But it made it back to wellington, never missed a beat. front shocks leave a wee bit to be desired, and for some reason when cruising along at 50km/h or so regardless of gear its a bit jerky, no idea why as i havent come across that before, but will research it when i have some time.

That's crazy low Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk No, that SI thing must be programmed to come on at 130k because it wasnt on when i left. But at the age and known problems with the batteries in them, i would never rely on the E30 SI indicators anyways Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it wasnt on when i left or any time since i reset it 3 months ago or so. but has come on since hitting 130,000. dont even know how it knows the cluster at 130k though, i dont recall any linkage between the SI board and the cogs, but it is what it is.

Not 100 percent sure but its a time based thing,i think its independent of the inspection-Oil-inspection-oil,etc,my e 34 had it too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted April 23, 2014 Finally cracked a 1/4 mile time of 13.9 @ 98 mph in the V8 E36! Also did 11 other runs ranging between 97-99 mph; 14.005... 14.041... 14.046... 14.086... 14.093... 14.187... 14.188... 14.194... 14.210... 14.473... 14.485... Then I got bored... Clearly I need more power & torque to push on into the low-mid 13s! Video of the 13.9 sec run... I was somewhat joyful upon reading my slip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atlantiskiwi 73 Report post Posted April 27, 2014 Spent 10hrs on a 4 stage cut and polish (yet to wax) on the bonnet, roof and front guards. Haven't even touched the doors and bumpers! Photos are kind of avg. hard to show how much I brought the paint back. I didn't actually cut it to hard...just worked over it really slowly. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sonic_attack 89 Report post Posted April 29, 2014 German plate from Germanplates.com. Not convinced of the plate surround. Might look at stiffening it all up over the weekend with some super aggressive velcro type product I have kicking around. Be my luck the front falls off and goes flying into the opposite lane on the Mway. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
