      What kind of King springs are those? Superlows? I've been looking for a pic with front and rear kings to judge the ride height (front wheel gap rawr!)

        These are KHFL-114 (90/160lb/in) on the front and KBRL-14SL (315lb/in) at the rear.

        Kings list the KHFL-114 as being for Hyundai Excels. When I talked to Kings about the KHFL-114, he did not recommend them for the front of BMWs. I picked these up second hand the seller said they were 'OK for a 4 cylinder. I am not sure whether they'd work for a 6.

        King list KDRL-50 as Superlows for BMW E30, but they do not seem to be that low to tell you they truth.

              I had a bit of bother. The radiator outlet cracked and dumped all the coolant. It happened not far from home so I'm hoping no damage has happened to the engine. I have ordered a new radiator which I'll toss in next week.

                  Nice daily, especially for $300, seems as though people want so much even for the shitters down here. I'll have to keep an eye out for it, which side of town you on?

                    I am in Hughes. I was lucky to get it. It was auctioned in Dubbo and no one seemed to want it.

                    The M40 is deceased (see above radiator calamity). It's passed on. This M40 is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late M40. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If it wasn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-M40!

                    I am considering a number of options to replace it. There was a Toyota 7MGTE for sale cheap here recently. I'd like a 1UZ-FE V8. There is however a crashed E36 328i, the bits of which may make it into the said shitter. I have also located a sportsitze interior for a bit of 'comfy-bum'.
