New PS4S 305/35r20, M Performance Diffuser and Number plates
In NZ the standard plates are in the format aaa111 and when these were launched in about 2001 to replace the aa1111 format that we had used for 40 years a bunch of manufacturers went and bought all of the number plates for their car. Even Peugeot did it with PUG111 series plates and of course BMW did it registering every plate from BMW111 to BMW999 that hadn't already been registered - most traditional model numbers such as BMW328 and BMW850 had been bought as personalised plates a long time ago of course, I think my new plate will stand out quite a bit

You mean the new 295's I've got on it in the other thread? The top of the tyre is pretty much inline with the top of the guard. But the 295 PZero sidewall very slightly curves back in so the top of the tyre doesn't come past the top of the guard.

While there are many cool and cheaper solutions out there I simply love the ORIGINAL M Performance Diffusor setup especially if paired with the original carbon spoiler.

I wonder if F13 has camber pin that can be removed like the older ones which allows slight adjustment to the front camber, maybe make it like 0.5 deg more negative or something?

how do service laborers make? Just seems like it's an unsustainable situation based on those numbers and a low population.

https://www.trademe.co.nz/property/r...e75cfd00c6ed7a That carpet!! wow. These were probably under valued as you could rent them out with a 100% mortgage and pay for the mortgage, council rates and insurance without paying for anything out of your pocket at all. I know - I did this 5 times Since then houses like that have ~doubled in price as you can see from that link while rents have gone up 15-20%, which now means as a landlord you've got to hope for further capital gains if you're buying now. Of course all of my mortgages on my rentals are pretty small now so I'm well sorted. Confession - I didn't actually take the pictures on my street, my house is about 1km away and is relatively modest. I bought it in 2008 when I was 24. I made the decision in 2012 to buy some rental properties instead of moving into a nicer place for myself and it paid off fairly well for me. I bought the M6 with a car subsidy my company gave me and as celebration for paying off the mortgage on the house I live in. I'll do it up in a year or two and look to spend $1.5-2m on a house with a few acres of land (if you can be bothered looking it up, I am looking at Drury/Ramarama/Bombay area) I work in IT sales and combined I make about $300k a year with my girlfriend who works in IT distribution. I don't have any qualifications other than a drivers license and high school Minimum wage here is $16.50 and you get plenty of subsidies from the government if you have kids from outright cash per kid to housing subsidies and a bunch of other stuff. I just spent a week in Fiji and trust me, people aren't poor here by comparison! I'm sure there are parallels in the US where people don't have much money but still have iPhones, satellite/cable TV, 5 year old cars on big wheels etc etc. The issue with housing currently is that people can be employed as a teacher, policeman, fireman etc and can't afford to buy a house in Auckland, but they can in the regions. So there is plenty of noise in the media about that. We don't have different pay grades for the area you live in and there are stories about people driving 100km or more per day to work in Auckland and live somewhere further out. I suspect however that worldwide the same issue exists in most big cities and that people have been used to not owning their own house for generations, this is especially the case in Europe. In NZ however the majority of people expect to own their house almost as a right at the moment. Perhaps that perception will change over the next 30 years. I'm allowed to highjack my own thread aren't I? |

The installation manual says it will give -0.3deg for M5 and -0.6deg for M6, which probably means you will put M5's upper arm into M6. And yep I am keen for your sway bars - I wonder how much stiffer it is compared to non CP bars! |
