yeah or noodle canteen? Whatever people are keen for on the night I guess! -
Hey all. Palmy plaza carpark meet 7pm. Noodle canteen for a change? Meet at; The lower undercover park at the plaza at 7:00pm We run this similar to the Auckland meet, which does really well. We'll check out some cars, and walk straight over the road for some takeaways about 7:30ish - Just a note, feel free to invite other cars/people along, but you will be responsible for them! Please leave no rubbish and no skids/rowdy driving in the carpark - We've been given permission from the Plaza to use this, and we don't want to loose it. We have a rain free car park, and the barrier arms go up shortly after we arrive, meaning no parking fees. Grab a camera, and we'll seeya there!

The radiator in this thing was looking pretty worse for wear, and couldn't recore it due to being plastic tanked. Cam and I looked for ahges trying to find a replacement in something slightly bigger, basically for future proofing. Nothing was the right sizes, as it's a bit odd, and the bottom tank has two little feet that sit down the bottom. Managed to find a standard replacement, but even that was wrong due to a wrong outlet. It seems that theres quite a bit of different on the faceleft models (1980-82), even radiators are different. Managed to score a radiator off the same car that I nicked the weber off, and the core looked pretty good in the car, once out though, and looking at the fins on the front side of the car, it looked a bit knackered. No biggie. The tanks were bronze, so I could get this recored. That's what I thought. Seemed some dude had gone to a shitload of trouble to repair a standard plastic tanked radiator, left the standard bottom plastic tank, and got a bronze one on the top. Aaarrghh. One option was to try and find a standard 323i one as theres a little panel that can be pulled out and the radiator sits forward. I didn't really want to do this though, was quite keen on leaving it as it came. After scrawling through old threads on here, and recommendations from Richy/Sheepers, I gave a call to 'Real Deal Radiators'. These guys were super G.Cs, and made me a super choice radiator that's wider and thicker than standard in alloy for cheaper than what I got quoted for a new bronze bottom tank and recore for the above mentioned radiator. Dave and Mark were fantastic to deal with. I really gave them a hard time as far as stupid measurements, last minute changes, and pressure to get it done asap. Can't recommend them enough. Heres the pretty looking thing, just need to make the rest of the engine bay looking as shazaam now.

I have no idea what I'm looking at with bike bits, but can go take photos if you like. Can probably rope Cam into the mix for X-pert advice. -
