    megaupload vs FBI

    No the DTM. Waay rarer.
  2. factory runs 5.25 so these shouldn't be an issue nor any aftermarket tweeters however for good sound improvement I would recommend going larger.There's plenty of room in e39 doors for 6.5s.
  3. Go the mighty R32 GTR! Amazing the little M3's could keep up! nice find! cheers for posting! Man I wish there was racing like this still.... 4 cly rwd vs. v8 rwd vs. 4cly turbo rwd vs. 4wd turbo 6cly

    E39 Headlights

    +1 hairdryer on low heat works a treat!
  5. I have just changed the front springs to lower the front as my rear is self leveling. Standard shocks. What you will find is that even older shocks if they are in reasonable condition will actually perform alittle better due to the deduced stroke from the shorter springs. Get the springs and a good wheel alignment. Take it for a test drive you might get away without changing the shocks.
  6. zimmermann supply BMW all the OEM fitted disc's. They also make slotted versions of the same rotor's. If you wanted just to upgrade the disc's? I imported a slotted set (front only) for the M5. Around $1500 if I remember rightly.
  7. bring back the V6 turbo's I say. in order of sound goodness: 1). v12 2). v6 turbo 3). v10 4). v8 Ant nothing like a full grid of angry F1 v10's a full noise.
  8. Ah hahahahahahahahahahahaha................. so much GOLD
  9. get up under there with a can of CRC. amazing what that can fix. What's the old saying? If it moves and shouldn't, duct tape it. If it should move and doesn't, CRC it. Two tools no man should be without.
  10. +1too staged. Didn't really achieve anything. hardly worth viewing...I got bored and did housework.
  11. I thought that was weird how they were all moving so slow since we never broke any speed limit. lol.I'll bring out the GTR if your down again, it makes the M5 feel like a 1979 corolla. Sorry I can't answer the noise question in regards to those tyres. Buy what you can afford and turn the stereo up?
  12. you already know my opinion on performance tyres jas. Goodyear asymmetrical or Bridgestone Adrenalin's both brilliant. I don't like to comment on anything I haven't tested personally. The Adrenalin's had plenty of grip down Cobham Drive didn't they?
  13. I'd mock up a box and see how it sounds. Your original issue was the sound quality. This design is a compromise on sound quality for space. I'm not saying it can't work, but you will need to be happy with the sound.
  14. Hey lookin good. My GTR is finally back after a second round of turbo rebuilds. Don't ask.
  15. Since you have changed the position of the sub as well as the box you will need to re-tune. Only if the box was identical in shape / volume / design would the settings still be right. I'd be sticking the ports in and running through a re-tune. Also... has the box build changed? ie- thickness of the wall material / interior material?
  16. I take it you have already tried playing with your x-over & gain controls on your amp? (sorry if im stating the obvious). Enclosure selection is as important as speaker selection with subs. There are programs available online that with your sub spec you can work out the perfect enclosure size as well as port size/length to maximum the sub performance. It could be that your old box was better suited to the sub than your new one. + those "ports" require some tubing to work properly. You can "tune" the sound through port size/length also. my 2c
  17. why doesn't it fit a e30? i take it wouldn't fit my GTR then?

    Trademe Scammers

    even paypal isn't 100%. saw this report about a kiwi girl sold a handbag to aussie. She setup paypal account, got the money so sent the bag.turns out the money was stolen and the paypal reversed the amount, and started chasing her for payment. of course the police couldn't be bothered actually going after the scammer.
  19. my god man. that's where they make awesomeness. barney must live there.

    Trademe Scammers

    usual is they will send you a cheque for more than the amount due. You need to use the extra to pay "shipping" or some other BS expense.they hope you will make the payment before you realise the cheque is fake. But there are variations we see alot too. stolen CC details, stolen money transfered from the victim to you to western union to them (so you become the mule account).

    Trademe Scammers

    I even got one to send me a bank cheque issued from the same bank I work at, he even mailed it to my work the idiot. At least he wasted his own coin on postage.
  22. does that building say "awesome base" ???
