should be the offical sauwa mascot car, ahahah i love it, i got 50m 100mm pin striping, im sure we could wack some gt stripes on it hahaha, chrome paint the dubs, a shopping list, and a drift wing up on the roof ahahha should make it pull high 10's :D

bunkys are the shizle though, i had a performance bunky i had one of those really old toyota celicas ages ago, and while i was inside watching tele at a mates house they drcuded to sneak out and have some fun, they gave it 2 crooked as fudg racing stripes, painted the rims and wall of the tyre red and white, wrote 05 over it everywere, including my name on the boot ahah i walked outside after about 30mins to find my car totaly bombed up, not with tape, all spraycans, ahahah was a good laugh, ahhh how i miss her now :)

now thats a beast hahaha

gotta love bunkys and being able to go to the shops and dont bother winding up windows or locking it or bugger all haha

the joys, go over speed humps at 100kmh, over large curbs, drifting into curbs and laughing when ya hit it haha, bent plenty of axles in my old bunkys :) cost like $50 for a complete engine, and f**kin other parts people give away, and u can park it in some dodgy train station carpark or whatever and dont give a shit about whether its there when u get back :)

those where the days :)

Haha yeah the main reason I bought a N/A 33, at least 400kms per tank. Also got an R31 Pintara, must be 550ks per tank.

EDIT: Which reminds me, Pintara is for sale. Slow but looks fully sick uleh! PM for pics if anyone wants to know more.

just picked up my new car, bit of an upgrade from the R33

it pulls a scary 51 flywheel kilowatts @ 5000rpm.

today i changed the oil and spark plugs, removed the rear louver, and dumped it on some new 13" hubcaps.

pimpin.

man.. bunkys are where its at, when they work that is. Mine is going at the moment but its using just as much petrol as my GTST, which kinda defeats the purpose of buying it... but i do get to fit an arcade machine in the back of the van

I get 420kms to a R33 GTST tank.. but its only pulling 226.9rwhp at the moment :rolleyes:

I'm doing about the same with 225 rwhp! 48 lits for 420km. Which is not too bad, considering the fact that i'm stayin on campus in uni, and i only take her out on the weekends. A take lasts me 2 weeks? :rolleyes: But that will all go down the drain when the avc-r and pfc + new turbo. :D Oh wells, hopin for 300hp in the not so near future. Just can't afford it for now. :mellow:

Dude, these vans are the ultimate machine.. I got a work van, (suzuki carry, holden Scurry) same thing, and the are the hardest thing to kill.. I just beat it every day, started it up, rev the shit out of it, drill it when it's cold, go through the gear box up and DOWN without using the clutch. And it just keeps going.. it's insane

done 350 000 since new, on it's 2 block and 3rd head.. when I got the thing, the head gasket was on it's way, boss told me to keep going till it died in the arse.. well.. when I drove around with the seat up and the radiator cap off, and jsut poored water in it every time I stopped I new it was time to get it fixed. That and you poored the water in the radiator and it came straight out the exhaust. :(

but yeah.. new headgasket and shes on her way again.. damn things are unable to die..

Yeh man it is cool, but i have a problem when I try and start it sometimes. If i put fresh petrol in it from nearly empty, it doesnt start. If i park it on a hill, it doesnt start. I figured out if i leave it for about 2 hours it will start up fine. Im guessing that theres water in the fuel tank and it gets sucked in when it gets swished around the tank. Also its bad on fuel at the moment.

Any ideas?

I know I had to put a new fuel pump on both of the ones we have, the stock one sits just next to the tank, ditch it off and get one from coventries or something, but new fuel pump is defenetly the way to go.. Also a common problem with them is they have trouble starting when it's really hot.. like 32c +

    • Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.  
    • f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
    • Oh and I lost my headlight washer jet cover!
    • Ok, so I got myself some X1 wheels really cheap to try out, they're a bit different and I like them but they're really narrow (18x8) they are available in staggered 18x8/9 also but really hard to find.  I kinda dig them, but not as much as the F10 19's I usually run, so these go into the wheel pile.         As I mentioned in another thread, I got a new exhaust. It's an off-the-shelf stainless one that fits OH-KAY. I don't love the tips size and how far they come out the back, I think I might cut the tips off and replace with some smaller (~3") ones that don't extend as far. It sounds really good though, I'm not sure if its just in my head but the car feels a little quicker, more responsive.      I fitted an eBay special front lip. Surprisingly it fit perfectly and all holes lined up. Its a little rickety but I haven't put any double sided tape on yet, I want to clean the front bar up where it has scraped the road a lot and fil in the number plate holes (or, get body coloured wrap to cover them - is this a thing?  I'm not sure if I'll leave it gloss or pain it matte. I really like it though, I don't particularly like the front bar without it, I don't really like the M-Sport and to get anything else is just too expensive. That said, I might need a new one now anyway as I dropped the car onto the jack after forgetting to put ramps under the front wheels. It bent a lot and while it did go back to normal after I got the car off the jack, I do fear I have not done it any favours.    Lastly, my headlights died. Different problems in each. They have gotten much dimmer over the past year or so, I put new (uber expensive) OSRAM bulbs in them but to no avail. One of them pointed at the ground and the other just kinda did its own thing with light working sometimes. Yeah, check this 18 year old BMW headlight wire. I reckon I know why they were stuffed.            BTW, the yellow and black is the power to the Xenons. Yikes. I hunted around an researched my options here. I would have loved to just get a replacement harness but not a thing. My car has adaptive headlights, that is they rotate left and right with the steering wheel. Good condition used adaptive xenons were over $700 each, non adaptive were around $400 each, but I couldn't help but think that they're all around 18 years old now, surely they'd have the same problems. So I looked at newer LCI headlights but they were even more expensive and I couldn't confirm that they'd be plug and play with lots of people having lots of opinions so not worth the risk.  I ended up getting brand new Chinese headlights from MARS. They're very close to OEM with only the angel eyes being a bit different. I didnt want crazy turn signals or sharp DRL's or anything. Not my bag.  They're not adaptive, I thought thats a feature I wouldn't really miss. So I coded that out.  The lights are awesome, they look so nice and they take so many years off the car. The angel eyes look great and the headlight brightness is ridiculous. I was so used to the old ones, I didn't realise just how bad they were. The new ones use the OEM bulbs, Xenon ballast and leveller motor which I was happier with. The only issue with them is that the rear cover is held on by SEVEN screws. This will be a nightmare to get to and open when I need to change bulbs.
