  1. Just a link from Topgear but a pretty good one imo...love the sound! http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/bmw-m3-...ideo-2011-04-15
  2. Alternator belt should be pretty straight forward with $10 of tools from the warehouse/supercheap. Fairly sure this link should have a how to! http://www.bimmerdiy.com/
  3. Ahhhh, how does it stop your ISP's from knowing what's being downloaded?
  4. From what i can gather, is for every warning you could be fined up to $15000 if proved guilty. And what about downloading through save tube or youtube to mp3 sites...would that be considered the same as downloading through a p2p site or a torrent? Are proxy servers the same as a seedbox?
  5. http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/4887073/...-target-Nat-MPs Surprised this topic hasn't been brought up yet. I'm not really happy about it, not so much for the downloading part but the Govt taking our choice away (remember Egypt a few months back) and.... having to wait 6 months longer for every season of Topgear What do you guys reckon?
  6. But what fun is that!? After playing around with octanes over summer (in the 430 and the 318) I only use 95 now...reason being i get better mileage then 91 and although it costs a few cents more a litre, performance and better economy balance it out. I havn't noticed that 98 has any huge difference in economy so that's why i stick with 95, i'm sure you other guys have other theories...but that's mine
  7. What i have found is when the alternator has gone, usually it will not keep charge esp if you are using the headlights. If it's the battery it will usually need a jump to start but will hold while driving.
  8. Or get some twink My bet would be, most would stuff this up then end up having to use solvents on their tyres to remove it I wouldn't do it, but each too their own!
  9. You'd be best to take it into a garage mate!
  10. Alcohol age dropped to 18 and through added hormones, 14 year olds now have boobs!
  11. I really rate the Pioneer Kevlar series and have used them in several of my cars but have upgraded my e36 to midrange Blaupunkt and they sound really good!
  12. Cheers, I thought it would have been less conspicuous then the random european plates!
  13. How are you boys with the NZ fern ones getting along, much action on the 5.0 front!?
  14. Yep it does, I have 225's on my 9" rims and they only have a very slight stretch! I would have to assume if the suspension is uneven, that someone has tried to knock a spring coil off and took too much or installed them wrong Have you given it a cheeky guard roll?
  15. I had a digital calculator watch that had pole position on it.
  16. ^^^ could be worth a bit, i have the original Donkey Kong (2 screen, DS looking thing) and my mate sent me an e-bay link of one going for $500US ...still sitting in a box at my olds but might get around to listing it
  17. Or take it too an Auto sparky! I had an issue with mine and pulled them all too bits to try and find the cause...turned out i wasn't even in the right ballpark!
  18. We had an Atari 2600 then an Amstrad then thank god for the Amiga 500
  19. It looks good!! Content won't be as big as GT5, Polyphony spent 5 years getting reflections in the door knobs right
  20. Had a couple of RS's, GTs/GTB's version 3 and 4 dubbies and still own a BF wagon but now i have had a couple of Euro's, i will prob stay with them and have a daily/hack. Think i'm over the bolt on hairdryer ricers!?
  21. I think you will find buddy, that just about every piece of technology on any road going car were pretty much developments from F1...even Hondas, whos turbocharged F1 engines were some of the best in the biz and the Vtec was developed for F1 but was sh!thouse! If you are a fan boy of hondas, you are a fan boy! Personally i'm a big Subaru guy and plenty of people dislike them! IMO If we are talking ricers and bang for bucks, i would definitely sway more towards a Nissan RB or CA as opposed to any Vtec Honda!
  22. Yep sad when that is supposed to be the pinnacle of motorsport! Now back to topic, is it just me or does a big bore vtec sound like a sh!t load of bumble bees flew past your front gate?
