The compounds you are using are quite light, something like meguairs m105 on a cutting pad followed by a lighter compound or finish on 105 if you are good and you could knock panels out in 20-30 minutes.

My brothers subaru had this, suspected foreign matter damage aswell, rotors are so cheap anyway I replaced them and pedal feel improved a bit, didnt have to push brake pedal so hard.

Well I will pay you a visit shortly when I am on the shore getting my tints done, do you mean in stock or should I place an order?

Im after any interesting e39 stuff specifically 540i m62tu At the moment im looking for bilstein PSS thrust/control arm bushes urethane pre vanos or m6b40 intake manifold boot lip spoiler roof/rearwindsreen spoiler perhaps the msport/m5 front and rear bumpers but need the whole fitment kit with liners etc guard rolling services near perfect black leather sport electric front seats, I have sport fronts but drivers is a bit worn. Any interesting wheels 18" or larger Will just order what I want from overseas unless someone has something here.

Was battery terminals for me, look perfect and far tighter than finger tight but when i took it out to charge to 100%, sanded terminals and put vaseline on and really tightened it up, no more issues

I have seen the s5 package spec sheet somewhere on the net that said upgraded valve springs ac cams ac exhaust ( assume muffler and tips only) ac bodykit ac wheels power was said to be atleast 315hp

early 1999 msport, sport seats diff and steering wheel. Here it is after a serious compounding with the flex, ready for some swirl mark removal now. Heres the new wheels, painted them satin black, did the kidney grill at the same time and the calipers red. Finished paint correction, headlights were in terrible shape. Window glass was pretty bad for waterspots, fixed that up too- cant tell if i have the windows up or down sometimes! Have taken bumper lip off to respray as has a large chip and many smaller ones, also a bit of strengthening aswell. Cant wait to get it back on. Here is car on holiday up north, note wheels covered in brake dust, it was a fun drive up...

Afraid by way of PM Brent is first in apologies everyone these generated quite a bit of interest, maybe should had a higher price : P

$300 Paint is in ok condition hardly any kerbing, dunlop direzzas on front 3+mm and back but back two have camber wear would fail WOF. Spare warrantable but low tread, 2-3mm So 5 wheels with 3 warrantable tires, 245 front 255 rear perfect cheap upgrade for 15/16 inch wheel e39's or e39's with ugly aftermarkets. Here they are when they were on the car

A similar job I know of on a falcon bumper was 250 with half the bumper painted to blend.

My e39 was dieing occasionally when i coasted, everything was tight and fine but I took the battery out sanded the terminals even though they were mint, vaselined them them put it on my charger which only took 4 hours to top off and reinstalled tightly. No problems since, before that I checked alternator and every ground and nothing.

6 of these DOT compound street legal race tyres that came with my 540i, the guy used them for one track day and decided the 540i was too heavy to track and put the tyres back in the garage meaning to sell them on trademe but never got around to it. They have 4+mm tread left and they only come with 5mm off tread so very close to new. From tire rack "ADVAN A048 tires are molded with 6/32" of tread depth in their grooves and are left unshaved for use on damp tracks. Tire Rack suggests shaving ADVAN A048 tires to approximately 4/32" of tread depth to begin competitive road racing/track use in dry conditions. The ADVAN A048's directional tread design and symmetric internal construction allows remounting partially worn tires inside-out on their wheels to help prolong their life." These tires have great reviews and hyper.co.nz wants $500 each for the 225 version. All 6 for $1200, excellent for track days. South Auckland location. Open to trades/part trades for 540i goodies.

I hear it's a test mule.....

Looking for a 2000-2001 clk55. I dont imagine there a many in NZ but if someone knows someone who could be convinced to sell. I am aware of only the one on trademe but have seen it previously and not interested at that price in that condition.

I spent ages looking around the net for this info and its pretty sparse but the conclusion everyone comes to is its just too expensive to mod past an extra 30hp, (the engines are closer to 300hp than the claimed figure) the supercharger is by far the best bang for buck, 5000 US ive seen the kits sell for, gives an extra 100hp-120hp at 6-7psi.

The amount of clearcoat you have should be far more than ample to deal with swirl marks. The marks are very fine and you should not have a problem if you do it right. Just a note, if overspray is light a claybar can be effective for removal without paintwork damage. I dont know which product your using but i would suggest dont go medium, get the fine and an even lighter abbrasive like a good polish. The fine should eliminate most of the swirls and the polish should be applied and buffed off several times, the fine abrasives should take care of the rest of the swirls and the wax will mask any remainders.

Always check JB hifi for games, its $97 there for gt5 atleast it was a couple of days ago.

In the garage, hose it down, let it dry out a bit so it isnt too humid, clear plastic drop sheets everywhere and use a side door for ventilation. Use a good chemical mask.

Any reason why you cant do it one at a time with the factory jack? You may want to buy a real one, quite handy. Some brake parts cleaner and a toothbrush are very handy for getting the muck off them quicksmart but dont get it on any painted surface.

I was convinced you were trying to claim ACC after mangling yourself on a wire in the boot of your car, this appears to not be the case.

An infortmative video I saw suggested it could be the 'dizzy cap'.

I hope it has full compatibility with that logitech g27 i bought so many months ago for 'the release' it and havent even used yet.

Ive heard that warranties are nigh on useless barring certain engine failure events, the companies try to make most things out to be 'wear and tear' and thus not under warranty.

11.4l/100 as long term average, on a long trip i usually average 9.7-10.2l/100.

I drove one off the road and down a steep bank, frontal impact on a shelf as i went over the bank around 60+kph (was doing 85 when went off the road- ice- but still my fault) then rolled numerous times and came to a stop upside down, passenger and I crawled out the broken windows, sum total of injuries - minor scratches from crawling on the glass out of the car, THATS IT. So i will definately be buying another one, even with the increased insurance premiums.
