Is it your car or the above posters car? Do the mods etc that you want to do! i hate seeing people have ideas and then get told not to by other people so they change thier mind! If you want to go back to stock wheels then do it!

dealer. $300 odd. unless you can get your hands on one to make a fiberglass replica

please tell me this is just for desiel cars? i have to get rego for the Volvo next month thank goodness exemption on the bimmer is free haha

Worth it if you dont care about colour. best $90 (if thats what they cost me) ive ever spent on the car

^ thats the point of the thread.. i dont know what they are worth

yep they look bigger tho so maybe they are the 17" versions. ill go and check tomorrow i think

Hey guys. saw a crashed E36 while i was out today. Not sure what it is, front and rear ended so panels are all rooted. However it does have a set of 1 piece schnitzers on it. Considering going over and investigating but as the schnitzers are probably all that are salvagable out of what i wouldnt want and worth selling, it kinda depends on what they are worth. Assume they are in average condition, what is the going rate and are they likely to sell quickly? Anyone want some?

let me guess you read about this on a stateside forum? ive asked at repcos before when i wanted some for my M20, and they had never heard of it and wasnt in any of thier cataloges

Agree with both of you! Car looks awesome like it is!

Like

its possibly 2x red and white RCA sockets.. (like what you would find on a DVD player or whatever).

this makes me sorta regret selling my Schnitzers that never actually made it onto the car lol

^$? ball park figure would do..?

The sways. im interested in them, but i think that shipping would be outrageuos on them. if you still have them next time your down this way give me a PM and we can sort something out if i havent sourced any by then

nope, car is hibernating till spring/summer time, mainly for weather purposes. It cranks over etc though, and i know the real reason why its not going now.

do you know how to go about at b28 stroker? totally different to a b27 stroker.

Got any pics of the back seat for interests sake? i was considering doing that in my E30 but i thought i might regret it.

may be able to lend a hand come stand around look useful as well, depending where im at tomorrow. wont be till mid/late arvo though

the one on the right is just another tech2 on BBS imo. Nothing to make it stand out from the pack. the one on the left is pretty nice though, wouldnt mind more pictures of that

you dont travel to welly at all do you?

intrested to see if you find some. ive tried the bulbs michael mentioned in my low and fogs and they are white at best. (despite the name, they claim to be blue). still.. thats better than yellow!

yeah i tend to get a bit carried away with it. its probably my favourite part about the car thus far. We shall see if that changes once the engines running ha. People have mixed feelings when it comes to caps. I have a decent battery, and it still pulsed the lights when the bass hit and i had it cranked up. the cap got rid of that. at the end of the day, whether it makes a noticable difference or not, there is no question about the fact that it takes strain off not just the battery, but helps protects all the cars electrical system from power suply pulsing, something the various ECUs dont like. thats reason enough to buy one in my book. your 1300W subs are likely to be the same or worse than my 1000W ones with the amp you plan to run, as you are running them off a smaller amp than me, and also because yours have a higher max power rating they are likely to be less efficient. id be happy with your setup as a starter point though

possibly. havent done it like that though. i think you need to take that pin out before the pedal will move enough for you to remove the spring. cant hurt to try though. They can be a bit of a bitch to wiggle out I think my one had both? (Jap 320i auto as well when in left the factory). that bar that runs along the back will not come out. ive tried. i wouldnt touch that if i was you. it does its job fine, and to get it out youd have to remove the dash and then the heater box etc etc

Cant remember model numbers, but its the generation before their newest range of stock. Sony Headunit CD/Aux etc, 6.5" 160W (ish) fronts running straight off the headunit. rear signal goes to a 350W 2ch amplifier and then to the 320W 6x9s on custom spacers on the back parcel shelf*. Then i have 2x rear facing 12" 1000W subs each with thier own 800W amplifier, in repco boxes for now untill i can be bothered investing in something better. All wiring is gold laced (yes damn expencive, was brought at this point so i didnt have to relay wires when i get some better quality speakers etc), the main power cables are all 0 gauge iirc.. Power goes fromm the battery through a fuse (forget the value) and then to a 5Farad Tsunami Capactior, and then 4Ga to the amplifiers. Cap and all amplifiers are earthed in the same place. ideally the headunit would also be earthed in the same place too to prevent distortion/feedback but i didnt do that. Oh the subs are individually swtiched too (using the REM output on the headunit) so i can switch off one or other or both of the subs to help conserve battery power when idling in traffic or parked up. Also installed an aftermarket voltmeter to keep an eye on everything. Its a great setup. the biggest restriction in the system is the recordings on my ipod. they become crappy at around the 30 mark on the stereo, but CDs will play pretty loud.. i dont play my music exessively loud, and havent experienced distortion on it at levels you would comfortably listen too. Also tune your amp for the subs and/or speakers. play around with the settings on them untill you are listening to stuff the way you want to! *when fitting 6x9s you must use spacers. DO NOT cut into the metal underneath the parcel shelf. this is structural, a WOF fail, and virtually irreparable. its part of the shell of the car too so its not like you can unbolt it and put something else in

Its irrelevant if he doesnt mind the saftey... hes not the one coming in the opposite direction at night time and gets blinded by them Unless of course a proper HID conversion has been done the legal way with new lenses etc.
