thanks CamYeah, lol, Aucklanders seem to think that the whole country knows what/where "Auckland specific" shops are...

Nice, excuse the ignorance, but what/where/who is Woottons? Thanks!

yeah, he got an odd look from me, when i saw his flesh coloured belt.

Had front and rear strut braces on the skyline... Took them off one day, to see what they actually did, and damn, they make a huge difference. Each to their own Carl, but i definitely dont want them for cosmetic value.
