  1. Sweet, how much you want for them?
  2. Will the transmission mounts fit G220 into a E36?
  3. This looks strangly like the one that a guy at work drives, very nice actually. The car I mean.
  4. First world problems, car is to low to get into the garage.
  5. Im working on something similar for both my V8s, keen to see how yours comes out As for the bonnet buldge, ive done mine, I can probably help with yours haha would be something different on the Seven'a
  6. Looks pretty good. Do you know what type of springs he has installed? I know he mentioned the bilstein shocks, are these sports or heavy duty? Reason I ask is because I'm looking at lowering options for my E60.
  7. Well haven't really set a budget as I just buy as I go along, like I won't be spending silly money until I can actually race and know how the car works and feels. I saw a post, that I can't seem to find now, of a member on here that had a pretty decent oil breathing and oil cooling system on their M50 red E30, would probably want something similar if I can find that post again
  8. Hahaha I managed to 'borrow' one from work. Hopefully the boss won't notice his computer is louder than usual. Yep, I've removed everything from under the dash including the two tanks. I just need to remove the auxiliary fan and tank. I can't see any other connections to it, so hopefully it's not needed. I also started on the coolant sensor removal, but need to trace the second pipe which goes under the intake manifold. I have to take the manifold off anyways to remove the auto box, so will do that then. Would you know if removing the oil breather pipes from the throttle body pipe will cause any issues? I'm thinking of installing an additional oil breather
  9. Bought this for the DD but it doesn't fit. $300 BMW Genuine Apple iPhone 5 Snap-In Adapter Charger Dock 84 21 2 351 308. A safe and secure docking system, suitable for Apple iPhone 5 mobile phone. Thanks to the interchangeable, phone-specific snap-in adapter, drivers can make calls hands-free. In conjunction with the Bluetooth interface, it enables you to charge the mobile phone battery. Supplied with an exaternal aerial, which improves reception and ensures that any radiation is dissipated outside the car interior, while charging their handset at the same time. Operation is via the iDrive controller, multi-function steering wheel or voice control.
  10. I just spoke to the guy, he asked me to put a Tender in. So ill make an offer around $6K and see what happens hahaha
  11. I have a full air con system off the M50 if anyone wants it. Just need to come pick it up
  12. Saw and heard this beasty yesterday, sounds amazing!
  13. Yea, ive had a look at deleting the Air temp sensor, so might continue with that. If Not, but custom cold air box could house the sensor, and by custom cold air box I mean a nicely folded / bent computer case. Managed to delete the entire air con system without breaking anything, so that was a plus.
  14. So finally got around to this on Saturday morning. Did the complete heater delete, now I just have to hope and pray that the two coolant pipes I joint together have the same directional flow, as I have removed the heater valve which had 3 pipes coming off it, 2 were attached to the firewall going into the heater coils under the dash. 1 goes to the rear of the block <-- this one is now connected to another hose that comes off the water pump I think? from under the intake manifold, originally the 3rd heater coil attached pipe. Then started with the intake and break down of the right side head light for direct intake, so the car will have 3 headlights instead of 4. Just need to find a plastic headlight cover as I may have broken the glass one trying out my glass cutting skills. Have ordered the following parts which should arrive soon, - Clutch Kit, incl Lightened flywheel, stage 2 clutch, pressure plate and also a heavy duty clutch - K&N Pod Filter (currently playing with the idea of a M3 M50B25 hybrid intake) - Bonnet Clips - Exhaust tubing for custom side exit exhaust or straight through - SIA approved race seat and 6 point safety belt I also have some sheet metal that ill be fabricating the intake cold air box that will house pretty much the entire intake incl throttle body.
  15. Do we know if the X5 tail gate is curved from left to right? that's the issue with this project, is that the tailgate is curved and not straight. I have tried 2 set ups from a holden and have recently received the tailgate locks used on a XungYung thingy, these locks look like they might work, but will have to see.
  16. Well it will fit and semi work But that's a gamble. I got the dual stage M3 wheel working on single stage system. All good tho
  17. Sweet, I'll give em a clean and when in me out to see you next week for the Bluetooth I'll bring them with I'll bring it on Sunday to the meet and you can take it
  18. Also, can you send me the dimensions. Ill ask my cousin for a courier quote too
  19. That's cool. I have a 540i Motorsport and was literally about to buy one off ebay, but cant be bothered with the 2 month wait. Can you text me your bank details please? 021 302 485 and ill deposit the funds into your account?
  20. Ah really? Dammit, looked like a motorsport when I had it on the car. Oh well, guess ill just throw that away in the skip next week

  22. Do you still have these? Ill take one. Do you know shipping price to Auckland?
  23. Whats this E61 M5 business? Do you have any pics? PS if you land up parting this wagon for what ever reason, can I have your rear bumper :-) haha
  24. Started on the rear hinge for the tailgate. What an engineering mind f'k as there are so many angles to consider when opening and closing as it will be semi square when closed, but half moon when open due to the bend of the tailgate. But after a few hours of measuring and testing, seem to have it on the right angle. Wont have any nasty bolts sticking through, just needed that for lining up. Just need to figure out how to work around the one small chassis piece that is stopping it from fully closing and then re think the locking system. Sorry about the crappy images, had to use the iPod
