polley 916 Report post Posted October 9, 2014 The radiator got slammed into it when I hit the gate. The dizzy showed no external damage. So not sure how it happened 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melowpuf 19 Report post Posted October 9, 2014 You have no idea of Princess' rangi as history.. google Panguru, its where she lived for quite a while.. not surprised at all with the seat mount with all the cuzzies she's hauled round over the Panguru goat track roads.. I think we got her airborne a few times in the paddock.. she was one of the best.. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allanw 1072 Report post Posted October 9, 2014 google Panguru, Haha... we go out there for work - The guy we visit has an electric gate on his garden fence, so horses don't wander off the road, climb over it and eat his garden It's a long way from anywhere. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not even going to ask what you do for work,, it has to be 1 of 2 things if you head to Panguru for work.. I can't think of a better use for princess.. hook some bloody headlights up.. its probably had many a drunken race home from the pub at 1am, with no headlights on driving on the wrong side of the road up in the far north, with 15 drunk hori's in the front, back, boot, roof and still survived.. Polley has his first drive and crashes through a gate hahaha. Top work polley enjoy seeing your progress. Edited October 10, 2014 by melowpuf 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allanw 1072 Report post Posted October 10, 2014 I'm not even going to ask what you do for work,, it has to be 1 of 2 things if you head to Panguru for work.. Nah... prolly not one of them . (I have to be very careful about what I say, when it relates to work though.) I service medical equipment... Genuine, actual, legal, medical equipment, nothing "medicinal" There is a patient in the area with some gear. He's a nice guy too. Always researching stuff and trying things, or making something. Interesting to talk to as well... The gear, and our work van would probably buy a couple of houses out there! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polley 916 Report post Posted October 11, 2014 Some quick repairs after unloading from the trailer and smashing the belt tensioner off - all because I was too lazy to use ramps and thought it would be sweet.. One thing after the other at the moment.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

will 169 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 I had issues with my M60 V8 auto box being stuck in 3rd gear. Turned out to be 1 broken wire in the ecu plug, obviously caused by all the wiggling/fitting of the looms into the e30. Took me about a year to find it! Bstrd !!!!

polley 916 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) I had issues with my M60 V8 auto box being stuck in 3rd gear. Turned out to be 1 broken wire in the ecu plug, obviously caused by all the wiggling/fitting of the looms into the e30. Took me about a year to find it! Bstrd !!!! A year!? I threw the TCU out after 3 days! I couldn't be f**ked as I couldn't find any wiring diagrams that matched my tcu and forgot what year car I had pillaged it from. So I threw the TCU out and wired in this switch that operates the valve body directly... Works mint Just need to add a switch for torque converter lock up. Its only used for burnouts and paddock bashing. It'll prob get a th400 later if this gearbox let's go. Edited October 22, 2014 by polley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

polley 916 Report post Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Alright, princess is for sale, I dont have room or time for her anymore as other projects have taken priority, I would of liked to have super charged her but I just don't have the time. She makes a good paddock basher or skid car, or maybe a daily driver for your partner. Comes without the LSD diff, but I can throw in a welded diff thats in pieces, just needs a new input bearing. Has leather electric, heated E39 seats. good for winter paddock bashing. If you're interested, PM me. Edited December 13, 2014 by polley 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
