  1. Because I got them really really cheap.
  2. I meant driving down the driveway to move it out of the way.
  3. I am not driving on them, I just put them like that to show what they look like. Thanks for the offer by the way but I am just going to get my money back on them.
  4. Update have sorted it for $160 + gst now! I think. See how we go. Sorry Johno. Can anyone come over today and help me change my brakepads by the way? Here is how the wheels look and I do really want to keep them.
  5. Yeah pretty much Lucan. I just spoke to Johno at Mag and Tyre Direct (you are a legend) and he put me on to Wheel Fix It who can machine the bore on a lathe. The only problem is that this will cost me $220 including pulling off the tyres and putting them back on and balancing them and such. If anyone can get a discount on machining them you are a champion.
  6. They don't fit. Quite angry because when I bought them I was told specifically by the seller at the parts place that they will fit my car. They go on but as soon as you drive they are all over the place wobbling like crazy. I am taking them back and I am going to shout lots. Is there a way to make these fit on my car. Can I make the bore bigger or change my hubs to E38s?
  7. Yeah have sorted it out Just going to get money together again first.
  8. Just got some new rims today, picking them up tomorrow and putting them on the car on Thursday. They are 18in style 32s on 235/60/ZR18 tyres with heaps of tread. The rims are in good condition, minimal curbing, a little bit of yellowing on the fronts from brake dust so they will need a good scrub. I am going to paint them a nice gloss gray and change the tyres to 215/40/ZR18s. Hopefully these new wheels will aliviate some of the 4wd look of the car because it is looking a bit strange at the moment. Also have begun building a custom subwoofer and amp enclosure in the back with a bandpass sub box and a single 12", the enclosure will cover the back of the boot entirely with the sub on the left and behind a plexiglass cut out will be the monoblock amp running it and the carpet of the box is going to match that of the boot to give it a factory look. This is the rims on the car they are on atm
  9. New rims 18in style 32s on 235/60/ZR18s
  10. I saw this on Facebook uploaded by Platinum wheels a few hours ago, I really like it eh, I would have added white into the wheels though, maybe a white lip or something Idk, actually, a black lip. Nice car, who cares about any hate you get, as long as you like it.

    vtech tool box

    V-tec isn't all bad. For what power they can put out for motor size, you have to admit it is impressive
  12. Will go on a mission to the garage with my phone and see what I can do bro. The Reactors are installed in the Mazda atm but I am pulling it out because we are selling that also.
  13. No camera atm. Getting there.
  14. I can see enough of the screen to read Brake Li but not the rest, it isn't the lights, I think it says brake liners, brake lines or brake lining
  15. Can someone help me do the brakes on my E39? My little dash screen says 'Check Brake (something I can't read because my screen is had it)' I don't know how to do brakes on a BMW, I assume it is like a normal car though, I have a suspicion that it may be the brake rotors because I think that was mentioned in the AA report I got when I purchased the vehical. Any help to do them will be greeted with a free dozen beers Of your choice

  17. Did you see that ad, it was definitely and inspired piece.
  18. Do you just run the wires for a DICE unit to th glove box for the iPod control? Whats the best way to run this? Under the back seat, under the carpet to the center console and up through there or along the passenger side of the car under pieces of trim and carpet?
  19. Keen, how much? With tyres?
  20. AG 100? Really? Unless youre doing something insane with it, I am not liking it. I put a 400cc ninja motor into a KX 80 a while back.
  21. Do it right Yeeeeahh buddy
  22. Straight pipe But really, in the end, the straighter your exhaust, the better your flow so the better it's going to be, it's just working to keep it under 92dB that is the hard part
  23. First off, wtf is pinging?? Because that just immediatly makes me think of ping pong. And second, I run 91 because it's cheaper and I get between 7.8 - 9.1km/l in the suburbs and on the motorway I get around 10.5 - 15km/l. I don't have a sticker so I just went with the option that doesn't see my car physically consuming my wallet.
