He certainly does - it's parked outside mine at the minute.

And it ran a very nice number (considering it had been stood static for a couple of years) at SRR recently.
330i. E30 Touring.
I don't think there's a plan to currently, but everything has a price. (;
Hi all, apologies for the late reply.
@ColinG the cars not for sale as such, however it would command a pretty high premium to prize it from my hands. ha. In recent months I've settled with the fact that I may keep it forever (genuinely) and transport it with me when I move to Australia in the next 18 months.
If you want to have a chat about it more, send me a PM buddy.
Cheers
Nick

M Cars (providing you can get them past the corrosion inspection) are worth a f**king fortune in Aus.
Oh I've checked mate!
I've not heard about the corrosion check however, you have any info on that?

You know my mate Sam?Oh I've checked mate!
He took an old M535 over, 2 Monaro's and a 1990's Merc.
Any imported cars have to go through a test, very strict, and it cannot have any corrosion or oil leaks. Anywhere.
The slightest hint and they'll tell you to get fucked.
They'll put it on a ramp and go over it with a fine tooth comb.
I'll text him now and ask what it's called hold on...
Jesus!
Mines in no way shape bad apart from the standard little bit on an arch, they'd pick that up? Its a bloody 20 year old car, and is going somewhere warm and dry where it shouldn't rust! lol

As Dan says they go through quarantine and they don't like rust. We shipped a car where the owner said they cleaned it. When it arrives they found leaves under the bonnet and wouldn't release it.
Another good one is getting it wet vac'd before shipping then letting it get sweaty in a container. They think it's nice and clean for inspection but it's a mould fest when it arrives. They're then not letting you have your car.

Yep. He had oil around the oil filter housing on one of them, not even a leak and they refused it.

No rust. At all. Even underneath.
Evo 5 RS
I wanted to buy this a few years back. It's certainly had some dollar spent on it by Nick now!
Jesus! I know that they're very hot on trying to keep their eco-system in check however it does all seem a bit crazy! I was reading up on it last night just importing it to Australia once I'm there, it did say about steam cleaning it inside and out prior to exporting it!
It does worry me as I would absolutely love this car to move to Aus with me, its easy to buy one out there but whats the fun in that! haha There's one other over there currently in Byzanz Metallic that was exported from the UK quite a few years ago, highly doubt i'll find that out there!
Don't suppose you can send me a message with what service you provide, a couple of people on here have spoken highly about what you do and would rather lace your palms then some random company!
Looks like i'll be sending it the bodyshop sooner than I thought! I did see that you're only allowed to import 1 car every 5 years, was Sam a trader over there or something?
That was some time ago now! Its had a pretty penny spent on it indeed, however aside from a full repaint and a couple of wear and tear parts I'd like to think I'm over the worst of the issues! Lol

@Nick172Cup
His whole family moved there, a family of 6! ;-)
The money he earned out of it was obscene. Particularly the monaros.

Oh like that was it! May have to get the missus to get an M3 also!
Might be worth the hassle of getting it over there then!
Evo 5 RS
It's an awesome colour, yeah
Really? Haha. We know each other?
I think he means you are a legend for taking the time to sign up to a new forum in order to say hello!
Wow, its been a little while!
Firstly Hi Leben and I must admit you have a great looking car! Is it an Evo like the UK market?
So yeah, thought given a took a couple of snaps a couple of months back with @Budgie that I best put them on here! I've been pretty horrendous for updating project threads but given I haven't done anything with this car there isn't much to update! lol
Anyways, still have the car and haven't used it, but here's the pictures...
A little list has formed of bits its needs and then bits I'd like to do whilst I'm working on it...
Engine Mounts
New Steering Rack and Arms (plus any other steering component that is worthwhile
Lower Arms
Valve Clearances
So just got to scope out where to get everything and then get cracking with it so I can hopefully get a few miles in it before the year is out.
Hope everyone is well.
Cheers
Nick

My mate was in awe when we stopped and had a look round
When was that mate? I barely see it these days! lol
Popped up to get an engine from Mike.
Ah alright, yeah I've seen you've been properly unlucky with engines of late! Fingers crossed that engine will get you on the right track!
If there wasn't so much time invested into it (and the Diff) is get shot of it.
You still planning to take it to AUS ?
You still planning to take it to AUS ?
Yeah that's where I'm at with this car mate! lol
Yep still going to Aus, not right away naturally as I have more important things to sort out first. But once I'm ready she'll be heading into a container and floating over.

Looking great Nicholas, need to catch up soon. Hope you're well bud! X
Cheers dude, hope you're well also! I believe I'm heading up this week so will pop in and say hi!

I am available every night bar Wednesday and Friday. I might be able to squeeze Wednesday as it's because I should be working until 8pm but might sack that off. Friday is a no go as it's our wedding anniversary, if I sloped off for a pint my life wouldn't be worth living
