Akl-Raglan-Akl daily - I pass BP & Gulls
-
Curious if anyone has sat down and worked out the average price of 98 (it obviously varies a bit by location). Is BP with the loyalty card cheaper than gull etc? I spend $300+ a week on 98, should really work out where I should fill up (unless someone already has done it)

Interesting, my 330 does this as well, its like it refuses to kick down once in a while and tries to acclerate in a dumb gear. Hasnt dont it since it had an oil change which might explain a few things, and has never thrown an fault code on the scanner.

Gave the 130 (and 330) a polish and wax. Got some of that Bouncers Check the Fleck wax, like $180 a container (on sale for $30)... Im normally at the meguairs/mothers end of the wax spectrum, but for $30.. Ill give it a go. Clay bar'd, cut and polished using DA and a range of grades (finished with meguairs ultimate polish), spent the majority of the day, so the surface prep was pretty decent! It smells really nice, it goes on really nice, but OMG the buffing to get rid of holograms. Took forever and the end result is at the level of meguiars ultimate/carnauba Its shiney, but, seriously, too much work. No way could I justify the full price. "check the fleck" is apparently for metallicpaints, 130 is black saphire metallic... honestly, the fleck look better checked after the polish and before the wax

Interesting, is there a reseller semi-locally? pricing?

^ Agreed, I like the idea, and you nailed some parts. Drones are my bread and butter, if you want suggestions on how to get nice shots hollah, some of the ones included in your video are good, whereas others should have got the chop. The shot at 1:30 for instance is nice, just a simple climb, its cliche (all aerial photography now is!) but it looks good. Without really precise thumbs for pan/tilt shots just looks amateurish, so best bet is to just avoid it until your at that level, practice lots and just let it hit the editing room floor. Some of the best stuff ive got has just been from drifting in the wind while not trying to do anything fancy! What software are you using to assemble it all, kinda looks like some weird codec artifacts are happening? Might be due to the differing camera formats/bitrates/codecs? (youtube sometimes does this to) I want more though.

Is the canbus integration good? Eonons look pretty well sorted (at least on their website!)

When I had mine refurbed the chinese ripoff ACS wheels the local wheel places stocked didnt have the same bore dimensions.

Thats pretty nice, ancient hardware and OS though, and its pretty much just a hardwired tablet? for about the same price as a Galaxy tab S3 ? Suck none of the "mainstream" manufacturers arent really jumping on Android.

Another one, fits an E87 with auto climate control... Could be either an awesome toy, or total pile of sh*t https://www.belsee.com/belsee-best-aftermarket-oem-bmw-e81-e82-e87-e88-2004-2011-autoradio-radio-navigation-android-dvd-player-stereo-gps-google-maps.html

Plot twist... its his grand daughter.

Anyone played with one? They have decent reviews. Nothing specifically for an E87 (what I would be after) but... Being able to integrate with canbus and control the works, as well as OBD2 and turn it into a swag of gauges using torque pro etc would be cool. http://xtrons.com/pe9890bpl-android-8-octa-core-4gb-ram-32gb-rom-multimedia-player-with-9-display-custom-fit-for-bmw-3-series.html

Agreed, its awful, the old site was way better. They have got sloppy as with shipping times as well.

Try schmeidmann, they have some acs stuff. I had mag and tyre guru guy make me some last year, not as good as the originals though.

Really nice tool, makes doing all the bushes in the hub (with their weird clearance angles) easy. Pro level quality, would suit a workshop. For replacing the trailing arm bushings and trailing arm in wheel carrier bushing suitable for BMW Models 1 and 3 (2004 - 2012) series: E81 / E82 / E83 / E85 / E86 / E87 E88 / F20 / E90 / E91 / E92 / E93 includes the following tools: split bush compressor to be used as OEM 334450 camber arm mounting extraction / insertion tool to be used as OEM 334460 trailing arm mounting extraction / insertion tool to be used as OEM 334480 Used once, retails from around $450 kiwi + duty etc etc etc $300

Forgot to order the rear lower control arm spherical bush when I did the rear end, easy job with the right tools - roughly 30m per side. Interestingly these are actually properly stuffed, lots of play, pretty much every other bush I replaced was still serviceable at 236k.

Hyperdrive.. I havent bought anything from these guys before (pretty much wrote them off as numpties HPing 20" chromies to idiots who cant afford them).. Corolla needs a new stereo, headunit is dead, speakers all shot. Ordered a cheap setup, Sony HU, 6" low spec Alpines and 4" JVCs. Hyper called me and said they had just sold out of the Alpines, but if I was happy they would sub them for something. I really DGAF, and expected some other low end speakers. Opened the box today, high end rockford fosgates! (waaay over double the price of the alpines). Winning!

Mandatory 2 yearly driving tests, in the real world, with examiners who arent clowns clipping bus tickets. How to drive in traffic, how to go around a corner, how to take your left foot off the brake pedal, how to merge, how to stay da fuk out of the RH lane, what an indicator is, how to remove your head from your ass when driving in the rain, etc. Pass 2 of them in a row, and ya go to 10 year driving tests. Fail, and your license is revoked and requires a driving course before resiting. Instant mandatory 5k fine and no license for more 5 years if you drive with no license. Solved. Next problem.
