majority of cars on the road dont have stock rims do they? but pits can tell u to put stock ones on to pass..

my experience: the guy at the pits said to me i need permits and then goes on to tell me there is a 2 month waiting list.

meaning: if i dont put it back to stock, by the time i get permits and fix a few other things, high chance car would be un registered.

not all mod's are 'illegal' per say, u just need permits and depending on which inspector u talk too, they will tell you some police officers will hand out yellow stickers wether u have permits or not.

in saying that, now yellow sticker is off im looking into getting some permits - the way i see it, the engineers should be a bit happier to give me permits without a yellow sticker on my window :banana:

Got a set of stock R32 wheels with pirellis and a set of R34 stock wheels with Ling Longs at the shop Tim :(

Ahh wicked man, if I could borrow a set of those sometime next week it'd make my life so so so much easier.

Also Pal by springs do you mean you've got the whole suspension unit/thing or just the springs? Since I've got a set of stock suspension with lowering springs but I'm looking for the most stock suspension I can possibly find after today's "you are not allowed hard suspension" talk from the pits. Or, if you've just got springs man, my old suspension's preeeeetty useless so I'd be happy to donate my bits to form an entirely stock set of coilovers for people to borrow =]

Cheers,

Tim

i need set of 18/17 wheels and tyres preferably matched to pass pits before wednesday 14th

i have a full set of standard struts for r32 gtst too if anyone needs them

contact 0423 187 115

cheers guys

i ask for 17/18s because of my low exhaust clearance, trying to get the car sitting as high as possible.

Oh ok cool Pal could I borrow your springs then man? Since lowering springs=fail...

Also will you want to hold onto anything of mine while I've got 'em? Since I mean... You could in theory have my coilovers, but that'd mean I'd have to change it all over pretty much on your driveway.

^^ dont make much sense dude

set of 17/18's? what on? an r32? why do u think ppl ask for stock rims? u cant always pass pits with rims to big/too wide.

also if ur worried about rim size for exhaust clearance, ur car is too low.

my coilovers wound up are higher then standard items and exhaust is the only issue, because of its poorly made design its sits low. all good for flow etc. but it just sits way to low. if i could afford another catback exhaust id more then happy throw money at people to do this.. but i simply dont at this time being unemployed and let off from my apprenticeship..

I have a 2.75" catback off my 32 that is lying around doing nothing. Welcome to see if it sits any higher.

Aslong as you bring it back.. UNLIKE THE GUY I LENT MY FRONT BAR TO :)

i see what u mean as i saw u few days ago and ur car was so low the exhaust was sparking as u were driving down the road :happy:

my teins also can go higher than stock, but they fail u on anything that is adjsutable that wasnt adjsutable factory, soooo (depending how nice the inspector is) adjustable coilovers prob wont pass dude, if u want to borrow full set of stock r32 ones let me know.

    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 馃槀馃槀 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
    • A pretty cool little feature discovered while restoring my seats.     
    • Great write ups / details / photos. I'm sort of on the road to E90 ownership (325i or 330i), haven't hit the fork in the road yet "Yes" | "No", and some of the issues you've faced have me nervous for the age these are getting to nowadays (that wiring, jesus), but I'm guessing the pro's of ownership are still outweighing the con's? Of course, if the bloody tattslotto ROI actually went my way...E90 M3. And I'd have the cash to do all the extra lovely maintenance THOSE require. 馃槃
