  1. Appreciate Earons compliment Dave. Really. Just take a moment and savour it
  2. Dave do you want to rebuild my vanos at the same time? Seems like you've done it enough times to be able to do it blindfolded!
  3. Suresh I just read of a kit which you install into your gas tank and it reads the exact octane rating, like if you had half a tank of 98 and put in some e85 and changes your fuel and timing maps etc if your ECU supports it to match the combined octane rating ... Could help depending how you are currently determining which map to run ..
  4. Make sure you get steel ones. Aluminium Alloy ones are illegal for a reason
  5. Depends what pads. Can do a variety of pads including hawk ceramic. Let me know a spec or part number !
  6. Totally! sounds like amazon have their heads screwed on right .. The USA to nz route is a bit more of a wait! I have your turners gear and hopefully an update on what UUC are doing. Sent you a mail
  7. Awesome that you managed to score the amazon deal dave!
  8. Do you know the part number of the bilstein shocks you're after?
  9. Aw jooles you know you love my ricer angel eyes
  10. Yep landed myself into the grass on Hamptons after the tight downhill hairpin in the wet .. kept foot down but hard to recover after the third fish tail lol .. and it was on my first lap haha ......... The shame! Had to get a tow out of the mud. Just happy it was the grass side not the barrier side. There's a lot of discussion on Facebook etc of this m4.. The guy didn't even countersteer and then sat on the brakes. Apparently only a little cosmetic damage.
  11. I'd like to know what working vanos feels like too welcome !
  12. Nooooo Tom don't do that to the csl haha
  13. Mine .. led off eBay but full headlight unit replacements including hid for rhd
  14. Hahahahha that's Steve's car. Why he put that description ... didn't know he was into s&m lol
  15. howard I have a set of rear ceramics, no dust. same as what I run.
  16. Will fit: OE SLOTTED & PLATED FRONT brake rotors for E90/E92/E93 335i, 335Xi, 335d Slots are stress-relieved, do not extend through to edge of rotor. Directional slotting for improved effectiveness and aesthetics. Minimum thickness markings on every rotor for quick maintenance checks. Correct retaining screw position. Heat dam provides maximum protection from heat transfer to wheel hub. What makes the best brake rotors? Details, details, details, and value! UUC Ultimate OE-size replacement rotors are slotted, plated, and manufactured using the best techniques and materials. Optional Slotting: there are many reasons to slot rotors. Primarily, slotting aids in removal of water and debris on the rotor surface, evacuation of hot pad "off gassing" vapor, and provides a visual wear indicator. Details: These slots do not extend all the way to the edge of the rotor for a very specific reason; this maintains the structural integrity of the rotor. Other brands with slots all the way to the end have created "stress risers" where cracking may develop. No such problem exists with this design. Additionally, directional slotting enhances effectiveness. NO DRILLING! Drilled holes in rotors often used for "show" are prone to cracking and catastrophic failure. The holes create stress risers which will lead to this sort of failure. Additionally, drilled holes do not improve cooling, rotary-vane rotors lose efficiency when drilled because cooling air does not not pass through the rotor circumferentially but is instead prematurely evacuated by the holes.. Plating: Multi-stage black plating resists unsightly corrosion on the rotor hub and unswept areas of the rotor face. Rotor after normal use, normal silver color in swept area. Precision: due to the ultra-precise tolerances used for run-out, parallelism, and surface flatness, absolutely no pre-installation machining is required for smooth operation without vibration or shimmy. Manufacturing details: Meets SAE standards for brake rotor iron. Alloying: Copper and Chromium added to achieve specific hardness and tensile strength. Precision-controlled cooling during the casting process creates a uniform distribution of graphite flakes, thus increasing wear resistance and the ability to dissipate heat. In contrast, premature cooling of cast iron can cause iron brittleness, thus making the brake rotor more likely to warp or crack, especially when overheated under hard braking conditions. Run-out less than .004". Parallelism of machined surfaces within .0005" tolerance. This attention to detail makes these rotors suitable for street, auto-x, track, and race use. These are current in the south island (Dunedin) but can ship NZ wide. $450 NZD. Brand New. I can supply ceramic HAWK pads at a good price if you like, or any other supporting mods like braided lines etc. Also those who know .. can bring in other items from the states. Heavy/Bulky by sea, light/small by air. Over the past few orders, have learnt which suppliers are the ones to use, PM me if you want to get some parts in.
  17. Ah yay for those mid late 90s BMW tuning groups like dinan and Hartge
  18. Use an amplifier and a Bluetooth line in. Forget the head unit unless you want to listen to the radio ..
  19. Lol.. Group vanos rebuild party!
