Palazzo

He has the basket weaves with it for the new owner. The spoiler is ugly, but an easy fix (I have an mtech 1 spare in the garage). When people are asking silly money for 316/318 sedans or coupes, I don’t think his starting price is far off. That’s still a biiiggg gap to the last Mtech2 coupe (genuine not a hashed together copy).

I don’t have my address on for this reason. But, I think this is total bs that they say they can pull you over or ticket you for it. The reasoning in this case is you were away from home. So, if I drive to Wellington to see my dad I can expect to be pulled over for being out of area? A civil liberties lawyer would have a field day if that case ever went to court for anything discovered under the “stop”.

Probably a few days if you factor in no money spent on maintenance. Then again maybe insurance is high as thieves favourite?

Maybe get a Tiida for shopping?

So you’re not allowed to go away from your home address? And he gleaned all of this from running your rego and then a drivers licence check in a private car park?

Yeah, fair point, I guess it’s holding on an actual gear as opposed to the park “lock” shaft in the ZF.

Sorry, I wasn’t very clear, I’m sure it says don’t just leave it in park, but always use the parking brake to hold the car, rather than slapping it in park and using the trans as the brake.

Isn’t this the exact opposite of recommendations for parking with an auto trans, so you don’t rest the weight of the car on a small piece of metal not really designed for the task?

I vaguely remember you saying you preferred ATE brakes over anything else Glenn?

Has anyone brought in brakes (rotors/pads) from the likes of FCP etc and found an answer to shipping costs? Parts are around $430, shipping is $550?

Control arms is a good punt at that mileage. To check at least.

3000mm driveshaft hoop, that’s a big hoop…..taking the roof off?

Actually the Toyota website says 2025, not 12-24 months for BEV and hopefully a hybrid ute, not an EV ute as stated, by end of next year from the NZ CEO.

Manual conversion using Getrag 260 Not my definition of all original.

That is looking so nice.

Last time I went, I spent 20min faffing about to realise I would never get the parts off without the jaws of life. I know what you mean.

M5 BLK? Saw it in Omori about 2 weeks ago being followed by an M4(?)

“Bully RS3 drivers” Hahahahaha! This has become pointless. They are clearly the record holder at the Nurburgring with more rear seat room than a Maybach. The boot is so capacious Mexican drug cartels have started putting a ton of cocaine in the boot for late night border runs as they can outrun a plane. At the start of this thread, I actually quite liked them. Not anymore. Props to Mean and Jacko though, both of your cars will be better for your ownership and good examples.

I got a bike in, but it wasn’t as easy as it could have been. Skis are easy though. Flat pack furniture etc etc, no idea about sedans. Dont get me wrong, I’m not ragging on them, just a little bemused by the level of love.

Is a 130i bigger than a 118i? Did I compare the performance of the two? The e36 coupe boot with folding seats is miles bigger too. Unless you want to carry a fridge, then get a ute.
