  1. The Ali headers are down to $500 shipped https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005003623706153.html?ug_edm_item_id=1005003623706153&pdp_npi=2%40dis!NZD!NZ%24 378.90!NZ%24 329.65!!!!!%402102f7a016685056090411001da245!12000026542908933!edm&edm_click_module=alg_product_1_8775622640&creative_img_ind=1&tracelog=rowan&rowan_id1=aeug_edm_23868_1_en_US_2022-12-05&rowan_msg_id=deviCOWS_23868_%24cc55364c656d4920b065c11794e69f04&ck=in_edm_other&gatewayAdapt=Pc2Msite
  2. Yep works a treat, I do 3k just to be sure. Or driving around at 50-60 in second/third if you're just commuting to give them a clean out every now and again.
  3. Yep that's correct, operating on no sleep is bad kids.
  4. FCP euro, was $350Nz delivered during lockdown. Probably be cheaper in the Balck Friday sale tomorrow
  5. That's either Pandoras box or a great deal
  6. I need another filter so happy to buy one off you if you buy the pack lol Otherwise I'll get the pack, think one filter was $20NZ on fcp euro before shipping. Good deal.
  7. Price is for one tail light only. Very misleading auction by that seller.
  8. There's usually 20-30 though that slowed down the last few months. The free selling yesterday has brought a few out of the woodwork. That le mans blue manual in Porirua 🤦
  9. Yeah I have a weird ring effect as well. I'm not brave enough to do a home lens replacement haha
  10. It definitely needs a road trip or two, just gets run around Welly. All bulbs were in there, I was surprised too 🤣
  11. It's got replacement halogen bulbs inside which aren't stock, my guess is they're giving off a bit of heat and over time have slightly distorted/damaged the inside of the lens. Or something else has got in and caused some corrosive damage, but that seems unlikely.
  12. Yep for the 130. I've seen the lenses online and had read about them being replaced. I was going to do that myself, I have another kit with multiple levels of sandpaper here atm and then was going to buy some 2k clear. But the lens is pitted inside so figure a new lens would get the best finish. I've got a voucher for a pro place that can do the headlights, so I might just take it there and see how it turns out if they can take a fair bit of sanding.
  13. Anyone know if this is available, or someone who does it in the Wellington region? I've done my headlights previously with a kit and they've yellowed again, was thinking of taking them to a pro but the plastic is in rough shape and probably would be better off getting a new lens put on if that's possible.
  14. Bit of an update, have acquired more parts courtesy of FCP Euro including a new accessory belt and tensioner, replacement power steering reservoir with fluid as preventative maintenance and an oil cooler gasket kit for a slight leak from the cooler. I haven't fitted anything yet, nor any of the pile of mechanical parts and cosmetic bits I've accumulated previously. One day 😅 Will start working on small bits with the weather improving. But I have recently fitted new to me stock tail lights courtesy of @Angelo At the last WOF couple months ago it passed with no issues, though noted there was water in the right tail light. Turns out there was crack in it and some damage, not sure when that happened. Previous owner home tinted the tail lights and it hasn't aged well, I'd been planning to replace them at some point with Dark lines but they're quite hard to find. As it so happened @Angelo had his old set of tail lights so I snagged them as an ideal replacement and they've worked a treat. A massive improvement on the back end, really freshened up the look of the car and de-aged it. Plus no more water ingress.
  15. Seems about right, add another 5k for a manual conversion and it's in the ballpark.
  16. Have done nearly everything attached to the engine(or have parts to) except DISAs and Waterpump(already done) in less than 10k kms 🤣😭 Car had 176k on it and had been well maintained with service history for the previous 100kish kms it had been in NZ.
  17. Up to 2.5k now, pushing the budget out 🤣
  18. FedEx shipping charges based on volume and weight, springs are bigger and heavier than arms. You're looking at a default $50 shipping to start on anything that has a little bit of weight to it.
  19. Shipping price hasn't changed, was always $80-100 and it gets here in a week FedEx fully insured. That's why you do a big order 😂
  20. M3 control arms are back in stock at a reasonable price on fcpeuro, earlier they were $350US https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-control-arm-kit-5-piece-m-upgrade-bmwmcakit
  21. I have Ohlins adjustables in mine, though I don't know how that would stand up to rally stages. Certainly a substantial upgrade over stock M-sport Suspension. https://www.ohlins.com/product/road-track/1-series-2004-2011/
  22. Saw it pop up on my trademe search and recognised it immediately, still such an epic car. Hoping you get all the money for it!
  23. Bit of a late reply, discovered I'm not getting notifications from bimmersport at all. Definitely my old car, lovely drive and @Brianr70 is a great guy as well!
  24. I would have been keen on this too Edit : this definitely won't fit my car lol Will pass. These grills are so hard to find
