Monsoons!

E46 330d $1 reserve - There is a catch though
dirtydoogle replied to Driftit's topic in TradeMe discussions
That's a real shame. I'd go look at it if it was closer to here but not worth the trouble otherwise. I do need an m57 in an e36 -
My convoluted brake change tale...
dirtydoogle replied to hugo_nz's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering
Just had the same drama with our e70. I welded a studay to the lock nut and slide hammered it off, then welded a wheel nut to the spliced section. What a PITA! -
Got me some new monsoons for the 316i for $1. Super excited Will hopefully get time to paint the style 32s this weekend and chuck them on. Then drive slowly everywhere
-
I have a nice set of the factory 16 Msport wheels without tyres if that helps? Have a few set of wheels up here if you're interested
-
Love Boston coupes!
-
There's a guy on trademe who sells them new, out near Puketapu behind Hastings
-
I think the only way forward is to buy an e55
-
Just drill and grub screw it in place, have done a few with no issues
-
If it helps we tow a 10m three axle with two to three side by sides with both an e53 and e70, with a combined milage of around 300,000km and have yet to rip a draw bar out or run out of brakes
-
I just returned 8.6L/100km over a 300km trip towing a 1275 clubman for a mate in mine. X5 life is good
-
For what it's worth it have a 94 date stamp ecu with EWS You can have it removed

Is the 335i the 2019 performance bargain?
dirtydoogle replied to Herbmiester's topic in General Discussion
Worth mentioning that you need rod bolts in a JZ to push proper power. Standard piston/rod will manage 500wkw quite well. About the same as an n5x without a rod bolt upgrade -
Is the 335i the 2019 performance bargain?
dirtydoogle replied to Herbmiester's topic in General Discussion
I guess it's part of the "culture" of the boy racer community? I won't be surprised to see a move towards the 335 and such in the near future. Plenty of mk5+ golf around that have been treated to a tune to make them slightly less disappointing to drive and a few "hot" ST225 Focus popping up. All of which offer the performance of a clapped out GSR or early WRX from the 90s... -
Okay...lets hear...whats the best way to bleed a clutch...
dirtydoogle replied to LsBeema's topic in Maintenance
You can just hook a line up from the nearest caliper, open both nipples and pump away on the brakes Easy. Do it all the time in the paddock -
I missed the auction, really unhappy because I am dead keen on anything Fiji green
-
But also plays with the belt angle
-
Looks nice and weak to me. I'd much prefer to have a classic x-bar
-
Most e36/46 are like that. The 36 is worse but they were all on the piss even new
-
Why not a 123d? They're super neat
-
Pretty sure she can't say anything if she doesn't know it exists yeah appears to be a pfl front end
-
Start with basics ( no doubt you have already), fuel, air, spark, compression and timing Then I'd be looking at cam/crank sensor testing. Or finding someone friendly to scan it for you
-
I'll be watching that auction like a hawk I believe this one was for sale in Palmy at a dealership two or three years back. Fiji green makes me fizz
