e30ftw 394 Report post Posted June 10, 2013 I have brand new wheel bearings if you need one, 1 front and 1 rear. Hit me up if you need one, Pretty straight forward to replace, you just need some big sockets. What P Plate did ya get? And did you wire up that Maplight mirror?

JayCee 26 Report post Posted June 15, 2013 What is a rad shroud? Haha sorry Havnt wired in maplight mirror, im lazy as :/ Need rear wheel bearing but depending in how hardout it is to change i think il be changing the rear trailing arm set up. Today i got a set of 205/45/R16 Falken ZE912s stretched onto the bbs, Got some wheel locator rings and 2 x 5 mm spacers for front wheels to clear , Wheels will be put on red and sprayed black centres after manual conversion etc The h&r springs/shocks will be ordered in a couple of weeks! And when installed guards will be rolled. I purchased a brand new waterpump/gasket set + brand new timing belt/tensioner set for $150, i hope that was a good price!? /: I bought a euro plate which reads " F V TEC" cant register it until i take rego off hold for which i need my wof to obtain it. ^ if you think its a s#it plate then i dont want to hear your negative thoughts, just thought itd be funny when these little civics drive past me. I want to add pics but bimmer uploader is a bit weird atm I am possibly buying a set of black leather recaros in a couple of weeks, if i do then my blue leather set and carpet will be for sale and i will list on the for sale ad. I get my 320i sometime theres no rush on it but it will be a quick fix and sell. And thats all for now really. Will update you guys soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etwenty1 45 Report post Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) What is a rad shroud? Haha sorry A black plastic surround that goes on the back of your radiator, has an opening in it for the fan and helps to pull air through the radiator. If you don't have one the car can run hot at low speeds. I have a spare for $20 if you can't find one.

Lucan 196 Report post Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Lol already got some bro: You considered painting or sanding the red that's visible between the tyre and lip edge? Looks weird IMO. Edited June 20, 2013 by Lucan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayCee 26 Report post Posted June 20, 2013 Lol already got some bro You considered painting or sanding the red that's visible between the tyre and lip edge? Looks weird IMO. TBH i think im guna keep the red lip, just paint the centres, If it looks real sh*t when the cars done il probs sand the red off but i think it looks alright, Only thing is it shows the stretch quite a bit when you see it in person. But each to their own Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cab 148 Report post Posted June 20, 2013 na get rid of racks. its too hellaflush 2011 sticker bomb steez, leave it for the vw's. nice car though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayCee 26 Report post Posted June 30, 2013 So i have decided to keep racks, but il take them off car just chuck them in wardrobe and put on maybe for a show and shine, Since ive ordered a Thule wind fairing off ebay. I got the black leather recaros on friday and put them in, The blue ones are for sale for $500, the condition of the blue ones was so much better but i prefer the look of black leather, Which i will be redying amd covering at some stage. If the blue leather doesnt sell by end of next month i will put it into my 320i I recieved my cambelt/tensioner and waterpump/gasket Which i will get put in along with my 5 speed conversion next month ( or the next /: ) And i am getting a price for a 2.8 stroker after that. Rims are getting painted later in year Need to get some 10mm 4x100 hubcentric spacers Which im probably getting off ebay for $60 Not much else happening so possibly ordering the h&r springs next week or the next. (Have the money just dont wana spend another $700 after paying $700 for the leather) Keep ya posted, Keen to hear your guys opinions etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldnt mind dying over the black ones because fade wouldnt be that noticeable. Was going to do it to the blue ones a while ago but was worried it wouldnt work!
