Thanks and agreed. Mine sounds rad.

Interesting, can you convert low-beams to xenon without a cert? High-beam also? Are yours from Umnitza? And why new LCA's? Damage to the old ones? GLWS, lovely example!

is that Estoril or Avis (or something else)? Front bumper available?

Want.

New job, great pay... now I just need to find a house...

How much?

Nice work James, great service to the community! Props.

Yep, flash as bro!

Your alignment pins look just like mine!

^ I can't believe somebody actually conceived of and manufactured that.

Hi and yes, they're tantalum caps to the best of my knowledge. I just used what the DIY says to use because I have very little idea about electronics and wasn't going to second guess somebody that had already had success. So far so good... with any luck it will hold for years to come.

Cheers Dion, great to meet you too!

^ Where's the best touchless wash between Northcote and Penrose?

Looking very tidy in there now Martin, you're adding value by the minute it seems!

Cheers. Hopefully I haven't overdone too much, don't want to over capitalise. The ethos of this project is to keep it feeling and looking reasonably stock but in good resale condition (even though I'm not planning to sell).

That's ridiculously clean and tidy! Props.

Looking forward to seeing this one tomorrow, would be nice to have the Estoril's side-by-side. Although yours is sure to be cleaner than mine!

Good to catch up today Conor and take her for a drive. Quite a peppy beast I must say, certainly seems dialled in and loves to give back above 4k RPM. Lucky we didn't lose her when that dude ran the red light (real late too!). Lots of little project items for you to get your hands dirty with too and if you need ideas check out my project thread. I still reckon you should get Brent to install that shock mount for free!

lol - I just re-read this and that's the price for one, not a pair! *damn* BMW DE charges EUR8 each.

I don't need them (already have them) but $30 a pair is good. They're US$12 each (+ shipping) from Schmiedmann (51-71-8-413-359) so, given the exchange rate that would be more than NZ$30. At James' price everybody should get some.

Having lunch with him now.

Agreed and totally possible. You just have to be extra careful to get it square and it's a big spanner, a socket will be less expensive if 1) you already have a 3/8" wrench and 2) you don't have a 32/6mm (?) spanner.

Didn't watch the (whole) vid. But it's simple - get plates, weld them on.

No, you weld a new plate over the top that has holes for the existing bungs.

Same, same. Cheers Ron and there you go folks, don't spend more than NZ$34.
