    Hey Willie,
    Laurence here (we met up at Pukekohe)..
    I see you've bought Waynes M3.. congrats, it's pretty damn nice!! What are your plans for the car this year? Other than to drive it heaps lol :)

    Re: the exhaust, PM LucklyM3 (Oliver).. He's on this site and does nice kit.. Not too sure of the size difference (sorry i don't have the specs on me) but I think it's 2 x 75mm??
    look in old classifieds and it should have the kit somewhere there.

    When are you bringing the M3 down the country :)
    PS: Whats the story with the TWR 'm3'??

    Cheers,
    Laurence.

    Hi Laurence,

    Well - I had the screen taken out today to get a new one and they found the dreaded scuttle rust (absolutely no sign before taking it out - I think every car should get checked for this), so $3500 and a few weeks later that will be sorted.

    I got most of my deposit back on the TWR M3 that had a few issues. Following up the other part now.

    As for the exhaust I emailed LuckyM3 yesterday, he is getting a new batch in end of March or April so I will probably get one of those. I believe it is 2x 50mm pipes with 75mm tips.

    Cheers

    Hi Laurence,

    The current plan:

    1. Fix rust!
    2. Oil change - engine, gearbox, diff
    3. Get wheels finished
    4. Sort exhaust
    5. Get remap
    6. Replace some interior switches, trim etc
    7. New disks and pads
    8. Start working on bits for aftermarket EMS, carbon box etc

    Next year - Maybe Engine :) And somewhere in there, sort out the suspension.
