That's pretty funny considering nearly every "successful" residential agent in Akld has an E36 or 318 E46. Should be a good upgrade for them.

Yes, the same way your car looks like a 1903 Hupmobile. 4 wheels and a body. Otherwise, not at all.

They're not aerodynamic and that's a 924 Turbo front graft. And it is uuggllyy.

And they fall off.

It is a Tech1 kit. No idea what it's worth, but someone will tell you. I have Tech1 and Tech2 on diff cars and I think I prefer the Tech1. Good luck.

You're probably wasting your time in regards to a credit check if they have no real assets, as you can't chase anything. Can you get a guarantee from parents/relatives/business associates? Have you had a look on the companies office to see if they have been involved in any previously failed or struck off companies? Increase the deposit, 6 months? Bank guarantee? Statement of position from accountant? There are plenty of ways to sort this without much bother.

Must be to settle his new $3.8m apartment.

A BMW ran a red light and then took off from the police, before slamming into an Altezza at a good rate of knots. Looks for all the world like a Delphin Grey M325i, totalled.

Anybody got a sore head and missing a grey M325i?

Would anyone be interested in a set of these? Def BBS, stamped CH004 on the rim. 19's (forgot to check width), with tyres. ET35. Have tyres with reasonable tread. Currently on an E36, but think you would want rolled guards. Part swap with standard coupe/E36 wheels possible. What are they worth?

I have the mirror. It's attached to the car though. Saw one for sale on E30Zone a while back, maybe try there?

"Using an accelerometer based timing device", wonder if he had the machine that went "BING!" as well. If they were that quick, I have been wasting my time looking for a tidy 944 Turbo when I could have spent $8k on a 328i.

Bollocks. A 3 litre M3 was tested at 5.4 to 60, not 62 and you're claiming a 328 is .5 of a second or less slower? I say again, bollocks, as Andrew said, closer to 7 and there's a yawning gap between a sub 6 car and a 7 sec car.

Absolutely not your problem, they "fixed" the problem and didn't do the job properly. You don't pay for incompetence.

Love to get rid of it, but that communist in Wellington is about to introduce emissions testing, remember? Soarer? Doesn't make any difference, it's still a Lexus part and still a 1800% mark up on US retail. Any other bright ideas genius?

Hilarious. Which Corolla has a V8 in it?

Ha! Try a catalytic converter for a Lexus. $3500 + GST + fitting. Or $207 + freight from the US.

306GTi 6spd. Faster than both and better handling.

Cheers, maybe that's better than the wood, as I've had a think and with a flat tyre, a piece of 4x2 ain't gonna cut it. The trouble I had Sunday was with properly inflated tyres.

Hmmmn, maybe wood is the win.

Strangely, I don't drive around with a piece of 4x2 in the boot on the off chance I need to use the jack. Plus, I only discovered the existing one won't work on Sunday and there was no wood handy, (luckily there was a garage lip to drive on, but I can't count on those either), so a decent solution is needed. Scissor jack or Garys trolley if I can find one that small. Cheers.

Sweet, let me know when you find it.

You mean "normal" scissor jack? I have the standard side wind thing and it's a no go. Carrying a trolley jack around seems like a bit too much hard work, not to mention filling the boot. Sounds like Repco it is.

After hitting a rock on Sunday (see Wanted to buy), I decided to jack the car up and check for damage. Then I discovered that I can't actually get the jack (standard) under the car as it's lowered. So the question is, what are other owners of lowered E30's using for a jack? I normally use the car for longish trips, so don't fancy being stuck in the middle of nowhere. Cheers.

Anyone got one for an E30? Hit a large rock on Sunday, no damage (low speed), but reminded me that I meant to get one when I lowered the convertible. Cheers.
