Re: I feel like going up to the gold coast for Xma (archive)

$10,500 sounds a little expensive. I wonder if it was the same one that was in Melbourne and imported from the UK. Someone imported an M3 write off and was selling the whole car for $12,000. Looking from the picture, there were only a few things that could have been salvaged.

The engine, front and rear suspension (including arms), gearbox, diff and possibly exhaust.

AP racing are excellent brakes. I think the only thing to watch out for is, you may need 18" rims. Someone I know installed them on an M3 with 17" rims and they had to get offsets and grind certain parts to stop the callipers from hitting the rim.

When they installed them and roll the car forward and back, it was ok, but once they turned corners, the car or rim flexed a little and it hit the rims.

Anyways, hope you don't have the same problems.

Sooty Pooh!

im looking for the s50 or the s52. s50 is the one for the moment cause of the price, $10500 up here at the moment. only one in brisbane as far as i know. was built 94/95 prolly in a 95/96 car. from the UK, with 33/34,000 miles. i think i want to see it running before i pick it up. i gotta trade my old engine first before i get it or while the conversion is getting done.

i havent done anything to mine in ages. oh, and im getting AP racing 4 pot brakes for the front.

I don't think my gf would be keen on going up there.

I haven't been there for almost two years. Eeek!

I wonder if I can sneak up there without her.

How are things going? Things are fine here. I'm still working on the web site and putting ideas together.

Done any mods since the last time we chatted?

I've only done some minor things. Got 2 new tires, installed a fire extingusher (for racing), got a wheel alignment and installed some racing pads.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Sooty Pooh!
