  1. Probably way cheaper to use Spareto. FCP aren't aren't cheap these days with the USD and postage prices.

    Quick rant thread.

    At least you can generally predict those types. Some 50-60 year old woman decided it was a good idea change lanes mid roundabout and smacked into my friends E36 i was driving. She so was clueless that she thought i had hit her initially, but luckily a witness stopped. Probably a write-off now and you cant exactly go out a buy a tidy 318is with 120,000 on the clock.

    But if you they were selling it they'd want $40

    "Will you take *insert lowball offer on already low price"
  5. Well respected\popular brand in the US but not cheap. Never used any of their kit so dont know much more than that.
  6. Are you meaning actual kits ie UCC evo? or just the short shift gear lever by itself?
  7. Yeah ill have look what i did and get back to you if i need it.
  8. So the two rubber pieces are basically in the same hole?
  9. Really comes down to how the line is bent i think. Not so bad if you wanted to replace the dash anyway. Trying to think if mine had 2 grommet on it, i don't recall any holes. Yeah you can get the RHD pedal rubbers from the dealership for a reasonable price if you don't mind waiting 2 weeks. Schmeidmann have them also.
  10. Japanese imports dont live long enough to get worn out or get stone chips.

    Meyle HD front control arm bushings. Near new, were pressed out of brackets for Z4M ones. $30
  12. Guessing you paying a big premium for build year, spec and k's. Doesn't seem like a car that would sell easy.

    Shkoda

    bmwfans.info is better but yeah that's half the reason i stick with BMW, nothing ive used beats them in that area.
  14. Haha, i predict one being installed in the future. I love my helical
  15. I may of missed it but what diff ratio are you running, guessing LSD?
  16. Id help if out if i could remember exactly what i used but https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/tools-repair-kits/repair-kits/listing/3809340010 is a good investment

    Maybe both?. Id certainly put Meyle HD and Lemforder ahead of TRW for arms. Im running Meyle HD as they have replaceable ball joints.

    New M2

    Rear looks looks terrible from that default angle. If you cut the car in half and told me it was the latest Nissan Maxima id believe you.

    What brand control arm?
  20. Price at the moment seems reasonable to me for what looks like a tidy facelift. Not a factory manual but may not be an issue for some.

  22. Perfect example of cost cutting
  23. Every Tapley meter ive seen used in NZ is put on the passenger floor (weighted base) and the 30kph test carried out by the tester. Certainly doesn't require 2 people and using it to test a handbrake is not strictly required - inspectors call on what test they use, the above examples are what we'd use as its better and safer on a range of vehicles. Id say they just wanted to drive your car, but i dont like dealerships for anything other than parts so im probably baised.
  24. When stationary it should hold the vehicle with a small amount throttle applied. Should be even tension on both sides ie doesn't drop to one side when pulling the handbrake or applying throttle.
