  1. That's a cheap, nz new manual 325i cab. With relatively low ks.
  2. They're here on a tour of some sort apparently.
  3. Yeah, I know all that Martin, but if you worry about getting the power down with maximum exit corner speed in a family car, you'll have a much bigger problem than wheelspin. Vomit.
  4. I have an open diff and a bit of power, in a daily/ family car, I doubt it's an issue. Wet starts can be a bit annoying, but I'm not convinced an LSD would fix that.
  5. ///Michaels(?) old E36 328i coupe on the NWestern with one rear fog on. On a clear, cloudless night. Turn it off, everyone will think you're gay and advertising for a mate.
  6. I haven't done a PFL, but a FL one is about 10 min and circa $100 second hand. And do the fuel filter.

    FS: E32 740i

    I went to the launch of these, they were $202k.
  8. That's better than what I'd come up with. Can't change it either.
  9. I think that's a bit harsh.What you're suggesting is that if you can't afford a $6k trans rebuild on a $12k car, you shouldn't have it. I will therefore automatically (excuse the pun) discount every auto by that amount and every manual by $1500 for a new clutch. People can wank on about efficiency as much as they want, but cars, if you're an enthusiast, are supposed to be fun and a manual box is more fun. I've had DSG boxes, good autos and manuals, for sloshing about in the city rush hour, I'll have a proper auto, for fun and enjoying a car, a manual. And who cares if it's 0.2l/100km better.
  10. Following an "experiment" on the port on ramp this morning, I wouldn't bother.

  13. Cool Random thought. Do you lose your a/c?
  14. ^^^^^ Plus 1. I had an RS Legacy with factory STi pipes for years and it did sound great. Even when I heard it being driven off, stolen. And the RB has a great burble.

    Dyno Run

    Jesus, at first I thought that was kw, then looked to the side! Good power, good result.
  16. There was a random VT Commodore at the dyno day with a turbo mounted behind the LR wheel.
  17. Is it gone? If not, I'm keen, if gone, no worries.
  18. Fair point, but I'd take a punt on a NZ new manual, just expect to recharge the a/c every 4 years.
  19. Jules, please take this the right way. Will you stop faffing about with pretty bits and bolt the supercharger on?
