  1. Do what you want, just don't butcher the car. Silicone and holes in places where there aren't suppose to be can be very annoying when the next owner tyres to reverse your work :)

    Cheers bro. And i hear what your saying there ! Will keep that in mind for sure


  2. Window tints are going in on Friday 03rd May @ car foile - carbon supreme B)

    I put in instrument cluster rings on the speedo

    Leather gaiter on the handbrake.

    ^ have one for the 5 speed when conversion is done.

    I ordered some brembo brake ... caliper covers. They silicone over your exisiting calipers. Attatched a pic of them on my bro in laws 328i e30.

    Tax refund due mid June. Its enough for a set of brand new tyres for my bbs :)

    I want to wire in some footwell lights like Lucan did for LPC, wired into interior lights in roof so the footwell lights turn on when the doors open :)

    Sorry for the slow progress guys ! Will get better soon. I am getting my licence back in just under 2 weeks!!

  3. Hi Everyone

    I am new to the forum, I have a kiwi new 88 325i manual sedan. Starting to think about doing a few upgrades, currently factory standard. Would like to find an LSD, and possibly new interior. If you don't sell the interior to the guy who asked re the price, I could be interested too.

    Thanks very much

    Go hard mate; dont have the funds atm. If you miss out on these you could buy my full blue set of leather recaros


  4. Going up north this weekend,

    So will be doing a few lil things the following weekend.

    Have ordered leather handbrake gaiters and one for the shifter when i finally get it installed.

    Putting in matte chrome cluster rings, possibly plasti dipping the 325i badge.

    I am currently ordering some corner tweeters which are part of the premium speakers i think that sit behind the wing mirrors inside.

    I am unsure weather i order premium black rear speakers of ebay as there are heaps for sale but i think il get 6x9 soundstreams at a later date.

    I will be getting a window wiper :P and hopefully another plastic cover for centre of lower apron.

    Thats all the little bits atm i can think of which is in the near future to do list.

    Will update at a later date.


  5. Dude hit up your local wrecker, theyre a pretty universal fit.

    I just took in my drivers side one and made sure the bolt whole was the same and tickety boo $20 and 5mins scavenging through a bucket ranging from e21-e46

    Cheers for that bro. Il go see ray or pick a part :)


  6. ^ you can get any style from the germanplates website.

    do note that NONE of these are "LEGAL"

    however the plain white background with "NZ" and the fern in black or blue do go "under the radar" of nz police so typically you should be okay.

    i guess it goes without saying that andy does not take any responsibility if you choose to put black on white plates or any other variation (including the standard issue esque one) and you may face a fine of $200 as far as i know.

    also pays to check your letter/number combination on the germanplate website as ive noticed that some of the letters are quite similar to nz standard issue plates but some are VERY different. like "i" and "j" and "l"..

    thanks again andy for running this again, if i can round up some spare cash would be keen on a couple sets myself.

    cheers

    I know that hes not responsible. I want a set for my room haha im getting euro p plates anyway im just paying them off kuz i dont really need them haha.


  7. Hey guys i bought 3 of these by mistake on ebay.

    One is on my car,

    And another bimmersport member bought the second.

    I have one left

    These are amazing quality and leaves you the choice of swapping between chrome and black grilles or if you just want black at least the paint wont chip off.

    These look pretty good in my opinion, i know alot of others may/may not agree but its personal choice.

    Not looking to rip anyone off.

    I bought these for $40 and all im looking for is my $40 back pickups, or else i can post at buyers expense.

    These are selling (well idk if theyre actually selling) on trademe for $100 ish bucks.

    Dont get ripped off, heres your chance to buy a cheap one thats already landed in country.

    Grille is at my house on hibiscus coast for pick up

    Cheers

  8. Hello guys,

    Decided to do something productive on my sunday.

    SHADOWLINING

    I used 3m matt black vinyl wrap which i got off trademe.

    Wasnt as difficult as i thought it would be and for my first time i think i did a rather okay job of it.

    I bought a euro licence plate filler and put that on.

    I also replaced my fog lights with new bulbs.

    If anyone want to buy some 3m wrap i have 1 brand new roll left.

    I also have one black grille for e30 for sale if anyones interested.

    Not sure weather i want racks on or off.

    Window tints are booked for 3rd of May

    I need to take things step by step so that progression can be made.

    There are so many things i want to do but im not really focusing on what i need to do first.

    I think next week i will be getting a sump guard so that i dont bottom out my sump when i lower the car eventually.

    After that i think i will be building the 4.1 lsd

    Will be getting some gaiters for my handbrake and when i do the manual conversion.

    Then after little stuff i have to nail one thing at a time.

    Suspension, rims painted and wrapped in rubber, manual conversion, rust cut out and colour code bumpers,

    And then little things like euro tip exhaust, illuminated shift knob, ecu chip and tune etc...

  9. Im after an E30, all models (318,320,325) welcome.

    Price limit is $6,000, i know its not much but limited as a student.

    Must be manual, and prefereably in the Auckland region so i can view/test drive

    and get a precheck done.

    Must be road worthy (certed/rego/wof)

    If any one wants to sell or knows of anyone keen to sell please let me know!

    Could try this tech II 325i easy to convert to manual and a good start point.

    Not worth 7k imo

    And ditch that horrible m badge on boot

  10. Lesson learned. Seller not willing to do anything, was "unsure" if it was limited slip or not, although I recall a different tone to the conversation it's my word against his :(

    Lesson #1: NEVER buy parts unless you either know the seller is informed & legit

    Lesson #2: If someone offers you an LSD for $70, it's probably not LSD.

    Dumb me (sorry for the thread jacking OP)

    Been interesting reading this dude. Why dont you buy the LS inners like me and use this casing. Could be a good little project mate


  11. Wouldn't have bothered buying it if it wasn't.

    Pulled the cover off this afternoon to discover.......

    Only reason I bought it was for the LS carrier. really disappointed, the seller was a member on here. Will get in touch with him and find out what the story is before I start making any loud noises.

    Sucks :(

    Bro that sucks. If they sold it to you saying it was LS then they should defs refund you.
