  1. Loving your 'do it once, do it right' approach. What did you use to polish the muffler - it looks amazing!
  2. Great project. What brakes are you using?
  3. Including shipping and taxes, what was the total in nzd?
  4. Is it the n46 motor? If so, trade the car in as quick as you can and buy a six cylinder
  5. Personally I would avoid them as Fenix have a bit of a checkered history.
  6. Yea, spill the beans Mac
  7. Thats pretty reasonable. How many turns lock to lock is it?
  8. What did it cost to get the rack rebuilt?
  9. Electricity is smoke. When the smoke stays in the wires everything works. When the smoke gets out of the wires things stop working. Therefore, electricity is smoke.
  10. Did you ever sort out the cam thing?
  11. Stop teasing and show us the pictures of the car after paint
  12. Coming along nicely. How many hours were spent on bodywork?
  13. Holy thread revival batman! Looking at these D1 rotors - has anyone got any feedback on them? Thanks
  14. Well, got back from getting the aircon re-gassed, and it all works perfectly! Thats another big job crossed off the list.
  15. Thought I better update this thread. I ripped the dash out and installed a new evaporator and valve, a new heater core, a new drying container, and every single seal and oring in the whole system. While I was in there I even removed the front carpet and cleaned that. It was scary having the whole dash out but I took my time and everything went back together fine. On Friday I go back to coolcar to have the system refilled, so fingers crossed.

    New The 5er (G30)

    The kidneygrills are awesome how they open and close automatically.
  17. I had some hopes and dreams but then I lost them.
  18. Graham - if you buy a honda does it require you to lose your bimmersport membership and hand in your man card?
  19. And I can display all of them next to my hopes and dreams.
  20. The bore is surprisingly not to bad and could be easily salvaged but of course its not worth doing on a n46. I might take the piston out and keep it as a momento .
  21. Slow, but I like the process and I'm in no rush. Car has been completely stripped of all its driveline, suspension, brakes etc. I've got spax adjustable coilovers, all new bushings and rebuilt 330i brakes to go in but before I do that I need to buy a welder and weld in rear subframe strengthening plates. I've got a m3 large case lsd and axles coming from Kayne Barrie too. M62b44 engine is sitting on its stand waiting to be rebuilt when I get the time. I really should do a project thread.
  22. Well, I figured this thread needed an update. On Sunday I finally grew some nuts and removed the head to inspect the damage. Quite impressive really;
  23. But with some brake fluid foot brakes would be okay? Just wouldnt want to risk towing it with only a handbrake
  24. The sky is the limit, It depends on what you need - sparkplugs, air filter, cabin filter, diff fluid, gearbox fluid, brake flush etc. A good bmw mechanic will go over the car with a fine tooth comb and let you know what needs replacing.
