  1. Not sure about the interior nor the tail light tint, or even if the louvers are working as vents or air intakes?

    Sweet car though, & IMO the interview had so much more potential.

    The owner looked very nervous the throughout and fairly enough, if I owned it I'm not sure if I'd be letting someone drive at speed around the narrow road he was on.


  2. Got this stuff today and it's done the job nicely.

    Comes with a spray bottle for application. Scrape off after about 10 minutes. I applied a second coat and used wire wool to get into the corners. Way better than the Tergo.

    You just reminded me of the bottle I have in the garage, will have to test it on the BBSs this weekend. Did you try waterblasting them after application?

  3. What size rims have you used on an e36 to get a nice flush look?

     

    offset, width, diameter and spacers if you used them.

     

    Cheers. 

    ET13 looks good, but standard 5 series fitment works well. You'll need crappy stretched tyres - 225-40-17 on a 9" ET24 rubs like crazy even with rolled arches and pumped guards (gl working the rear arches, there's 3 converging layers in the rear arch).

    The fad is dead, get some 9" wide rears with standard offset and throw some 265-35-17s on them :D

  4. While they accurately show how without a tune the manifold has flaws, they don't backup their claims by giving the M52 manifold a tune also. I think for the whole thing to be fair the M52 should get a tune with the same bolt ons and then compare. If you're in Auckland I'm running an M52B28 with the same cams as you (and a tune), if you wanted a demonstration before committing either way I'd be more than happy :D


  5. @Ron, yeah the racks are a nice touch, really easy to put on and off too. Like you say though they really howl on the motorway, driving it with the sunroof down isn't pleasant.

    Can you send me a link to the engine Info you've found? Cheers

    Didn't realize there were wheels in nz, ill keep my ear to the ground, super keen to get a 17" set.
