    Quick rant thread.

    As M5VV8 said these are very old DSLAMs called Conklins. Users share the equivalent of a single ADSL connection's bandwidth so at peak times or basically when anyone else who is on that DSLAM is using the net, you have an unusable service. There's a rollout initiative by major vendors (mainly chorus of course) to have rural broadband upgraded within the next 10 years (started in 2013). Ten damn years for a usable service. :/

    Quick rant thread.

    People who swerve into my path (Purposely) whilst I'm lane-splitting to work in the morning on my motorcycle. It's been previously mentioned that kiwi drivers for some reason stick as far right in their lane as possible - usually this leaves me a decent margin to head down the motorway (Generally 40-50kph if traffic stopped, plenty of room for emergency braking if needed, and with people generally not adhering to the indicate for at least 2 seconds before changing lane it is often needed). Some people are lovely and move over when they see me coming..however recently with traffic being worse than usual I've had several people seem to want to take out their frustration by attempting to...well, kill me.
  7. Found some Alloy ones on ebay Australia that were a perfect fit - first set I'd seen online as the Oettinger outside diameter (68.1mm) appears to be very uncommon. Got SJ to whack them on today as they were quite snug - Massive difference, steering is much tighter, no more pulling to the left slightly and no more shaking at 100-110km.
  8. Amber just had this done iirc - See what she has to say
  9. These are the nicest looking cars that BMW makes IMO, such a clean example. GLWS.
  10. Hey guys, The P.O of my Golf lost one of the hubcentric rings, and got a new set made however they're too large and need to be machined down a bit to my Oettinger wheel specs (68mm OD). Anyone know of a shop who will be able to do this for me? Cheers
  11. Hey guys - The lower bushing in my left rear coilover is worn and causing a knocking sound (Isn't affecting handling however). I'd rather not have to pay for a whole new set of coilovers and the car is currently my daily so I'm unable to rip the shock out and have it sent off for a rebuild due to time restraints. Does anyone know a shop or a mechanic (Central Auckland/north shore preferable) who will be able to press out /cut out the bushing and replace it? I've talked to a couple of suspension places who appear apprehensive to do so. Cheers
  12. Thought you did! haha, Yeah, Complete Oettinger kitted and tuned V6 2.8 4motion. Saw you again tonight at the roundabout end of Hurstmere road in Takapuna :>
  13. Just remembered I spotted EUROHO just past Paul matthews drive heading onto constellation a couple of days ago - I was in my Black golf D:
  14. Spotted M3AN today on Northcote road..Almost crashed the company car whilst distracted :>
  15. Hey guys - wanting to clear the space that these are taking up hence the price. Next BMW won't be an e46 and currently driving a VW so no need for them. Bootlid (with spoiler) - $40. Skirts - $40 Pickup north shore. Good as spares - perfect condition (bootlid has 3 tiny (1mm) chips on the back of the spoiler. Cheers, Dion
  16. Possibly the fact that you've somehow done 350000km in a 4 year old car and are still for some reason selling it for 65k..
  17. I had receipts for my set of 18x8 and 18x9 genuine type 2's (e46 offset) totaling $1400, not sure what trademe price etc would be.
  18. Waiting on my track car to sell and I'll get in touch re the golf, those with a magnaflow sound incredible
  19. Why not go for an e90 M3? I love the 135I's myself though - have driven a friend's one a few times and they're a blast.
