Or it's painfully slow.

I came from 302rwkw 33 GTR so I think it might be the fact that it's painfully slow!

lol my r32 felt like a rocket when we test drove it. used to it now, no different to the mercer i was driving before.

needs more power, not going for more though, not till it looks how i want it to look.

btw, how did getting those pods off go?

just thought about heating up some wire and going thru the sikashit, but you could cut the pods too

found a dude interested in trading his bmw e36 m3 for my 34 but he wants 4-5K on top...

cons - its smg with 190Ks on the clock

pros - mint condition 98 model full books etc. updated smg. later 3.2l engine not 3.0. sunroof etc

thoughts?

i wouldnt do it, the first smg wasnt very good it got better in the e46 range plus its not going to be as fast as your car now. id save a bit more and go for a e46 m3. plus thats a shitload of km on an engine that im sure has been thrashed. also if you want a e36 m3 id keep looking and go for a manual, there will be less hassles.

Haven't heard from friend yet as the car is at his parents in law now, will ask him and see what's the go.

was at a carpark. Next to me was a Toyota 4wd. Family was getting into the car. Im standing next to my car, getting the feeling that a door is gonna whack into my car.

Kid runs up to his parents 4wd, opens his door and flings it into my car. Doesnt even notice as he tried to climb into the 4wd. His parents already sitting in the car, I shout out to the kid. He says "Sorry" and turns his back to jump into the car. Tell him wtf, and inspect the damage. His parents are still sitting inside the car, dont even lower the window or anything. Just waiting for the kid to hop into the car.

Door opened and hit the side mirror. Didnt leave any mark luckily. Considering how their parents reacted to their kid hitting someones car I doubt they would have been keen on fixing any damage.

If I wasnt there either, they would have driven off without a care in the world.

f**k i hate people

e46 m3 would be a dream but they are double what the e36s are selling for atm. as for Ks im not too fussed, ive read there are e36 m3s with 400Ks+ and still going smooth. it all comes down to maintenance/history

speed wise im not fussed either, i'd rather a more all rounder type car

im not a fan of a clutch hence why im interested in the smg. clutchless manual would be good for me.

i'll keep looking i guess

You got no luck pat. My neighbor even parks in his car spot away to the left so he doesn't accidentally knock his car door into my car (live in apartment so shared secure parking). Also told his gf to be careful too haha. And I always take pics of the Regos of cars that are parked next to me. Expecially if it's a shitbox

if your 100% keen on it and its exactly what you want than by all means go for it but if your not too sure than keep looking, the right one will pop up eventually. its just ive heard the smg's in the e36's werent very good until the e46 range came out. unless his has been overhauled and replaced.

im 100% keen on an m3 coz well yes its exactly what i want. but yeah not this one. might hold out and save up for a e46, i've noticed they are dropping in price so yeah even an smg one would be alright

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
