E30 BMW (as above) hinges are a good design. they work really well and it does look good sitting forward/open however theyre kinda on the chunky side so could be hard to engineer into a space that wasnt designed for them

When I was looking for the same thing in Christchurch none of the storage places wanted anyone working on a car, was solely turn up to pick things up/drop them off.

I advertised for one in the Buy Sell Exchange and the same week someone advertised so I got that.

I was paying $150 per month for ...

I had a bike in dunedin for almost 5 years and managed to never crash it (though I was the only one of my group of friends with a bike I didnt). Probably more good luck that good management as although I was always careful its usually the other persons fault.

Though riding on ice one morning was ...

Just checking and the stilettos that are on there now have had the front wheels carved out to fit (backs dont need it so wont fit on front).

Modifying Starlet hubs

Im trying to fit new wheels to my gfs Starlet Glanza (Non turbo). However the wheels Ive got which are 15" SSR Type Xs with the correct PCD and offset wont fit the car.

The centre piece of the hub that sticks out is about 2mm in diameter too wide to fit into the centre of the wheels. This is more ...

AE92

Partially because noone else has said it

Before I was even old enough to drive those were the the first Levins I really took notice of. Every week I used to play hockey and there was a white AE92 GTZ levin that parked across the road. Always admired that car.
