Tristan 338 Report post Posted November 7, 2010 Fairly sure I'm going to go for some LMs or LM reps. How much would a cert for spacers + spacers cost, to make an ET35/40 wheel fit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted November 7, 2010 Cert is $400 Spacers new are around $150ea last time I was looking. Deals pop up on trademe though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) May be more expensive since the E39 Hub size is larger and will need to convert down to E36 size on the wheel side, so the spacers hubcentric for the cert. Pretty sure Hyper in Pensrose can get them made though? Try ringing them.... Edited November 7, 2010 by Blackie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tristan 338 Report post Posted November 8, 2010 Sweet as, Zenetti. I've got 2 jobs atm sorting the third .. Haha busy holidays coming up. - Unfortunately I've got no idea how much new years is going to cost otherwise I'd be coming in to you guys! Oh well, we'll see how things go! Also went into TMC BMW today, $230.00 for bonnet/boot roundels + 4 wheel centres. Extortion! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tristan 338 Report post Posted November 28, 2010 It's been awhile. Got a few things to update: -OEM HEADLIGHTS ARRIVING TOMORROW! -Black german plates with my actual plate on it arriving soon. -Exhaust being done tomorrow. Removing backbox, installing free-flow muffler and twin tips to fill OEM Bumper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2312 Report post Posted November 28, 2010 Cool, should look much improved Tristan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tristan 338 Report post Posted November 28, 2010 Thanks! The headlights arrived (shipped to Dad's office) He's bringing them home soon. Exhaust has been done. It had 2 or 3 mufflers so that's why it was so quiet. They put a freeflow one in closest to the tip, fitted a twin tip, and took out the other 1 or 2 mufflers. Sounds great, really happy with the result and in less than an hour and a half. Definitely recommend Woolf Mufflers. Will try post up some audios later.

nickchin1308 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2010 Car looks much better now! Must sound sweet, keen to hear some sounds of it. BTW noob question, is straight pipe same as freeflow? I seen some straightpipe E39 that sound pretty sweeet as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tristan 338 Report post Posted November 30, 2010 Car looks much better now! Must sound sweet, keen to hear some sounds of it. BTW noob question, is straight pipe same as freeflow? I seen some straightpipe E39 that sound pretty sweeet as well. Will stick up some drive-by vids soon. Straight pipe I'm fairly sure doesn't have a muffler at all and is straight from the headers(?) to the tip.. The E39 530s have a big U-Bend about halfway back and 2 mufflers. I'll stick up some pics of the underside of the car when the suns out. Matt, those mounting frames would be much appreciated. I can pick them up from you if you'd like? I managed to lose my plate parked in Mission Bay but some good c**t stuck it under my windscreen wiper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

39KiwiTouring 2 Report post Posted November 30, 2010 True true, you will need a warm hair dryer for at least a good half an hour to get that off, if they are chinese copies of the 3-d injection moulded badging they have green VHB, very high bonding adhesive which is exactly that. Best to probably leave it was it factory? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tristan 338 Report post Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) Na you ain't being a prick haha. I knew it was off but couldn't be arsed fixing as I thought it'd be messy but just did it in 2 minutes. Already had 2x side tape in my glovebox and a craft knife which I accidently took from work. Decided not to buy a new bike frame so that puts me $800 further towards wheels Seems to be unbranded welfare muffler If it's still too high (I think it might be?) let me know haha Edited November 30, 2010 by Tristan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
