Bump Have found some wheels I need, so keen to move these one. $700

Bump, $900 ono

Looks to measure out just over 72mm, can't get calipers in there. I have had a set of other wheels machined to increase the centre bore, so can be done

Ok, Brent will know more than me, will check size when I get home.

Pretty sure they came off a E39, google says they fit.

Future proof yourself haha

I've got a staggered set of style 5s with practically new goodyear eagle f1s 225/50R16. Wheels are 16x7 & 8". Centre caps all there and in good nick, just taking up garage space. In Invercargill but happy to drop to a transport depot etc. $900 ono?

Yeah I thought that was the case, just looking at easy options first

Long shot, but does anyone have or know of a E46 XI being parted out? Cheers,

So really big f*&k up on my part, trying to hard to try and make up 1.5seconds to get a class win on a hill climb saw us leave the road pinned in 3rd. Got a tad unlucky as there was a slip on the side of the road that we fell into, if it wasnt there we would have driven down the grass. Anyways, my mistake has resulted in time for a new shell.

I've just got the standard 328 system with no rear muffler, I don't mind the sound, it is loud but with a helmet on its fine. https://fb.watch/1QdzLPKQdp/

Awesome, thanks for that. Still plenty of noise?

was it this one? looking for something for the rear of my rally car so I can delete the cats etc. https://www.chase.co.nz/part/577/0/RD46001

Some onboard if anyone is interested, havent got the gopro set up right, like alot of things it was untested prior to the first stage. Still plenty to learn with the driving too, have the autocross season coming up, along with some rally sprints/hill climbs that'll give me much needed seat time.

We finished the car Friday night, started our first rally Saturday. Had a dream run, no issues with the car and was able to build speed as the day went on. So much fun.

Been flat out finishing off the cage, painting and getting ready for the Rankleburn Rally on the 10th October. I'm now just bolting it all back together, really happy with how its all turning out. Pretty stoked with the paint on the cage/interior & engine bay turned our for my first crack at painting a car. Took the day off yesterday to get the engine/gearbox in, drivers side is all buttoned up now minus the final install of the dash.Waiting on my LSD to come back, front struts and a bit of reinforcement welding on the trailing arms. Have entered the rally so need to keep smashing this out. Cheers,

So some big mistakes were made with the blue shell, big enough that for the price of the a new shell and considering some damage we uncovered we made the call to start fresh. This was prior to lockdown 1. Fast forward to now, car is in the last stages of getting the cage welded, I have an event on the 10th October I want to run at so theres a big final push to finish this. I create a page on Facebook for my mates to see the progress, but it turned out I had made a group instead, facebook noob. So i have created a public page for the car, swing over and have a look if your interested. I've just dumped all my photos down at this stage, not much of a write up as that was all in the group. https://www.facebook.com/Fences-Hedges-Rallysport-114212216964109

Hey guys, Quick question regarding my rally build. I've been looking at options of adding gauges to monitor the engine in more detail than the standard water temp & oil pressure gauge. Haltech have a OBDII dash, https://www.haltech.com/haltech-ic-7-display-dash-a-new-way-of-seeing-things/ I quite like this display and if it will work with my car it seems the best option all round. Question is from what I read online there is varying information about OBDII cars. I got a NZ new 328i that I took the engine, gearbox, loom etc out of to put into my compact. The car isn't at home and with the lockdown I cant go have a quick look. The question is, do NZ E36 328i's have OBDII? and if so has anyone used a OBDII dash with it? Cheers Adam.

Rough haha

Hey, Change of plans here, ended up going for a e36 compact & chucked all my gear into that. Just a much easier route & "should" get me flicking gravel sooner.

Yeah been in that shed a number of times, thats where my old E30 ended up & my seats came from. Yeah they are a true coilover for the rear. Will end up making new tops for the rear towers, as the strut mounting position needs to push outboard 18mm to clear the coilover from the body. Will also reinforce the trailing arm points. Palmside sell escort rear towers, that I might end up buying to make the process easier & the tower stronger. Don't rush down, as its a far way away from being ready.

Epic, that's what I was hoping would be the case. Cheers for the info.

As I mentioned above somewhere, I'm going to be running r33 skyline 4 pot front & 2 pot rear brakes. Looking at options for rotors, I can reuse the r33 front rotors with some modification, or stick with the 328i rotors, which are slimmer. But for the rears, I want to retain the handbrake, I will be running a hydro setup as well, but for getting on the trailer, parking etc I want to keep the original handbrake. Looking into it, it looks like z4 3.0 rear rotors are a similar size to the r33's ones, and it also looks like the original hand braking shoes etc will work with them, might need a little work, but should be close enough. Anyone else looked into this option?

I remember watching a video a while ago where they removed the roof skin on an E36, was a simple case of drilling out spot welds and prying apart. Has anyone done this or can confirm if this is the case? Cheers

A big part of the next step arrived. My OMP HTE-R 400 seat arriving down. Luckily my arse fits. Went for this seat, as it has the head restraint, but it is also narrow across the top of the seat, making it possible to pass helmets between the two seats at stage ends etc. Now putting $$ away to get the cage steel down, and start tearing into that.
