I thought you had a project or showroom thread for this? Can't find it.

Love the look on the steelies, should keep it like that, no body kit, plain jane and then scare people. Awesome.

I have seen at least two sets burnt on FB posts, the tail lights at least. It's a shrinking pool of availability.

Don’t most people burn those?

Maybe it’s a Porsche thing. I saw a 924 Turbo pulling a box trailer up the Bombays once at 100k.

That receipt thing does my head in.

I guess if there’s a positive, the police have a place to start with the change of ownership, you have to use an actual licence to change. Whether or not they do anything is another matter.

Wow. Steal it and change the papers. “Nah, it’s mine.” WTF. Will keep an eye out for it.

I think it’s awesome, although don’t see any mention of sub frame strengthening. I don’t remember a s52/54 getting to more than 206kw at Torque Performance and none would have had the torque of this either. Fun car.

$76. Plus $4 admin charge for the online transaction. Should be under $50 by end of month. If she’s going to use it for running around town, you might be better off to go petrol unless you commit to a monthly “hot” run.

A mate bought an Italian scooter end of ‘14, did 5000kms on it. Stopped Nov last year, ignition coil had died according to the dealer who had sold and serviced it. “Can’t get those anymore, it’s scrap, come and get it from our workshop.”

A bit south of Auckland actually. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/whanganui-chronicle/news/toyota-corolla-serviced-in-whanganui-surpasses-two-million-kilometres/65OLV5QLKCI5T3Y3UQEJWWNX74/

I’m sure I’ve seen that around, looks nice, good luck with the sale.

A Prius on the open road would be a close match for the Tiida.

Interesting. Realoem showed the spring pads were the same for e30/36.

My theory is that the spring pads add length to the spring area, but don’t actually affect the physical spring length? If that makes sense. I’ve been told it’s arguable as to whether the rear springs are fully captive, but if they have less physical room due to thicker pads, this should be cured, as in they are held more securely in place? Just trying to get a gauge on if my theory will work or create more issues I’m unaware of. For reference, centre of the rear wheel to top centre of the arch is 270mm, so I can afford to have a bit more height.

Thanks, had a look, three different sizes for the bottom and no size specified for the top. Something to mull over.

Possibly a dumb question, but never looked into this before. If you use thicker spring pads at the rear, (I believe you can use thicker top and bottom?), this will have the same effect as lengthening the spring height? Or am I missing some simple piece of geometry? And if this is the case, what is the standard spring pad thickness on an E30?

Shipping was good and quick, and for rotors, 24kg.

I looked at a dark coloured one (black?) years ago, think you’re right, 1/4. Got scared off by the reputation, can’t remember the list of potential problems, but it wasn’t short or cheap. But as above, you only live once, enjoy.

Assuming it has decent history, I’d go for this. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/x3/listing/3395665885 It’s been on for a while, hit them low.
