  1. Be a prick and do it on a road with heaps of speed bumps, midnight should be quiet enough traffic wise XD
  2. Lol okay, no point in arguing whether the CGA prima facie applies or not. I just hope Julian gets a remedy of some sort.
  3. CGA only applies to a 'consumer good' and is defined in the act. If the product bought isn't a 'consumer good' CGA doesn't apply.
  4. Unfortunately, don't think the courts will see a/m exhaust tips being a goods normally acquired by a "consumer". Sale of Goods Act (s15) his ass
  5. Sweet, just use the spare key and remote when you miss it too much....and don't habitually clean it as well
  6. its only on mobile....i've been seeing the same thing on mine
  7. Here's the original description: My name is shawn prince and i am 23 years old. I was/am building a Mazda miata drift car powered by a small block Chevy 350. I was super excited to start it.... I could not start with exhaust manifolds because they would not fit. I have to make my own.... But aside from that, I mounted in the car, via modified subframe and hooked a hoist on the rear to keep the engine level.... I hooked up all the fuel lines and gave it a go.... Resulted in a horrendous fire where I got 1st and 2nd degree burns all over my left arm and leg...the reason for the fire is ignition timing was off and fuel pressure at the regulator was too high.... I killed fuel and spark and I kept turning the engine over so it would suck the fire back into the engine therefore extinguishing the fire but that didn't work and I did not have a fire extinguisher so I grabbed the hose. He just panicked and jumped the gun with starting it....read somewhere his mechanic teacher/tutor said to keep cranking if a fire started so it gets "sucked back in"
  8. ROTA wheels bring them in (I assume they are Varrstoens?) contact them or Platinum wheels(if you bought from them) to see if they can supply them. Then print stickers etc
  9. fits, yes, worth it? maybe not http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?2046107-Does-anyone-know-anything-about-E90-Drop-Hats-Spring-hats google some more and it'll tell you some had grinding or binding issues etc. (some didn't, but who knows) ~$100 for drop hats, might as well buy springs for all that hassle and do it properly (then add in some extra coin to shortenshocks for moar lowage)
  10. Who's your certifier? I passed my cert with some generic cheaper non-OEM pads, fresh fluid bleed with Motul 5.1 (boiling points worse than Castrol SRF dot 4 from what i've read), and SAFEBRAKE braided lines from Driven Performance

  13. 316i's are magical little cars; rare for a reason no fancy electrics to worry about no sunroof that rusts you'll always know what time it is no windows to fix Easy to service, roomy engine bay and takes great abuse. Because no power
  14. Ring up Hi-Velocity, Torque Performance or NZ Performance Tuning F20 116i's got a turbo rite?
  15. did you find out why the coolant pipe burst in the 1st place?

  19. very Spartan looking, which is a good thing haha any new bushings better than sh*te old rubber, but I tend to find "harder" material annoying as I keep daily driving mine. Don't know if its a sentiment that is shared by the younger members ( Older members has advised against non-rubber bushings, and I reluctantly agree with the "told ya" message).

    Parking wardens

    No idea how legit this is.... 5. Expired pay-and-display receipt If you paid for parking but the receipt fell off the dash or was otherwise obscured, just mail it in and they'll waive the fine "by way of warning". If the parking machine wouldn't accept your payment, that's a valid excuse too. Tell them the exact machine location, and snap a photo of the error message if possible. Finally, there's a 10-minute grace period in the central-city parking zones. www.stuff.co.nz/business/money/9039641/How-to-get-out-of-a-parking-ticket
  21. didnt you own one of these Andy? Cameo by Macklemore.

    Quick Questions

    bypass the heater and wear a coat new one for peace of mind, as 2nd units always carry a risk. Where is the leak actually coming from? Could try a reseal with "diy gaskets"
  23. Hair nets and generic cheapie helmets are supplied. You'll end up wanting more, but it is a service offered to the "joe blog" public after all.
