They could only be drilled to suit a 4 stud of the same PCD which unfortunately in this case will be 4x114.

Im after an ECU for my Motronic 1.0 pfl 325 e30. Pretty sure its the 073 so go check the numbers on all those ecus lying under your work benches. Must be in perfect working condition. You can PM me here or contact me on 022 0405096 Cheers

Really need figures released by the NZ Police instead of AA Insurance. If NAC for example released the top stolen cars of their customers, then we would see a very different list of mainly jap turbo machines.

He probably does know, thats how he got the fine. They would have sent him a letter saying his car has been unlicensed for 12 months and is now deregistered... heres a fine for $200. Hes probably betting on someone not checking or knowing the process. How do you check the state of a cars registration BTW? Cant just look it up for free on CarJam anymore??

Try Lamp Specialists on Victoria st, Alicetown. Just down the road from the old Dave Hadleys tyres. They are bound to have something that will work.

How much for the fog lights? What kind of condition we talking here?

Such a shame to see this just parted out. Was hoping somebody was gonna save it in some way.

The best and what I see a lot of especially with BMW's, is "rear 5 speed manual".... Must be some kind of rare transaxle setups huh??

Mtech trim is actually slightly different to normal trim so you will need it anyway. Basically its designed to fit over the kit and not directly to the bumper. rear rubber strip is longer and all. Ive heard of people restoring them with products and looked into it but in the end i just painted my front and side trim with a trim paint.

I would recommend Khandallah/Ngaio area not only because ive grown up there, but because its in the middle and close to everything but still out of the way enough. Its 10min (off peak) to the CBD, 10min to the Hutt and a short 5min drive to Johnsonville where there is a shopping centre etc. If you are prepared to pay, Mt Vic and Thorndon are great areas super close to the city.

Really are asking for it using full on german plates though.

If i remember correctly, Aaron had a previous business that went tits up meaning he couldnt own a business again. Him and another guy (cant remember his name) started Shred but when this guy smartly wanted out, Aaron wasnt able to take it over and thats when Geoff stepped in. Sounds like Aaron just took Geoff for a ride. Only a couple of months ago, my mate had his car tuned there but had the car handed back missing badly. Aaron claimed it was the dizzy etc so my mate replaced all ignition parts but the miss remained. My mate then could never get hold of Aaron again, he never returned calls etc and basically didnt want anything to do with my mate. In the end he took it elsewhere to finish off the tune.

Yeah I noticed Tech1 wheel. Looks to have been off the road for awhile too as it hasnt had a wof check since feb 2010.

Only just saw this sitting on trade me.... http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/bmw/325i/auction-692207924.htm Realised its the same one ive seen years ago on youtube with a 2.7 and 288 schrick... Any one know anything about this car? Looks a lot quite sad now with that front apron sagging. Auction also states its now original so may not have the hotted up motor.

Diamanteschwarz for sure. Unless youre planning on keeping the car forever and stripping it right down and doing it properly. It wont be original though and it will kill it in my opinion. The tech 1's were only offered in limited colours it seems and seeing one another colour would look odd to me. My initial thought when seeing it would be that its not a genuine tech 1 and has just had the kit and badges stuck on. Really depends if you want to keep the car looking quite original or not.

I just listed this earlier today. PM me if you want http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=677248412

Yeah i always do that but didnt know its necessary and can cause the seals to go if there is air in the system. I always thought it eventually makes its way out anyway. I went to pick a part in my lunch hour today and got a rack from a 98 e36. It all swapped in and seems to be fine.

Dropped my E30 m325i (fitted with e36 rack) to get a warrant today and she passed no problems but as i was picking her up at 5pm, the guy said the mechanic mentioned something but couldnt remember what. Didnt effect it getting a wof so didnt really matter. As i went to leave, i realsied that the steering was a rather heavy and it felt as if it had very little PS fluid. Just thought id take a look when i arrived home and continued driving. After arriving home, i found all the PS fluid sitting in both steering rack boots which now resemble pumped up balloons. I dont know if they did anything or if it was just bad timing but i do know that all was well this morning when i dropped it off. Now, when one of these racks shits itself, is this usually what happens? What could have caused both sides to fail like this? Is there a valve that could have been stuck open in the PS pump or something? I dont really know much about power steering systems but i'll have to go to pick a park tomorrow and get a new rack to throw in after work and dont want it doing the same thing if its not the racks fault.

Unsure, but i assume they would.. then again, i assumed the flanges would be the same between FL and PFL but when i went to bolt my exhaust up, it just wouldn't go and it took me awhile to figure it out that they were ever so slightly different. Yes if the flange turns out to be the different size then you could get it swapped off your old one easy enough.

I just put a fl m20b25 in my pfl 325i and found out the flange on the manifolds is a slightly different length between them. The fl manifold flange was about 10mm longer length ways but the width was the same im pretty sure. This small size difference means you cant really tell just by looking at them, they need to be measured. I have this fl manifold i can sell you if you wanna measure the spacing between the holes of your exhaust flange and let me know.

I'll take them! How much to send to wellington bud?

I have one that came off a facelift e30 325i with 160,000kms. Will have to check the part number is the same as yours

Thats the cylinder identification sensor thats used on the facelift motronic 1.1/1.3. You dont need it and i would look at cutting it off.

I see that m3 around a lot as he lives in my suburb. Seems to be daily driven so i wonder really how much its changed since those photos were taken. Havnt had a good chance to look at it up close but still looks pretty damn nice driving around.

Im surprised all you guys are letting them take your plates. No way in hell id be giving mine to them. These ones that have been picked up on, are they the NZ reps or other more noticable designs?
