Just started Playstation ID : MattE_28

I'm going up to Nelson in new years and have an option to get a ride home if that may help anyone from the North island wanting it a bit closer I feel I need to help. eps you John haha.

hahaha? WTF? when did that happen?

PS3. now I just need a tv and GT5

I admire everyone that makes this community what it is and would like to take a moment to give a shout out to the members that aren't so mechanically inclined, don't work on bimmers for a living, don't race, mod or have the money or knowledge to have "project cars". I thought I would update you guys on my bimmer I acquired in June thanks to the help of you guys and John especially. this is how it started http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....hl=taranaki+e28 this is how it went http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....st&p=349464 this was how it looked in June this is what it is now. Nothing special. But it hasn't crashed, and it's in much better nic now then it was 6 months ago. I'm sure this car will stay in the bimmer community for awhile to come It would be great to know the stories of the other amateur members here that just enjoy their bimmer and like to see them maintained. MORE BEER!

I really don't know about that colour :/ not a spec of dirt in that engine bay. niiice.

so it spins by itself? when the car sits idle and is hot does the fan boot up?

sounds like a problem with the fan yea.

yours are blue right? here is one option - http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....showtopic=33465 otherwise, get your dad to fork out for recaros

didn't take long to crash it then aye? haha. best part is, because your dad did it. He HAS to pay to fix it

while you're here mark. how bout change 'Mark's rust repair" thread to 'Matt's' haha. d*ck

Finally got round to sanding/cutting/polishing/waxing my repainted valance today. mmmm shiny. and not rusty and dented.

you can now listen to as much Katy Perry as you like

HB Bro. Sucks how all your gifts are for your car that you don't even have with you... what did Chris get ya? (you know, that renault brother)

would love to see pics, be cool to know what springs you used and price etc too.

Finished Marks Bday/Xmas present extended the e28s clutch stop.

If anything caused scratches/swirl marks it would have been the scratch remover on the orbital polisher. You have to be very careful when using those, especially when you should really use different grades of buffer polish for each pass and know what your doing with the orbital polisher. With a car that new I would be doing it all by hand. we all know of my bros detailing thread - http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....c=21747&hl=

You're not mate. You just have good taste. Take that from the 21yo

saved up for the plate before their new BMW?

DCH Motor Sport http://www.dchmotorsport.co.nz/ I'm sure they will help you out.

good to see it passed on Can't wait to see what's done to it.

Dooo it! you won't!

is it just me or does that IS lip not work? I like it without it.

get some clear lenses for those front indicators bro, nice cheap improvement.

no wonder it costs so much in bloody labour to fix those things...what kind of mechanic has that kind of equipment? haha I'm happy with my E28 thanks. 2 screws hold everything!
