  1. Did some skids in old yella at an autocross last weekend. Fun times!! Also went to the oamaru airport drags a month ago and managed to put down a 13.97 with the clutch slipping between gears. Not bad for an unprepped track on street tyres. Was faster than most turbo jappas which was good to know!
  2. So a e36 3.2 had a bigger turning circle than a 3.0. Interesting...
  3. K&G McCloud up Waverly is the place to go with euro stuff. Bmw send a lot of stuff up to them. They'll be able to diagnose the issue without throwing money at guesses to what it could be. Did it come with much of a service history?
  4. Spotted this the other week, looks great as is, but I guess sometimes function does need to over come form....but I'm yet to learn that for myself haha!
  5. Depending on condition and specs, can go anywhere from 1000-2500. They only came out on 5 or 7 series so usually a low offset of 20 or less. I do have a set of 17x8s et20 I'm currently refurbing if you're interested. Haven't gotten too far if you were wanting to have them finished to a certain style...
  6. Mine have m moulded into them so im guessing not
  7. In a house with too much bmw crap lying around haha! There's a complete m20b23 that's been sitting outside under cover for a few years now I should really make some effort to sell.
  8. Thought is seen them somewhere. I just used some trannys I had lying around from some old downlights and ran each side in series to dull them down a bit and hooked up to an extension lead because I'm too lazy to do my job properly haha!
  9. After a refurb they will be for sale...
  10. was told to clean the garage up the other week since its filling up with wheels and work related crap since becoming self employed. But got side tracked part way through and made a thing. Also was a dyno day yesterday so thought I'd run the m3 up. Showed up a few turbo japs also here's the wheel collect thus far- that arnt on cars
  11. Should probably be running 10/60. Did you run a flushing product through first? And did you replace the vanos filter? But could just be a belt idler going bad
  12. Oh believe me I would love to! But don't think the missus would let me. Have enough cars a don't drive already.
  13. God damn this thing is sweet! Must be so much fun.
  14. Got a chance to drive the m3 after 2 months since its last one...which was only to the wof station and back. Was a good run out to middlemarch and back, much better and faster than taking the mondeo work wagon!
  15. Haha! Yea could be right there, they do step up near the top so may have been the boy doing the job and wasn't paying attention
  16. Yea good buying at 3k! Nice score
  17. Yea that's a bit much for me at the moment!
  18. Should really hurry up and list mine...
  19. Spent some time on the new e46, swapped the tail lights out for the clear indicator facelift ones. Just need to buy some sides and front now since the other car had a broken one. Also after a good looking over noticed the intake boot had a tear where the icv comes off so pulled that off, what a mission that was! Checked the disa valve while I was there and was all good. Use some raychem over the tear to fix that problem and reassemble. Also noticed it was well over filled with oil, dispite being done by a local garage about two weeks ago. Ended up taking about two litres out to get to the full line. Also pulled those horrible chrome wheel arch trims off, looks much better! And test fitted some wheels I have lying around
  20. Yep that's it. Rang the local guy that wanted it to fix so he wouldn't bid and that he can buy it off me once I'm done with it. Only really want exhaust and wheels and wee bits and pieces.
  21. Was a good day, brought a replacement e46 for the written off e46. This time a 328i, super tidy! Drives way better than the old one. Brought sight unseen On trademe for 4.4 so was stoked when It showed up on how nice it was. He even delivered it! How's that for service and with a full tank!! Oh and brought the old e46 back for 600 Hopefully can start swapping the bits over I want in the next few weeks if I have time. Became self employed last week and am super busy so will see.
  22. So many options on trademe. Just been looking through for something for myself so surprised they can't find anything
  23. Hmmm, not a bad investment... But I don't think anyone would want to be seen being driven round in it
