latest pics..

seeing as you worked on the car, would you have any pics of the car ? engine bay, turbo setup, manifolds etc?

you can get one from team mc millan bmw in new market for $190 + gst if that helps. did you spray your grill and kidneys yourself? what colour black is it ? satin?

yea sure. why dont u "cruise" up next to it as well and we will take a pic of your "g ride". it will suit your car well..... hahaha :bowdown: "fo shizzel my nizzle" haha i like ur bling wheels btw

btw i was asking about the manifold... i can understand the way turbos work and how they are setup. i wasnt entirely understanding what he said

yea a red one in auckland. i heard second hand aswell. i also heard it was over taking e30 m3's on the back straight of pukekohe

ok thanks i appreciate the advice. when u say a new manifold im guessing a custom exhaust manifold needs to be made so the turbo can be plumbed in to turbo to spin the turbine? correct?. if so how hard is it to make one yourself? or is it best left to the proffessionals? what are we looking at, $600 and upwards for a tuned and fabricated manifold ? and when u say link im guessing the ecu. a few thousand installed?. ive spoken to team mc millan bmw and one of the guys who works on my car has quoted me a few thousands dollars for bits and pieces lol

great thanks, good to kno some1 can read....

lol no, i kno how a turbo works. i was just checking out the stats to see if its worth it or not. no not just bolt it on.... that would be pointless. im looking for a kit . so u dont kno of any?

does anyone have any ideas on a ideal turbo for my car? e30 318is. ive been looking around on the net but cant find any kits that suit my car. only e36 turbo kits or e30 325i kits. And what boost pressure would be realistic? 5 to 15 psi?. the m42 has forged crank and con rods (correct me if im wrong). so i could squeze a little more boost out of it on stock internals or is it just a matter of when the weakest links blows up?. any suggestions / ideas would be great. thanks

and on the gear stick. the numbers have M stripes next to them

Good idea....but (looking at the photo) I think you need a few more mates for that to be truly effective.... yea ill be sure to get all of them.... when i take the pictures of our cars. 323i, skyline r32, gts-t, 2 turbo rovers, 1970's holden, a lancer and a nissan pickup. owned. use ur eyes next time and read the first post

cheers, thanks for you comments i backed up to that cefiro lol and its my m8s, we box in all of our cars usually so they cant be nicked

lol no different person, your thinking of that girl you spoke to once? my cousin.... i bought the car of her last year

haha ok, yea its nearly mint condition to. im in 6th form lol. u must have taken the photos when i was in school

yea ill bring her down to the photo shoot if i get there. nothing much to see just a 12 inch sub on the back seat , boot rattles to much. i guess i should take it out

well i thought id do a proper post

another..

Finally, i have some pics of my car. thanks to Spargo spotting it on the street lol. its a 1990 318is with 147,000 k's.

dude thats my red 318is, when did u take the pics?

quite a nice car i saw it the other day. is it supposed make a high pitched squealing sound??

awesome sounds good, post update pics! lol

ok, hey brent say if you were to sell it with the manual kit in it? what would you sell it for or what do you think would be a reasonable price for it? if you dont mind me asking?

awesome, thanks for that

would some1 mind telling me the difference? lol is it the year or something ?, i have a e30 318is 1990. would it be face lift or pre face lift? cheers
