do YOU want to deal with pistons making sex to the valves?

holla cuz

500 prob a bit steep to be honest...i sold crank/rods/block/pistons for 500 a while back and whole engine about 1500 from wrecker

mind me askin what ya paid? nice crx.....not sure about d shwartz being a facelift only colour, my old mtech1 was it, and im sure ive seen at least a couple of blackies (tims was) paint looks in good nick

its on trademe now here if it goes it goes, if it doesnt its yours

go the black motorsport pimp

$17.7k is more than anyone would pay on this site. i view m325i's worth as being 10ish give or take a little depending on age/condition. i say this because it really is very similar to a normal e30....just with a kit, LSD, nice seats and a couple of other minor things....not worth the usually ridiculous premium. although apparently they are becoming collectable..they are still relatively common. it sounds mint though. it depends on what you want, if you want a mint collectors item then 10-13k should find you one easily enough. if you want a car to actually drive it can be a lot less....the earlier motorsport models are going for round 6-7k these days, which gives you 10k to play with suspension, fixing bodywork/rust, engine work, whatever your into. they will drive just as well as the later cars too. dont rush into buying an e30, heaps of people do before realising that nice ones really arent that rare, you just need to have patience to look because it can seem like sometimes there arent any

i dont get it.....why do people care what faceless morons on the net think about their car? or in fact anyone at all? be proud of what you have (but not blindly so) and just enjoy your own sh*t

too expensive to make in NZ? haha they really dont look that complicated...im a bit rusty but could probably knock together one....badass carbon fibre option

did you get one? plastic or glass? how much?

just the man i wanted to hear from thats what i thought i should have said, and the point i was trying to get across was hp per PSI of boost.....and being able to run higher amounts of boost due to less detonation. 2.8 turbo would kick ass

before my 4 door i have now.. black motorsport 325i before that... black 4 door 325i primera/holden scum parents car accord before that before a tree hit it (pimp as, had leather!)

iS spoilers are only around 330 from dealer...not cheap but it will fit mint, bend on impact and be in general better quality than a cheap (even then not relatively) knock off shadowline tape can be gotten for v cheap/free, just got to a signwriter and ask for matt black vinyl...although you will need to cut it to size....tape would be handy. before you go spending money on kit n stuff, bear n mind the novelty wears off quick....i would rather a non kitted FL coupe roll caged n scum than my car...but thats just me. look good can be cool sometimes. running the m2 wing without anything on back looks wierd..i tried on my first e30 and it just looks incomplete. good luck finding all the sh*t.

i take it its not mean to be that high? by brake servo do you mean vacuum booster? would love to go for a ride sometime

now i know no one has practical experience, and im not gonna do anything like it anytime soon..but gus is curious would running an m50 turbo give better gains than turbo m20? just wondering because of double the number of valves would prob help for better flow, and another cam to be more accurate? fill me in peoples

m10 turbo would be badass f**k that would be a cool project...so much engine bay room

and.....?

its lower..look at rear valance my old car wasnt on cutties either

400grit, rubbed with a block so you dont get finger indents then 600wet or dry, followed by 800 depending how keen you are. did my spoiler this way, got dan to paint, looks perfect (looked till i dropped it) take your time....we rushed andys kit and it aint too sh*t hot. but it'll do. mike what paint do you use? i got a compressor and wouldnt mind shelling out for decent gun if i could come up with a decent result...although you dont have clear coat do you? although my satin black wouldnt need clearcoat....i love that colour

i dont find 15"s to be that expensive.....170ish......compared to not a helluva lot less for new 14's. plus you can actually buy decent tyres in that size. grip is good sometimes

nothing wrong with being low and certified....hell you can go as low as you want if the setup is stiff enough to keep it off the ground bet you a fiver that car is using standard shocks....i saw a cutties civic today...everytime the car went over a bump 4 heads in the car hit the roof. and this is bumps on the motorway (which is pretty damn smooth). is dumb as sh*t....makes your car handle like sh*t, and damages everything underneath. and it doesnt even look that good to me...so why bother?

awesome. dont imagine london would be a fun place to be living right now

how does having back seats make it any less sporty? evo 8 FQ400....as quick round the top gear track as a murcielago....but has rear seats so obviously cant be a sports car

teg type r? golf GTi? bloody old buggers

cutties are gay there no way those springs are not cut so....
