    Ah ok maybe that's what he was doing. No I just usually walk up to parts dep (it's usually pretty obvious), tell them I'm after a muffler bearing, wait for them to flounder around on the computer a bit then they go out the back to ask someone else

    I think I have an E28 as the perfect candidate, it only needs a supercharger. It already has a cow catcher / pedestrian catcher.

    Stupid customers. Customer walks in to the workshop past approx 150 welders "are you the welder repair place?" Duh, open your eyes dude you just walked past the sign and made your way through the maze of welders.
  5. Yep, rallying takes balls for sure. Its just that hot lap felt slow, wasnt really scared at any point, maybe the dude was tired or not giving it full jandal. I've been faster / more scared as a passenger in a M52 powered E30 up some back gravel roads. I wouldnt mind been a passenger in a proper rally car one day, i think that would be a proper butthole clenching stuff. I can hardly drive fast on tarmac / track, and I know I definitely don't have the skills or balls to drive fast on the gravel but I have thought about giving some gravel sprints a go in an old shitter. As teenagers we used to burn around old forestry roads in old paddock bashers. I flipped a honda civic hatch back on its roof on the first corner, heh. I've done a few track things, some hill climbs and tarmac sprints in the E30, always found the road based stuff 100x more fun.
  6. I went for a hot lap there in a evo last year, didn't seem that quick. The only part that had my butthole pulsing a bit was coming over the top of the hill and couldn't see where the road was going.

    9/10 cyclists I see are being c**ts, compared to the 1/10 cars I see being c**ts, and there is a lot more cars on the road than cyclists.
  10. I had a friend like that, I stuck it through a 7 wire fence for him.
  11. reach under dash and remove offending buzzer, throw it out the window.
  12. I have a 550 with slight panel damage and one lady owner...
  13. Was the best part of my day when I was working on boats in the pissing down rain and wind in the middle of winter. Used to go and sit in the engine rooms (where it was warm) and eat my pie(s).
  14. I've only had that problem on one ms41.0 which was an older one. Others have been fine.
  15. I have a simota I got from bnt. It keeps the rocks, birds and small infants out.
  16. The water pump is run off the back of the power steering pump? yuck.
  17. I'm after one and a crank sensor
  18. I haven't timed it, but I think for me it would be around 40 seconds incl getting out of bed. Maybe 8 if I sprinted.
  19. A cert is around 400-500 bucks, and saves you a lot of trouble with wofs, cops and insurance.

    They are extending it to bypass Cambridge, and I think Hamilton too. Will be good, keep Aucklanders out when they are on their way to karapiro to be snobs and f**k up the boat ramps.
  21. Auction claims m50 intake, can clearly see has m52 intake from photos
  22. You can buy nolathane round stock and just machine it to the dimensions you need.
  23. Rvf400 is lams. Good luck finding one. Vfr400 isn't, though I've mostly got away riding one for a few years now
