Thanks! Is your avatar pic and sig pic the car with the springs? Looks to be riding at about stock ride height. Yes/no?

HI, I have a set of bilstein sport shocks on the car already but I'm looking for a drop with some springs. Not sure which H&R sport springs to go with. I checked with this site and they don't have a recommendation for a Touring since they didn't sell it in NA. So I'm not sure what model would be app...

I know the Panasonic model I have is a couple years on but it's served me well and I have no complaints.

no my pic but an example of the orange light.

Can you speak more on the crossovers you're using and how you wired them up? I need a set for my tweeters and I'm not sure what to use. Thanks!

Sorry, I'm not seeing the difference in the pics. Are you saying you want to paint the lower portion of that valence black? The portion around the muffler area and only up to the crease line ? If so, any can spray paint will work. Though I'd go for a satin trim paint.

I'm pretty sure I've seen them flex in a strong wind.

abrahamsmotorsport.com also has them. They have the Kopi version with the rounded lip. Also heavy and soft. Though they look nice when clean.

I think Recaro SRD's look the best in e30's. http://my.prostreetonline.com/photos/data/500/RecaroSRD2.jpg Though they are discontinued, I think the new ones are called Speeds. BMW Vader seats from an e36 fit too but they're a bit wider. http://www.eurosporthighperformance.com/Images/M3_For_Sale/Pass...

cuft = cubic feet

that's not going to work with a MTecII front spoiler since the Mtec is flat all the way across. That splitter is designed for IS lip spoilers.

Copied and pasted from an older post of mine. Very happy with the quality of the product and the quality of light being outputted now. I bought my HID's from this place: http://www.ddmtuning.com/ap55wwesa.html http://www.ddmtuning.com/hidkihidbuhi.html Great quality and great price. I bought the 600...

nice setup. What's the round thing with the white circle in the last pic?

Great quality and great price. I bought the 6000K headlights and am really happy with the color and output.

Are you talking about part number 3? http://www.realoem.com/bmw/diagrams/v/c/9.png No. Description Supplement Qty From Up To Part Number Price Notes 01 FRONT APRON 1 51711945559 $117.28 02 SPOILER FRONT 1 51711968488 $193.07 03 CLAMP SCHWARZ ? 51711945568 $0.56 03 CLAMP WEISS ? 51711979334 $0.56

Just get one in Canada. Plenty to be had. I got one,. 10-15 running in our city alone. Way cheaper to import across the border and get it federalized.

I think it's made out of ABS plastic. ABS can be reconstituted and as strong as original by simply welding more ABS to it. To make an ABS "glue", cut up pieces of ABS and mix that in with acetone or the chemical MEK. The pieces will melt and turn into a sludge. That sludge can be applied to the crac...

ugh, I hope you hadn't. I love how the Clarion looks in the dash but I hate how it operates. Real stupid things designed into it and frustrating to use. Hopefully it isn't the same in this model, but on mine, it wasn't able to go through all the song tracks. I mean if you were on track 20 of a 20 tr...

Literally purchased a set for the headlights and for the fogs yesterday. This is supposedly a legit company, talked to them on the phone.

Cheap too. $55 for the kit.

I want to lower the car and I'm wondering what specific set of H&R's and Bilsteins will work with it. Someone was telling me that with a touring the extra weight could cause a problem? I sound really dumb right about now but if anyone could post examples of their setups, it would be greatly apprecia...

What is hooked up to the speakers in the front kick panels? Do you have speakers there or did the PO take those out too? It's super easy to run new speaker wires to the fronts. Kind of a pain to get them to the back speaker pods.

what's the problem with the kit? Wrong year? warped? Sucks you can't add it on.

definitely not e21. Looks like a steering wheel from an old 7?

my touring just put up a fight. Drove the car to work today, no problem. Time to leave and she just cranks and cranks. Will not turn over. Sound like a faulty fuel pump? I checked the fuses, they all look good. I checked the relays, they all look good. Someone told me to swap the horn relay and the ...

not trying to bash but what is the benefit of 12 o'clock gauges? I know that in early race cars they would turn the dials to an angle so that redline was at 12 o'clock. Any particular reason why yours show naught at 12?

pics are working again. Yeah I tried laying a layer last night through the hole, was getting mixed results.

Yeah, sorry, site they're hosted on is being dumb. The pics will detail exactly what I'm saying. I created a box with five sides. Facing side open. I then made a speaker ring and hot glued it in place with some dowels. I then stretched some fleece over that and stapled to the box. Saturated the flee...

Build a 10" sub enclosure for the rear of the touring. Maybe I should have thought it through some more. I want to lay the glass from the back, should I cut the back panel off the box? Lay fiberglass through the speaker opening? Take off the fiberglass as one and join it back to the box after? Any t...

where do the cables go once they reach where the centre channel meets the seat shelf? I had a heck of a time trying to see if cabling will fit through there.

tad much don't you think ?

laquering them will help the color stay longer. I haven't and mine start to fade wear off after a 1 - 2 yrs which means I gotta respray them.

did the same thing with my green touring though I never thought about smoking the reverse lights. Post pics up with the lights on the car.

if you want to be lazy, like I was with my carputer, you could install a line filter. No more alternator whine for me.

I'm guessing you're painting the centers of your basketweaves charcoal grey or black? If you want the rims to stay silver then you can use painters tape to mask it off. You might want to mask off the back (inside the wheel) as well so the over spray or drips don't get everywhere.

My Panasonic units orange is bang on. Does MP3's has an AUXin for Ipod, has not let me down at all.

Here it is displaying red, but the orange is a real good match.
