Palazzo

Most chicks used to love it (it's been in the garage for years), guys used to hate being passed by it. As soon as I tell a chick I have it, they want to go for a ride. I think it's the age/shape (of the car, not the driver), as opposed to an E36, but who knows?

^^^^^^ That's the one I meant.

There's another one asking $6k on TM, I thought about replacing the E30 with one, then thought why?

Got it sorted at Manukau, Takanini a touch too far south. Cheers.

Delicious bit of irony. A/c belt arrived, no serpentine belts in country. Might be looking for a BnT in Manukau.

I thought it was horrific considering US "how to" web sites were quoting like $18.

I'm sure you all know what Repco stands for, but I had an outstanding example today. The a/c drive belt broke on our Mazda 3, called Repco, $132. Called South Auckland Motors, (Ford/Mazda dealers), $35. Then decided I needed the much larger serpentine belt as well, they felt sorry for me because they weren't in stock, got both belts for $65, in tomorrow. On the off chance that anyone else has a Mazda or Ford (unlikely) that our sponsors don't want to deal with, they have been excellent to deal with (in my whole two experiences). By comparison, I can't drive past John Andrew fast enough.

Mine has had the M325i with black leather interior and no a/c while pregnant and with baby, then the 328i coupe with toddler and now a Mazda 3, all manual, she would rather drive than walk.

There are plenty of auto 318i's clogging the passing lane already, just get one of them, even if they aren't in that eye watering colour.

I'll take it if still available

No kindle, can't understand the attraction. The original Stig had an amusing book, but I just finished Mike Tyson's autobiography, which was really interesting to me as a Tyson fan. The guy is a wreck. I love books, have since I was a kid reading Charlottes web at age 6.

Just finished at St Luke's. Imagine my delight to see 2 sets of traffic lights go out as I left. Bahahaha!

Then you'll love this, I can't believe nobody has put the police to the sword over it. Read the danger spots at the bottom, then read the radar spots. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11168484

Ours stranded us once in 70,000km (from 260-330km), fuel pump, in the garage at home. New one and away it went.

My cousin in Oz is a pursuit cop, they use manual FPV F6s and love them. XR6 Turbos in the city I think.

An Eco boost Falcon is tested at 6.8 for 0-100, an E39 540i at 6.4, better hope they don't get a good start.Power and torque are supposedly identical for the 528i too. I can't see why it shouldn't be reliable.

It is a CVT, not an auto. Would explain the perceived lack of performance too, they never seem to deliver.

I think it's a huge shame. I love my Turbo Falcon and think it's massive value for money, for what I wanted it for a, V8 Commodore was also on the list. Having driven it for a while now, why anyone would rather drive a slow, roly poly SUV is beyond me.

Were they the wrong length for your cab?

On the off chance that somebody might be interested, I have a couple of cars for sale. One belongs to a mate who has bought a new GTi Golf and the other is my mothers car, she now has a 1 series. Neither of them are particularly interested in dealing with TM, so it's my job. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/audi/a4/auction-664666160.htm http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/toyota/supra/auction-665298240.htm Let me know if you have any questions.

I have a Tech 1 on my cab, I'm pretty sure I'm right. Good luck.

Cabriolet Due to the deeper sills of the Cabriolet model, the front wings are incompatible with the other E30 body styles. Cabriolet wings have a longer section at the bottom to match the sill, so a standard wing will be too short. However, it is possible to weld the extra section on to standard front wings if needed. Fortunately, pre- and facelift cabriolet wings are the same so if you're trying to source a replacement, they'll be a little easier to find

I think it's a Zender kit. The cabs have deeper sills, so I doubt a standard Mtech 1 kit would fit. PM me your email if you want and I'll email you photos of mine for reference.
