$7500 with a new clutch, fuel pump and cam chain can’t be too bad. I’ve heard a clutch is $4k alone.

I know what you mean, but there are still some times it works out. Mate just got quoted $2,760 + GST for parts for a 2013 Volvo, I could land them for $975. Not through You Shop.
-
Used You Shop by NZ Post. Total order, $48, You Shop delivery cost, $38 including GST. Very nearly made it price competitive to buy here l. They state 0-500gm, $13.50, each additional 500gm, $13.50. Further down the state minimum 1kg, my package weight was 150gm. Read the fine print I guess, but never again.

Thanks Will, that did the trick. 2 hours to remove 9 bolts, including digging up my grandfathers 9/16 open ended spanner. Only to find the last bolt has an end missing and simply turns and turns and turns… guess I’ll just have to mask more off.
-
No room either way. Full disclosure, it’s a rowing machine. Tried vice grips. Think the best way is to cut a slot in like Neil suggested. Where do you buy a multi tool?
-
Hmmn. Don’t have a multi tool, hacksaw perhaps. Its only a small bolt.
-
Trying to remove an Allen key bolt. Someone has been at it before and completely rounded the inside of the head. Can’t get anything to hold and the nut won’t loosen on the other end without pressure. Any ideas?
-
Assuming my eye sight hasn’t failed me (again), Pirelli are $238 and Yokohama $178 at Hyper Drive for that size. How cheap do you have to be?
-
Ah yes. Still a no.
-
LHD, no cert (vin decoder says M30), new Headway tyres and $80k. No thanks.
-
In a Z3, there’s only one other person to say “Watch this!” to.

M3LITE. A 320is E30, looked very tidy.

Brent has a bare engine available for like $2.5k? -
I had an S55K for 18 months, was quoted at 4.6s 0-100, Google search says it’s 600kg heavier than this, so yeah, Porsches, whatever. Although it does note traction is an issue.

Needing Tyres for 118d and price comparison including Costco
Palazzo replied to Only118d's topic in Wheels & Tyres
The prices you’ve got aren’t bad when even the Tire Rack has them at $461 nzd each. And the s001 is the only run flat they offer in that size. -
The one on the left is prone to breaking down and giving endless trouble. The one on the right is a bit over powered for everyday use, but will make it more fun.

Is This Where The E30 Market Is Now..?
Palazzo replied to E30 325i Rag-Top's topic in TradeMe discussions
There is a 316i coupe (white) with minor problems for $11k on FB. I get the idea the same thing has happened as you mention above, but if it’s straight, rust free and factory, I’d probably pay it on the basis I was holding it. -
Good luck to him. I did that with a desk years ago and ripped the seat. 🤦♂️
-
As I’m fond of saying when viewing a poor tradesman’s job, that looks like I did it.
-
There’s a kit on Spareto with conversion to single mass as well. Valeo, €442.

It’s the twin to mine, 2 months older and a few more ks. Could be Wills old one? Sales timeline fits, he sold his about 08/09. -

Doesn’t look bad at all. Chuck some decent wheels, a spare boot lip and mtech wheel and it’s fun for not much money. -
After who knows how many years, it's finally $1 reverse
Palazzo replied to Gaz's topic in TradeMe discussions
Disappointed, I thought this would be the 540i “Schnitzer” from Rose City Cars that started at $35k(?).
