MattA 164 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 Already did... now just hope no-one else wants it...yeah right. Wonder what it'll get to? cheers Matt Does the shotgun rule apply? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 Will be interesting indeed. I like it how everyone goes bidding crazy with 10 days to go. I presume it's their "autobidding" going nuts?? Well Matt, you've called shotgun on it, just remember to relinquish the shotgun to others on here if the bidding gets too high. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30stz 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 yes jeez... why do people do that.. bidding straight up .. the auction doesnt finish for ages.. so why bothered.. your just making it harder (more expensive) for yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DCEIVN 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 (edited) yea... you just drive up the price before the closing minutes. Those who are genuinely interested are online in the closing minutes and likely to get it for much cheaper otherwise EDIT: autobid OK if you cant make the closing minutes obviously Edited May 3, 2006 by DCEIVN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Spargo Report post Posted May 3, 2006 As a student, there are more "economical" ways of getting a 330hp E30. Would be nice if I was sillier with money. I'm interested to see what the market thinks its worth, what would you say Conrad? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
conrod 1 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 (edited) As a student, there are more "economical" ways of getting a 330hp E30. Would be nice if I was sillier with money.I would like to hear of a more economical way of getting 320hp in an E30, reliably! It is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it on the day, you know that, and so does James! I paid $10K for the complete car that I wrecked, so my engine/box owes me about $5 or $6K. I am still interested in hearing why it won't go anywhere for under $10K? Edited May 3, 2006 by conrod Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

conrod 1 Report post Posted May 3, 2006 I found it at Turners DVA, I had been looking for ages and had pretty much given up, and up it popped! I haven't seen one since, so I guess there was a bit of luck involved. I was considering importing a wreck from Japan when I spotted this car. Spargo, still waiting for you to answer my question!

Cheers Wayne Aaahh Wayne, where have I seen that name recently?!!!To answer your question, a spare would be nice in case of a blowup, or maybe to build as a full spec race engine, I don't know. At these sort of numbers I would be silly not to grab it! Edited May 3, 2006 by conrod Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
