nz320i

Damm that is soooo badass

i want

the bolt ons look evil on a bmw

I reckon he should put some mongrel old school bbs wheels on it and paint them black..It would be bandit as

:bowdown:

that pic is so cool

GAC is on Opawa Road (12A I think). When your heading from the town side its on the right hand side just before the lights across the road from Opawa Motors.

I was there on Friday for the first time and the guy seemed really onto it, never had any work done there though

Haing never had a BMW cambelt done before that seems really cheap

awesome thanks a lot,

i have been tryingt o get in there for a long time now i really want to chat to them about manual and new engine!

Cheers!

ohh i want that gearbox so bad waiting till next year i think and will do the big conversion.

I just want to strip the car and put a manual in it and have a weekend race/street type car!

Would be so much fun

Car has 184kms and is auto

i should have done the cam belt?? and have been quoted $180

thanks

Oh and where exactly in CHCH is GAC motor sport ?

Manual swap, I'm considering losing the m20b20 engine and putting in an m50 then mounting the m20 tranny into the m50... Just seems so much more worth it aye

Jonty's persuaded me through pics alone....

May have to sell the BBS's or use them as burnout wheels due to they don't fit over my front brakes (which is odd - considering they came off your 320i) - they looked good on the 318i.

ahh i see,

got the wrong person,

So do you know where i can get a gearbox from and who can fit it for cheap in CHCH plzzzzz lol i am sooo sick of the automatic!!

Cheers

Oh and the brakes is strange i think my car has had a few odd things done to it before i bought it..

Such a nice white 320, did u paint the sides, nice little touch..

Should be doing that soon, ive got a bit of work to do before new years comes...

Looks mint :love:

:thumb:

yeup the sides have been done when the car was resprayed , which was before i bought it so dont know much of the history on it.

Looking good. BS stickers rule

But, you need to get some BMW logos for those Fiaranos.

How low is it, its not cutties i hope...

hey ,

noo not cutties!

but almost as bad compressed so am on the lookout for proper springs needs money spent on the engine at the mo so in a wee while ill be doing suspension.

Id say right on 100mm as i was told it would be legal with the 17's

And yes it does need bmw logos on the rims!

haha man some people have had some beemers!

From now

88 Facelift 320i (will never change from bmw's!!)

82 Starlet (in the pic- got written off by the guy who bought it)

85 civic

81 Diahatsu parts car for my 82 Daihatsu 3 cylinders!

clear side reapeters, for e36

got for my 30 thinking i might be able to get them to fit but are way smaller.

$35 including postage

Cheers

looks mint, personally i woulda stuck it top middle rear windscreen but all good.

cheers yeah same, but i have a sticker already on the back window and it would be too messy as im fussy haha

was it you whos doing a manual conversion and bought my old bbs wheels? hows the manual going?

its an open public forum, who wouldnt bag someone's dream ride just because they can make some outraggist dumb comment without identifcation.

yeah so true lol

So what did you own before the Bimmer?

I had an old school Starlet '82 rwd model...

hey hey

Was having a look at rate my ride, every cool car and some of the cars i have seen, have some wanker telling the owner it looks photoshoped!

Whats the deal?!

My car isnt on there dont know if i should lol

Whatdaya reckon everyone tell us your views on that website

hey just put some bimmersport stickers on dam they hard to do!

and got a digital camera in the weekend so thought id take a pic of it now

Cheers

Springs are around $300-400 depending what you buy. heaps of people are using jamex or king but I have whiteline. Would you fit them yourself? Pretty easy job, just don't forget to get a wheel alignment afterwards.

i see.. would it be as low as it is now? i like the ride height just needs stiffened up

thanks

yes would do myself

ye mayn i like the look of white e30's.. hows it lowered?

hey thanks man i like your car heaps! umm i think its got compressed which sucks but was lowered when i bought it , im looking at putting some stiffer springs in it as gets body roll a lil but and new shocks. ne idea of a cost 4 this??

Dude where can i buy those tail lights i want some!

cheers

mmmm mines about as low if not lower and i needed no cert, even and vtnz. wierd......

Ohh dude na youve got me all wrong lol i wouldnt waste the money , but it was done when i bought it was like a added bonus lol!

where can i get those e30 tail lights? do they come smoked? thanks

Hey,

Be lazy like me and leave the ambers on the back. Half the people dont even notice.. haha If you got 200 to burn, do it.

hey just saw your car in your profile lol thats such a sick text beside it insurance companies are so annoying like that! nice ride any way e36 coupes are my favourite maybe in a manual 6 though.. how much did you pay for it ? looks mint

When i bought it , it was already certed just for the mags and lowering, but its helpfull when your pulled over without a warrant

hmm, i bought mine for 2200, then 40 to tow it lol

2000 for autotek in chch to put another auto in it (ashamed at this couldve put manual in!!)

2000 for my wheels

600 for chch bmw to do various things man i got ripped off can do half of that stuff myself now!

soo... 6840 for me without running costs ekkk!!

Last two weeks of the school holidays I moved furniture at NZ Van Lines, to maintain the cars. Such a sh*t job, made me appreciate how good school is lol. Enjoying it while it lasts.

f**ksake, non of the vans had em, and half the driveways in Wellington snake up a hill, making it impossible to get an open wheeler up in the wet = carrying sh*t like fridges down driveways

they get no traction in the wet aye awful things
