  1. There we have it, if you're a girl and cant handle even a 328i manual in traffic, buy a SMG / DCT.

    NZ is quite hard to predict as its quite narrow and where it is things change quickly. But doctors f**k up all the time, at least they get to bury their mistakes. If I make a f**k up, I have to fix it - free of charge.
  3. Is launch control worth having though?
  4. Uhhh, I have launch control in the E30 with a regular old clutch and manual box. Drag racing is boring anyway.
  5. Because getting on and off the clutch so you can creep forwards 3 meters every 30 seconds in stand still traffic gets tiresome and sh*t?

  7. I've used those I joints and double d shafts on my e30. Saves a lot of room for exhaust
  8. Well that would kind of defeat the purpose, that doesnt make it any quicker

    'THE' M3...

    Yes but the m20 is old and uses rockers. With later cam on bucket type setups there is no room for adjusters and so they use shims.

    Yes, solid lifters have to be shimmed. Ticky lifters is just one thing you have to live with when you have solid lifters, obviously they don't self adjust like hydraulic lifters in the m5x engines. They should be quiet after they have been shimmed but the valves will quickly stretch and more carbon on valve seats means clearances will increase and they become ticky again in short time.
  12. Mums sv6 commonwhore f**ked a timing chain in under 80k
  13. I left my stereo in the E30 going at close to full volume for over 6 hours one night, fully didnt expect it to start in the morning but started fine.
  14. Written by f**kwits, for f**kwits.
  15. When I first read this I thought what the f**k is i sapping. Anyway, while the car is running your alternator should be powering anything electrical running in your car - not your battery. Article is a load of sh*t.
  16. Will double check, think I still have some around
  17. I think she was blonde iirc. might of done it.
  18. What the rules say and what the cert issuer says are two different things. (ie, you could prob get away without having cats). Talk to your cert guy.
  19. in piston engined aircraft its pretty much used to control detonation and allows them to run higher power especially for take off and emergency situations.
