  1. What wheels and tyres did you run with them, and did you need spacers?
  2. I was looking at buying one for a while but I will custom make one instead out of alloy because of the confined space.

    E46 330ci Manual

    I used the poly ones from ireland engineering and was a good improvement and no difference in harshness. If you want a hand with the suspension after the lockdoen let me know - I have all the tools.

    Some amazing machining skills there Richard!
  5. The OTR intake is a great idea ?. What merc is the supercharger from? Is it an Eaton 112 or 122 or similar?

  7. The issue is if it strips before the bush moves any further. In that case it wont matter how much threaded rod you have if it keeps stripping at the same point.
  8. Whats your favourite music Glenn? Its ok, you are among friends here.
  9. Sockets would really help, even crappy old ones. Also you wanna make sure the threaded rod is strong as the threads strip really easily. You can use the metal from the first bush you push out to push out the second bush and install the new ones.
  10. Most likely out of my budget, but how much for the s62 without the ergen headers? And what is required to make it a full motor? ie alternator, flywheel, throttlebodies etc? And how many kms on the motor?
  11. White angel eyes, lowered suspension, black grill, tinted lights where legal, would be my picks.
  12. How can you own a charger and not put a 440 in it? So much bragging rights.
  13. I use the Mt Wellington branch, as does Dave. I see there is a Hamilton branch too. As for the front strut mount trick, you dont need new ones, you swap them over from left to right to get extra camber. Extra camber for the front wheels is the best handling improvement for our cars over all the adjustments.
  14. I hate to be 'that guy' but that alignment is pretty damn bad. Check you are not getting camber wear at the rear, cause the toe is way out back there. When you do your rta bushes and limiters you will probably want a new alignment anyway so best to go somewhere different. If you are ever up in Auckland then autolign is awesome - i wont go anywhere else now. Also, Daves tip on swapping the front top hats is a good one, so do that too before you get the alignment sorted. I'm loving the progress though - keep up the great work.
  15. It would likely be pretty rusty underneath though. But, I get your point - I think $52k is too high too.

    Not that I'm aware of. And no, don't use anything else but the bmw blue stuff, and distilled water. Unfortunately you may have to wait until after the lockdown.
  17. 330i rears will give you too much rear bias. I wonder if you could get performance pads for the fronts and that would solve the bias? I'm not an expert though.
  18. Not sure if I missed it but the perfect partner for 330i front brakes on a e36 is e46 325i/328i rear brakes. That gives you the best brake bias, and you dont need to mod for the brake shoes. Done this swap on a mates e36 328i and the 330i e46 fronts and 325i/328i e46 rears made a really good improvement.
  19. Get well soon, and make sure you get the correct battery. Cutting corners on batteries is a false economy.
  20. Likely to be a faulty battery. Have you tried swapping in a know good one?
  21. You could try Brent at BMWorld, Ray at Hellbm, or Nick at Weitz Industries. Failing that try the facebook bmw group
  22. That looks epic. The bigger single looked a bit south Auckland holden commodore.
  23. Yes its a used m62b46. Thank you so much Jon.
  24. Thanks Paul. I was hoping someone on here would know where to look, as I think we have a few BMW employees on here? I think @E30 325i Rag-Top might be in the know?
