Forrest 35 Report post Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) I now have a working short shifter. I now have a working battery kill switch. I now have a working ignition switch. I now have a spare black bonnet to do flat black. I now have wheels and tyres to get sent to me next week. I now have instruments new and old replaced and wired in. I now need to wire up my favourite gauges (again). I now have a MSNZ rated fire extinguisher to mount, but where?? I now have a PFL Lip painted Flat Black and stone chip coated and fitted with cable ties. I now need to order my dished suede steering wheel. I now have a modded air box complete with foam and duct tape. I now have a date sometime next week to get the hi flow exhaust put in. Pics to come people. (Just thought I would mix up the flow of my updates this time ) Warrant on Monday Edited March 20, 2009 by Brams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Dean and Jon. Dean, I went with the ones Antony was selling (15x7), black center spoked with polished dished lip should look aiite when I get some r888's slapped on them Will do mate, will let you know when I get a warrant (Hence removing anything racer like in last photo, euro plates and rear seat installed etc haha). Yeah Jon I just drilled some holes to line up where the old FL mount holes were then just cable tied the bastard. Looks pro as, is really low now, scrapes everywhere haha Max, the thing on the Rad pipe is the custom water temp sender I bought for my gauges. BTW M40 FTMFW haha. Thanks for the comments guys.

Mattzy 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 I just respray my panels with primer. No mess, no fuss. I love ghetto. I might never paint my car for this reason Cars looking good dude. Got pics of the wheels your putting on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forrest 35 Report post Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) Here: http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....l=15+x+7+wheels won't have them for a week or so tho, then can get r888's delivered fast as, so will set up. Wheels look like they need just a bit of autosol and a respray of gloss, should be a piece of cake to get them looking good again.

huff3r 347 Report post Posted March 23, 2009 VTNZ? Isn't that asking for a fail around here? I've heard some bad stories... (Failed my dad's 04 territory for excessive handbrake travel when it was at the preset factory standard?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Failed my dad's 04 territory for excessive handbrake travel when it was at the preset factory standard?) Probably, but with my dad going in there for 4 cars year round they may let me off a bit since they know him pretty well. Where else would anyone recommend to take a e30 race car??
