  1. Would love to see those dyno photos if you can fix them please.
  2. I failed wof on a loose inner tie rod end, so need a replacement. Anyone have one available?
  3. Pretty sure this is for the oil filter housing with the metal cap, and wont fit the oil filter housing with the plastic cap. I found out the hard way that there were two different types.

    $5 parts

    I'll take the under body engine cover and the boot gas struts and the boot spoiler

    Quick rant thread.

    Both went through - in fact there were three tax cuts. Labour did a tax cut in 2008 when they panicked they would lose the election, which National voted in favour of and promised not to undue if they won the election. Then when National became government they put their first tax cut through in 2009, and then the big one in 2010.
  6. Why do these opportunities always arise when I'm broke? Was there any new parts there, like gasket sets, water pumps etc?
  7. Its no suprise they are going under - their parts were way overpriced.
  8. Will e46 wheels work? I have a couple of old e46 wheels and tyres you can use for as long as u want.
  9. Is your current one 3.15? If so, should be a nice upgrade.
  10. How is it different from e85?
  11. I know some of the m62 engines had remote oil filter housings so that would provide you with the housing and hoses, and then you would have to fabricate the block off plate. Hopefully thats helpful. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=DN52-EUR-12-2000-E39-BMW-540i&diagId=11_1591

    M43 engine

    Want to buy a M43B18 engine to replace an overheated one. Has anybody got one?
  13. Makes you wonder why someone would remove the engine and then just sell the car? Could be a good money maker for someone with the cashflow.
  14. Thanks richard - did they put the heads on a flow bench?
  15. What was the cost for porting and polishing the heads, and what is the claimed power gains?
  16. They are a great offset for the e46, but if I had known it was you I was bidding against I would have quit alot earlier. Have you thought about taking the damaged wheel to someone like the magwheelguru in manukau to see what the costs of repair are? That would have been my first move.
  17. Haha, so it was you I was bidding against for those wheels on TM?
  18. Theres a bit of info at the link I've provided, but I agree with Brent. Go for the m30b35, and then see if you want a turbo. b35 has about 60-70 more hp, and alot more torque. http://mywikimotors.com/m30b35/
  19. Yep, manual swap and m60b40 is the easy part and the next logical step. Would love to see it when you get it. If only we lived closer.
  20. Such good progress! Is the e46 you are buying the one with the dry sump? Converting it to m60b40 and manual seems a no brainer.
  21. It was you who recommended him to me originally. Glad you did, as he definitely knows his stuff.?
  22. Coolcar in Manukau was recommended to me when I rebuilt my ac, and they were excellent. There are plenty of cowboys out there.
