    Southerner ... see if you can find a whole 525e motor..there was one cheap on trademe in the south island awhile back, then you can use the entire bottom end block rods pistons..then just slap a 885(325i) head or 323 head and you have a 2.7.. 325i heads flow best... 323i have a better cam I THINK

    the 525e/325i head combo is tried and tested. it's also what BMW S.A. used in their 325is (factory M3 5 stud hubs and 2.7L engine)

    get learners, wait 6 months/1 year or whatever it is so you can avoid paying for the 2 day course, aquire suitable truck and goto a VTNZ station an take them for a drive, thats how a guy at work did it, seen the endorsement on his licence and everything. always thought you had to go thru mainland driving or similar but i was proven wrong...im still rocking class 2 learners, so im just going on what i was told

    Are any of you locals in the business of car painting light panel beating or know of someone...???

    I have a 80's BMW so...naturally it's begining rust (no huge holes that ive found/its had a previous round of car chemo) and the paint is fucked and since its been out in the weather for afew months so is gonna need some TLC soon

    I just want a quote so I know what i'm in for then it'll be all go once money has been saved...can't afford a conventional "thru the books" paint and panel/it's not worth it, and im not after a show finish, just something tidy and respectable.....so you know what im saying!!

    I can do the following for payment CASH, Fruit and veges(dont laugh, that shits expensive haha!! :lol: ) aaand alcohol of course...no man love moments sorry!

    Thats my life story, hopefully someone can help :D

    unsure about the diff.. I paid thru the nose to buy a rebuilt one off someone moving to aussie and just whacked it in haha.. if you do get it out to be done add some shims or whatever. mines factory spec...and it wouldnt hurt to have it tighter, it'd still be civil after tightening.

    the LSD units wear out pre maturely if you run the wrong diff oil. has to be certain grade...and LSD oil obviously. Ive got redline shockproof and its the right velocity once warmed up but the right grade ELF stuff is also reccomended

    it's not a motorsport(M325i). Motorsports have black headliner, mtec kit, and factory recaros and they never came auto. and they're worth upwards for 7k usually for a rough one...your doesnt have any of that. if you spin one wheel and the other doesnt go with it chances are it isin't a lsd or the lsd is fucked

    Check the sunroof cradle for rust and the boot under the battery tray and the same place on opposite side. and the sills...especially at the back guards and front near the subframe mounts.

    m20's are great motors...can throw endless abuse at them...mine has 300 000kms and I give it no mercy and it has never failed on me

    Handbrake gator, side mouldings, and FUGLY E46 M3 side/fender kideys are all knock off shit from the shengwah province of china probably.

    Will add more if I think of it.

    They benifit from new shock new springs and all new bushes...fun cars when theyre freshened up!! and can be tail happy when needed :D

    Oversize item transporters (i.e engines)

    DONT go with latefreight (strait freight) they come into work everyday and we claim alot of damaged shit off them each month...which then turns into an exersize cause every other person is claiming damaged goods and they dont want to pay out. if it's not the drivers its the loaders

    PBT = Please break this apparently

    Freightlines loaders for the CHCH Line haul truck are fucking monkeys at the moment(last 6 months) so i'd assume they're the same loaders for the Auckland truck. they load the trucks back to front which causes issues unloading and they also stack like morons and strop shit down anyway possible...so long as it's wrong and damaging something

    I've used streamline. Auckland to my door(Rolleston 15mins outta chch) engine on pallet $90

    Never delt with Mainfreight but they seem to have an OK rep.

    Weatheralls seem ok... i think they're just chilled transport though
