Napier_E36

i doubt that if i had gone that far, i would have a change of heart and just stop and take the blame.... if that happened, i would drive away as fast as my wrecked car could, and then burn it out, and report the car stolen the next morning, denying any knowledge of the night before - tell the cops you were home all night with the mrs or somthing....

haha how much for a burnout???!!! hehe dollar challenge - smoke em up in your driveway and post us a vid of it!!! cheers

would that offer stand to an e36 325i if i were to do what all those (insert word of choice here) do and put an m3 badge on it - even tho it looks nothing like an m3..... haha peopl do that you know....

[rant]public forum guys, i simply expressed an opinion (as people do) I just said that im not a fan of tri spokes - it wasnt a personal dig or anything like that, i hadnt seen any other pics of his honda before, and i was giving him an opinion on it.... as people are inclined to do - look in the rides section of the forums - everyone expresses an opinion of what they like/dont like about someones car - i remember there was an E36 with clear tail lights.... there were pages of responses from people saying they dont like them etc.... Its not like i said "lose the tris or get lost" or anything remotly along those lines, it was well meant constructive criticism that everyone seems to have taken WAY THE f**k WRONG!!!! I voiced my opinion of them in a diplomatic way too - by apologising and then going on to say i didnt like them... And for the record, andrew, this is the first time i have EVER been involved in a dispute over Tri spoke mags - so I dont believe they are being argued over every 10 mins.... I think you are thinking of the old "chrome mags on an BMW", oh sh*t, I HAVE THOSE!!!! Im not going to get rid of them because some people dont like them.... and i wouldnt expect Damien to get rid of his tris because I expressed an opinion. At the end of the day, it is Damiens choice, if he likes them, (which he obviously does) thats cool, no one has the right to tell him to get rid of them. I am sorry that you guys got sooooo cut up over a simple expression of opinion, but at the end of the day, you are not ever going to be able to control what people think/say - thats the whole point of that free speech thing... I also never said anything about my car or anyone elses car being better than his... I feel totally burned by your comments Andrew. I dont like the wheels, nothings going to change that, but as i said somewhere in this rant, if Damien likes them, then thats super - they wouldnt have been my personal choice, thats all im saying.... [/rant]

cheers for all the help/support guys, im detirmined to make it mean! once the front guard is replaced it wont look too bad - mostly the paint at the back makes it look shocking! oh well, sh*t happens eh. those flaired guards look pretty mean. im off to get a quote for the panel and paint now, but ill be holding off till i have the bodykit.

there could be a lot of explaining to do then.... like "ummmmm ummmmm uh yeah how did that get into there???" haha i think id rather have the genuine thing, and instead of disguising it, flaunt it!!! :mosh:

haha so in that case BS and NZBMWCC would HAVE to get along, otherwise you could just bust their ass right off the web (until they can find another web master anyway!) looked like a lot of fun anyway guys

:finger: :finger: :finger: im off to bed now for my 4am wake up call. screw you all with the civil start times on here complaining about it :finger: :finger: :finger:

eeeew tri spokes.... sorry bro, not a fan of them....Cam, that dude has some SERIOUSLY hairy arms haha

it just means yours is a hacked up chop shop bimmer. its going to be even more chop shopped by the time i finally get it back on the road!!!

hey man, happy belated birthday - as everyone would have guessed by now, ive been "pre-occupied" im hoping it was a good night on the piss and a good weekend on the piss.

you dont know how lucky you are man.... 8am starts??? thats easy!!! wish i had to start that late!

snow + BMW = good fun to be had by all!!!! haha last yeah we had a sh*t of a winter and it actually snowed in Napier - had to mission out a bit further to play in decent snow, but it was worth it - my front bumper was acting as a snow plow - it got pretty deep!!! My car did fine on it, the skyline and Evo following me had a bit of a hard time - snow induced powerslides RULE!!! so does watching an evo 2 doing helicopters in the snow! the 325 couldnt do the circles as tightly as a 4wd turbo, but it did some pretty mint figure 8s in the sno!! That 750il Alpina.... DAYUM!!!! i want one!!! I wasnt actually aware that the made those!!! but that is just pure class!!!! Some awsome shots there man!!! :mosh:

youve got it so easy man. I start work at 6am monday to friday. To make that evn harsher, I live 1 hours drive from work so i have to get up at 4am. harsh. wish i had a 9am start....

I notice that people have voted "stolen" - myself included, Im putting it down as stolen because I took it for a test drive with a mate, decided I liked it then talked to my parents about it. Took them for a drive in and they said that they were going to buy it.... looks like i beat them to it....... in the mouth you old buggers!!! hahahahaha

thats an awsome looking enclosure man, but im quite happy with my 2 12s at the moment, how much do you want for the caps?

ive just got an email back - itl be about 2500 for the kit, so whilst im painting it i figure i might as well do the body kit! I am also seriously considering doing a carbon fibre bonnet on the deal - that should be cool - how many of those do you see around? none? yeah thats what i thought - there are certainly none around napier anyway!!! Im in two minds at the moment - do it quick so i can get back to saving my sanity, or take my time and do it mean as, knowing that the longer its off the road, the more i can throw at it!!! I dont want to be taking out loans for it, i hate doing that, so ill just work and pay for it all in cash. When i get the body kit, i will be driving up to auckland to pick it up - stuff getting it couriered, they just dont seem to look after sh*t when its on the courier - look at what hapened to *sic, and when I was getting my 18s, the first set got lost between auckland and here - aparently they ended up in wellington - 3 weeks after the second set were on my car!!! Its driving me nuts not being able to drive it, but i know it will be worth it and i will appreciate it more! I have the new headunit in there, and while its out of order, i think a decent boot install may be called for. At the moment its just a twin sub box housing the 2 pheonix gold 12s. I want to make it into a thing i can be proud of opening the boot to show off!!!

yeah man, i would love to do a wide body, but who does that?? (where i mean) as for door handles, i think i need them to get in and out of the car - i think im a bit big to be climbing thru the windows!!!!

i had a look at N1 kits just before - i quite like one of the body kits there too - might have to buy up large with them i think. The only definite thing is going to be the mirrors - everything else is flexable - even the paint job! but for c. 2500 they have the kit i want (until i spot somthing else that takes my eye!) (ahhhh - gimme that bloody eye back you bastard!) at the moment M3 mirrors for an e36 are $199 for a pair - thats cheaper than buying a second hand factory replacement for the left hand side only! why replace factory stuff with factory stuff when you can put on other stuff (even if they are only replicas) and make the car look even meaner!!! dayum, i should go looking for new toys more often, its cheered me up ten-fold (soooo much more than the half oz did last weekend....)

so heres the plan then - move to some other country for 7 months (to be sure) then move back (with the M3 in tow) and you got your M3 on the road!! SCHAWEEEET!!!!

ive done worse - but not to this car - this car is a lot differnt - i stacked my old pulsar quite badly, but it was a car to me - my bimmer is like an extension to myself - and it sucks when i cant drive it! Ive had a few things go wrong just recently, and i was using the car as a way to stay sane. Well that not work no more - so trying to find other ways! ill manage! I have to pay my insurance premiums and my fuel bill before i can get the car going again, so if you dont see me on here for a while, check the insane asylum!!! it should be going again september at the latest. It will be coming back mean tho - M3 mirrors are definite - snapped my left one off when i hit the bank, but didnt break the mirror or the plastic casing. the front guard makes it look really bad because of the way it got pushed in at the top and bowwed out at the back. The front left door is scratched to sh*t, but fortuntly no dents etc. The back left door has a bit of a ding in it, and the back guard has been pushed in - im expecting 1 - 2g to repair. It will come back meaner than ever - i will definitly be doing M3 mirrors - anyone know where i can get them from? if i can find one (i have seen them on the net, but cant remember where) E46 M3 kit, it will be all silver instead of silver and grey (if i can find an insurance company to cover me) airbag suspension (bout 4g installed) - if not then i will hopefully get cover for coilovers etc etc etc

yeah id hit that!!

Well, its been the hell interesting and depressing 2 weeks - 2 weeks ago, i was on my way up to a mates place in my 325, looked away from the road for a second because i thought there was a car down this huge drop, and wandered over to the side of the road, and whacked a bank. Quite hard. The damage aint bad, considering, but its still enough to be gutting. Im refusing to drive it till its straight - and since i dont want to be claiming on insurance (not bad enough to lose my no claims bonus) it will be a while - insurance premiums due this month and a huge fuel bill etc. Then I got home, and my computer said "uh-uh, screw you, i need a vacation" and blew its ass up! only just got it back 30 mins ago.... Its enough to drive a person to drink/drugs - which i have seen plenty of both - at least i still got my wagon, so i can drive around, but a shitty Toyota Diesel aint the same as a BMW. (fullstop). End of story. (fullstop) Ill post pics when i can be bothered going down to my nanas place and facing it again - too depressing to see it all f**ked up! See on my sig how my back wheels sit in the gueards - i thought it was bad as to have it like that, but it turned out to be a huge hinderince - my back guard got pushed in, theres not much clearance with the back wheel, so not surprisingly, it rubs - we bashed it out with a rubber mallet to get it home.

when i first posted this, it was 30g, 26g makes it an even more attractive propersition!
