    Yep its a mission. And if you do find someone willing to part with, it wont be cheap (especially if they know the value). You could also look for replicas on TM by people who make them out of fibreglass. There is someone currently waiting for an order of MT2 full kits made of fb. They might sell parts seperately.

    Fiberglass is plan B - Good feedback cheers

    Im not to worried about the expense as long as there is return on investment. 158k, sure its a lot of money but it's all relative, if they come back with more knowledge, connections, enthusiasm etc etc then 158k would not be a huge amount to make back in future savings, efficiency and benefits for the county. NZ doesn't have the funds to be innovators so sending MP's over seas to seek the best ideas the world has to offer... seems ok to me

    As for the partners going, the 5 star accommodation, the champaign treatment... I would rather encourage more to achieve that level of success then to strip it away from those that have worked hard to get it.

    Lets hang em’ based on performance rather then there travel arrangements

    No you don't need cats. Unless it was first registered after 2010 for some reason!

    I agree - based on reading below. Will talk it through with him. Should be sweet.

    2.5 Catalytic converters

    Modified production low volume vehicles that are required to be fitted

    with catalytic converters

    2.5(1) A modified production low volume vehicle that has undergone an engine conversion, other than one to which 2.5(3) to 2.5(6) applies, is required to have its exhaust gases directed through one or more catalytic converters, if:

    (a ) the vehicle was manufactured after 1 January 1990; and

    (b ) the vehicle was first registered in New Zealand after 1 May 2010; and

    (c ) the retroâ€fitted engine was originally manufactured in either:

    (i) the United States of America on or after 1 January 1975; or

    (ii) Europe or the United Kingdom on or after 1990; or

    Hey all - how do we "regular people" interpret the lvv Cert on vehicles that are required to be fitted with

    catalytic converters?

    I was originally told that I need a cat by the guy doing the cert but going back to him with a bit more info...

    I'm thinking I dont need it, my ZA assembled e30's never had one, no part for it on RealOEM for my serial number.

    How have the other kids in the play ground got on with this?

    Hey guys can you give me some feed back on a repair quote I’ve had.

    Blown head gasket on a m20b25.

    Repair estimated at $1200 includes - gasket kit, machining head & 11 hours labor. (they’re hoping to do it 9)

    Sound right and anything I should be asking? Cars done about 160k

    Thanks.
