  1. Just make sure the muffler has DTM tips and you will be right
  2. On my 14's i use Goodyear NCT 5. I drive pretty hard on them and exceed my expectations. To make my 16's last longer i paid tonys $20 to get them changed over on the rear. I run -3.5degree camber on the back. I dont really care that my tyres dont last. Aslong as im having fun pushing my car to the limit. Sorry to jack the thread. replacement for a 215/40/ZR16 to a 215/45/ZR16 any ideas?
  3. new headbolts are a good idea. These stretch alittle bit with torqued. also, bolts that hold the flywheel/finger plate should only be used once aswel.
  4. You should have undun those top nuts while the cars weight is still on them. alot easier. When im taking out the shocks, those two nuts are the first nuts i LOOSEN before doing anything else.
  5. go gull wing style like the 300SL?

  9. I was wondering of anybody had an E23 owners manual around? I would like to know the gear ratios of the Getrag 225 box please? Had a jam on google but no luck.
  10. Just heard the guy is recovering well. 2 big cuts to the head was about all he got. He was traveling home after a drinking session at a mates place before the crash took place. The cops will be waiting for him when he goes home.

  14. Man badly injured as car smashes into 2 trucks 16.02.2007 By Beck Vass A 19-year-old Katikati man is in Tauranga Hospital with serious head injuries after his car crashed into two trucks on State Highway 2 at 4.30am today. The crash happened about 10km south of Katikati, near the intersection with Work Rd. It was the second accident this week to bring traffic on the highway to a standstill following a similar crash on Monday near Waihi. Today, Katikati firefighters faced the horror situation of arriving and discovering they knew the injured man, an electrical apprentice in the town. The officer in charge of traffic in the Western Bay, Senior Sergeant Ian Campion, said the man was travelling towards Tauranga when his BMW crossed the centre line and clipped a trailer being towed by a heavy truck. The car rebounded into the path of an oncoming truck and trailer, coming to rest on the wrong side of the road. Firefighters spent about 30 minutes cutting the man free. He was unconscious at the scene and was taken to Tauranga Hospital by St John Ambulance staff. Mr Campion said it was amazing the man was alive. "Looking at the car, I'm extremely surprised that he's survived," he said. Emergency service workers said they were grateful to the truck drivers who, despite being shaken by the crash, helped the man until medics arrived. Speaking to the Bay of Plenty Times at the scene, the driver of the first truck, Don Prestley, said the crash was the scariest moment of his life. Mr Prestley has been a truck driver for 11 years and said the car came around a bend. He swerved to avoid it but the car crashed into his trailer unit, just behind where he was sitting, before being hit by the second truck. Senior Station Officer Peter Carney of the Katikati Volunteer Fire Brigade said 12 firefighters from Katikati and Omokoroa freed the man. Mr Carney was "shocked" to discover the injured man was a colleague, an apprentice at his work. He did not wish to name the business. "We're not quite with it at the moment." The crash left a lot of oil and diesel on the road which took more than four hours to clear. Drivers were either stopped from passing the site completely or diverted around Karangahake gorge over the Kaimai Range for the second time this week. Two serious crash investigators were today mapping the scene of the latest crash to try and find a cause. Traffic was opened to one lane at 6.30am for residents who lived within the cordoned off areas. The highway was reopened to traffic from about 8.30am with speed restrictions of 70kmh expected to remain in place for 24 hours because contractors had spread grit over the area. Mr Campion said while it was too early to say what caused the crashes, he urged drivers to take care on the region's roads. "A lot of crashes of late have involved heavy motor vehicles," he said. "When you make a mistake on the road and you hit a heavy motor vehicle then the chances that you can be seriously injured or killed are pretty good. "You've got to be concentrating on your driving at all times, not driving on auto pilot, and take extreme care. Drive to survive." In a similar crash on State Highway 2, near Kauri Point Rd on Monday, a 57-year-old Tauranga man suffered serious injuries to his right arm and leg after his light truck crossed the centre lane, hitting a truck's trailer. The light truck glanced off but was struck by the car that had been following it. The injured man later had his right arm amputated and is still in Waikato Hospital. Police are still investigating what led to that crash.

  21. This is the closest thing i could find. I not 100% sure what the correct name for these are. It reduces the amount of single parts in an engine. one conrod connects to two pistons. one on each bank of cylinders, on opposite strokes. This is off a ducati engine.
