When you buy the sway bar, make sure it comes with the bushing mount brackets. The nut is already on the car, just get the correct bolts (which are the ones off the handbrake cable trailing arm clips, which is where the rear links go onto) and buy washers as well for the bolt http://i510.photobucket.com/albums/s349/e3...rs/DSC01650.jpg That was the clearest photo i found when finding out on how to install mine edit: thats not a stock item, but the mounting positions same regardless

can this be caused by the use of crappy brake pads?

ah, so its your car i see on Fridays lol. Pretty clean for street parked

e30 316i weighs 1065kg in manual form, 2 door model. That is with full tank and without special equipment. Got this from BMW Owners Manual. m40 weighs ~80kg's, so you can do the maths and add/subtract whatever you're removing i.e seats, sound deadening, battery relocation etc to get roughly your final weight. Also, don't know if the above figure is for automatic or manual windows and power steering etc. You could always go to a scrap metal yard and weigh it up for a fee Here's someone who's done it: http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....9&hl=incary

Well Done Glenn, i bet the bacon tastes better than before :thumb:

+1 Gavin. He da man BNT, Parts Master, and Segedins Mt Eden for other consumables (oils, cleaners, lubes) I buy engine oil from Repco when on special, and stock up

sweet, finally back on the road. Post a pic of the rear

the new Cherry's, BYD's and Greatwalls are pretty much nicely optioned mid 1990's corolla's, sunny's, civics etc... so not THAT bad for a budget car at that price range. However, i'll choose a Swift over those cars anyday. When i went car shopping for my dad, it was pretty hard, definitely overpriced vehicles and some were snatched up pretty quickly. Ended up settling for a well maintained but rough looking Corolla at a decent price. Don't know if it'll take off like house prices Ray, because aren't they still importing a bunch of post 2000's Jappa imports? edit: i assume we're talking about the 1.3l to 2.1l range that was mentioned in the article, with a price tag around 7k

Happy Birthday! Have a good one

Haha, was listening to my own tunes when i drove past, didn't hear anything lol

Red (calypsorot?) e36 touring on Bibs outside ASB Dominion Rd. Very clean, so has to be a BS members

WOAH nice update, i like your tweeter mounts. Did you screw them on or is it an A pillar replacement item?

Yup, shop around before you buy, do research and get quotes before committing. I'm no expert, but have wasted money before simply by making hasty decisions, and ended up with a bigger bill A good watch: http://www.thatvideomagazine.com/newyork/a...f1a7c73f0587ecc

sweet, sounds good. Hate overpricing, just like everyone out there

what's the quality of the shifter renewal kit? Just same thing cheaper etc?

Glad you got that sorted. Said sticky http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index.php?showtopic=5569

Don't go into their websites either, a detection was made by my Antivirus hahaha

the "SE" side skirts, is that the correct name?

looking good, doesn't the iS' come with sideskirts, or is that an option as well?

keep it as is if its not rubbing, make use of that LSD. edit: forgot to say how much better it suits than the old SSA's, looking forwards to see it when i next visit Repco

Painted my wheels with brake dust, that gunmetal colour looks good on it TBH Nice seeing some bimmers at the HRC open day :thumbsup:

don't have a m20 so not sure for those engines. part number sites all show 80c though, might be the temp sensor as someone suggested in another thread

Isn't there different temperature ratings for thermostats? i.e 88c, 92c
