  1. Regardless of what he thinks his car is worth.... some of us have also been guilty of sinking monies into a car when we know it won't ever be reclaimed (well, apart from gaining smileage). I would go Liam Neeson on anyone who f*cks with my e30. Here's the local article for anyone that's interested. Saw this car daily, and it is a tidy example of an e30; regardless of "rarity".
  2. i've done the Lotus Exige drive before...... i got a severely heavy instructor who kept telling me to shift before 6000rpm. Don't expect to drive at full speed at all (you can't enter a corner faster than 80km/h). However, well worth it!! (driving lines explained and highlighted). Enjoy the day and the hotlap in the evo, dont bring your helmet as it raises their suspicion
  3. enough torque and everything bends/breaks/cracks agree with what Ron said

    Quick Questions

    was your tank near empty when parked on the slope? also....clean your temp sensor connection, water + electrics ummm :/
  7. ^ agree Jared, I was just hoping it was a NZ made item. The joint between the core and expansion tank broke after one track day on my standard/OEM radiator, so I'm looking for a cost effective/simpler method to upgrade it with a better suited radiator. Thanks for the feedback guys, appreciated as always. I'll pay the store a visit to inspect, but probably will settle for this one.
  8. ah sh*t does this mean I won't have to worry about the voltage issue people have talked about before? because the material's not that pure
  9. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/radiators/auction-694266448.htm Has anyone bought one of these? or have feedback on the quality? Price wise, its good value for $$ (better than getting generic Chinese alloy radiator + fabrication + expansion tank) TIA for any thoughts and advice, cheers
  10. keep tech1 + H&R coz #yoloswag #lowgetsblow #scrapegetsgape can't you just park halfway up the drive all jokes aside, keep it as is

  13. good stuff Julian! Call your certifier and check if you need to re-install Cats. From memory, they will be required if originally fitted to vehicle, or vehicle's post 1990(?).
