  1. Is that all an 87 Corvette is worth? Maybe I'll ditch the E30..... Why don't you get that Nz new 540iT that was on here, 2002? Change some stuff over and voila!
  2. Has anyone got the $ figure to maintain it properly to that mileage?
  3. Something about having to tap into a different part of each car to get an accurate measure and too time consuming. Odd, because I saw a torque graph come up during my run, but first time at a dyno, so who knows?
  4. If they're Michelins on the front, I'd expect Michelins. Otherwise, not sure.
  5. I am corrected. Spoke to my good friend tonight who is relatively experienced with E30's and it is in in fact just a standard E30 spoiler. Looking around some diagrams I have got myself a reasonably good condition rear spoiler (P/N: 1 916 038). Was looking for your Tech 1 spoiler though (P/N: 9 057 958). Thought I had one in the garage, but I have the same bit you have. I think it's actually the bottom part of a Tech 2 spoiler. I have a Tech 1, but it and the rest of the kit are attached to my cabbie.
  6. Forget the steering lock, waste of money, must have delayed the thieves on my Legacy by a good 8-9 seconds and ruined the wheel in the process.. I've had Mongoose, AVS, Alpine and Dynatron, if I had to get another, I'd go Dynatron again. Supposedly, they work better with Japanese cars, Jared on here is an installer, he would have a good idea. I can't remamber his user name though. I have his number, PM me if you want it.
  7. Where are you? Could be keen on roof and pillar trim.
  8. You did come, I saw the car across the road, thought I recognized it.
  9. I bought a 118i for my mother earlier this year, it goes absolutely fine for around town, but I don't think I'd take it on a trip with more than 2 adults, passing would be a chore I suspect. As Paul said, space is down on others (we have a Mazda 3 that would kill it on space and performance), but it drives really nicely, feels like a big car in ride and handling. Haven't heard about chains slipping (maybe Glenn has?), only oil leaks, supposedly preventable by cleaning a valve somewhere and an oil feed pipe, it's mentioned on the forum here somewhere. With the Professional stereo, auto xenons and auto, it's a nice place to be around town.
  10. As the reg is on hold, I'd argue that, it counts as a continuous licence, so can't see why if LTSA recognises it, council doesn't. The wof on the other hand, try a letter, but I don't like your chances. Are you sure a neighbour didn't complain?
  11. Welcome, come down to the Dyno day, should be fun.
  12. Black shoe polish is great on girls white pants, ask my partner. I'm sure RJS did a write up on this somewhere, in a convertible? There's a company in the UK that does complete kits for reasonable $ and I think they have a NZ outlet. Or try this: http://www.pellecare.co.nz/ UK one: http://www.liquidleather.com/
  13. Same thing from "Lyn Burley", must be another stolen id.

    E36

    I bought another car and neglected my E36, naturally it has responded by giving me the first grief in 2.5 years. The battery went flat, I took it out, charged it, put it back in, worked once. Had the AA out today (their battery), they jump started it and checked the load/charging etc which apparently is fine, but he said I need a bigger charger which he is bringing round to charge the battery properly. In the meantime, the abs light is now on and the drivers door window won't go up all the way, it stops about 45mm from fully closed, goes up and down fine apart from that. So, abs light on and window not behaving, any ideas? It's a 328i manual coupe if that makes any difference. Thanks.
  15. fast car new wof short shifter kit rear exhaust boxes removed sounds sweet tv goes when it wants to Great write up. $22k no reserve, now $24k starting bid.
  16. This was for sale at a yard in Hamilton, sold about 6 months ago (hence why the rego and warrant have just expired), their asking price was $11,995 fyi.
  17. China. Canada. Austria. Presumably all worthy of a lol.

    F10 M5

    So then maybe the business is not sustainable?I have no qualms with people making a living or a profit, everyone has to. But in excess of 100% over retail is a joke and I believe some of it at least is due to the dominance of the Euro market in NZ being controlled by one entity. Giltrap didn't get that fat eating takeaway chicken. It's not just BMW, I have a friend who imported an RS5 that saved over $70k and he paid full retail.
  19. Let me rephrase it. "I see you owe $200, would you like to make an arrangement to pay this off now, or shall I come and get your tv/stereo/microwave/boat/car/tractor" etc.
  20. As Nikita says, that's an unusual response, they want you to pay it back as it's usually not worth what you paid for it originally. I have a good friend who does repossessions, his first approach is always a phone call to remind and try to get the payments sorted. Actual repossession is the last straw. They had all of your contact details, go for all of the fees wiped.

    A wholesale and marketing division owned by whom?
  22. I thought Gerry Hodges had one, or is his another limited edition?
