welcome. upload some photos for us to look at. yup Z3 shift works perfectly as a short shift for E30's article here when you do your cambelt, whether you choose to do the work yourself or take it to a mechanic it's advised that while you have the cam cover off etc to check the water pump and seal etc and replace while you're there if needed. Also make sure that you replace the cambelt tensioner along with the cambelt! enjoy

best thing you can invest in is yourself, find something you're good at, start a business and away you go, there is no other way you can have that kind of control over your money.

problem solved AA came to my house and replaced my battery for the same price it would have cost to get a century battery (one of the better brands) not delivered, they tested it etc .... great service. the batteries the AA use are their own, they are sealed calcium batteries made in japan. I am happy with the final result $159 later. except for the diagnosed MYSTERY BATTERY DRAINAGE

like the title says my battery is being drained mysteriously when the keys are out of the car and nothing is on ... what could it be? i need to fix it or i'll ruin my battery

i can;t figure out how they get the cars on and off the platforms ... do they leave the hand brakes off? and those platforms are tilted forward so that they simple push and pull the cars on and off? is there a driver who is not afraid of heights working there? big magnets? conveyors on each platform? gahhh i want to know!

family inherits the money or what ever is in your will.it is your money. the government gives you tax credits of approx $1000 per year your employer will put in an extra 4% of what your earn in a few years (but no doubt will take it into consideration when deciding your pay rate) you can take a 'contributions holiday' whenever you like, for as long as you like but still can't touch the money until ... you are 65, you move overseas permanently, you decide to buy a house (can only do this after 5 years) the bonus $1000 you get when you start is just another incentive for people who are easily suckered by money bribes, you don't get to see this bonus $1000 until you reach 65 no matter what. there are many different schemes you can join, ASB has the lowest fees (not necessarily the best return) however they do offer a wide range of choices/risks. my take on the thing is that i'm gonna wait a few months so they can iron out any problems (i can't be bothered dealing with it) then perhaps sign myself up for an actively managed balanced fund with the ASB first choice scheme (partnered with sovereign etc...) being young an active management style could pay off over time and bring me a higher return, but some people would prefer to go for a less risky cash type scheme which is pretty much like having another savings account that you can't touch. hope that was helpful

i doubt all the spokes were hollow, unless they have an amazing new manufacturing process i don't know about

So it's time for me to get a new battery for the E30, these M20's need a fair bit of battery juice to get going and my battery is so exhausted it won't even start the car even after a good charge. (fingers crossed it is just the battery) it would be good to hear what people recommend, what experiences people have had etc .... I need a standard battery for my daily and a compact battery for the race car (roll cage is in the way), from past experience 450 CCA or thereabouts seems to be the go ....
