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.

I had a 118i for a while. Limited edition model (didn’t leak/use oil and water), I wouldn’t sit in the back of it. I sort of get the attraction, but it’s barely any faster than a manual 328i which is better looking and has a useable boot.

If you’re below 165cm.

^^^^^^ I’ve been wondering the same thing. Nice enough, but meh.

Have you tried Autohaus AZ? Used them for an S55 and they were cheaper. But some amg parts seem to be on a “lockdown” until a certain age.

That could be it. Very close though.

There’s an e36 being wrecked onFB that looks to have the same or very similar colour. I think yours is a fantastic job by the way.
