Yeh of course manaul is better. but when you find a lude with 130k on the clock, and if its in decent condition, and its $8500, that's $10k cheaper than I bought my manual lude for (three years ago),...

yourfather you are seriously a dick... I too have only heard of slight problems with the tiptronics on the 5th gens, but never any problems that warrant the need for a gearbox rebuild.. All the...

Thanks mate, it was definitely the hardest and most time consuming project I have done so far, but by far the most rewarding..

I just checked out ur DIY console mod, great write-up! Looks really...

^^ thats more like it. Thanks for clarifying.

Ive used BMW E46 Bi Xenons from a 2004 M3. Ballasts, bulbs, ignitors also from the same M3

Here are a few pics.. Im taking them apart in a couple of weeks to lay carbon fibre on the inside.

Yeh as far as I know you cant just get a key "cut"

With the sale your friend should have gotten an extra Red key which is basically a spare that can be programmed to the car. You have to take it...

xforce headers->Magnaflow 2.5" high flow cat ->Tanabe Hyper Medalion 2.3" catback.... ftw.. Im glad I went this way, price vs power the xforce headers do pretty well with high flow, and the Tanabe is...

Its been a while since Ive done anything with them. Ive been busy with a bi xenon projector retrofit with HID, which looks really good with the fogs.

I want to basically buff up the carbon fibre...

Hey I never thought I would say this.. but nice Commi! definitely one of the nicer ones Ive seen!

And great choice in the new car! your gonna love it.

That sounds right. I find it a lot easier (especially in our climate) to stick to around 1% catalyst.. It might take a while to dry, but at least you dont have to rush the application before it...

its fairly easy mate. Cut your fibreglass mat to size, get a kitchen scale out and weigh 100 grams of resin, and then add 1-2ml of catalyst. Someone back me up on that ratio, but from memory it seems...

Thanks mate, k from memory the electrical parts including wiring, wiring harnesses, LED's, collimators, LED drivers, heat sinks and switches ended up being about $320. There are definitely cheaper...

Glad you agree! This Nator guy doesnt come to many PA meets tho, so I havent seen his car in person yet.... lol!! hehe.

With regards to the kit... make a OEM kit piggy bank.. and put money into it...

Nator's car is the hotness :D

OEM kit is pricey but the quality is brilliant.. When I took off my front lip I was testing its flexibility, its unbelievable. Very tough and resilient. If you lower...

Im glad Ive inspired ya :D do some research first though to see similar LED products that can be used (ie ones that dont require separate power packs) as this could make it a little easier. I dont...

Thanks maaaang. NSW DIY crew represent!



Haha I'd commend anyone that would be willing to dish out the money for that, plus spending the time to build another 3-5 power supply units :p
But...

Yeh the blue LEDs are just for show, I have them wired separately so they dont come on unless I want them to for photoshoots or whatever.

Ive been driving around pretty much all the time with the...
