You like the looks of the Bini Paseman, so your opinion doesn't count to me. ;)

 

Touché!

[Ken]

Well here is my car finally. All under my name and I fixed the upper end of the engine due to it leaking oil everywhere. :)

Where the hell have you been, Ken?! :eek:

 

Let's see...

- Started living on my own.

- Jot a job since March and worked ever since.

- Fixed my car and got it working.

- Had a relationship, didn't work out too well...

- Hung out with the very few friends I have left.

- Help my parents with their new house.

 

Other things that I forgot, but that is pretty much it.

End result - you appear to have a cracking car there pal :) Looks like the american version of the honda crx del sol :rolleyes:

[Ken]

I've heard Ferrari, MR2, even Porsche to my car, Del Sol is a new one. :lol:

 

 

Yeah, I don't even understand how some people think I have a Porsche either... :confused:

[Guest MrLolololXD]

So when is the Ferrari 512TR bodykit coming? :p

[mau92]

Well, this is the "Porschiest" thing that comes to my mind...

With the new whip arriving at the end of next week, I've been doing a lot of research on retrofitting the "static" or adaptive bi-xenon headlights. I've already found all the parts that I need to buy straight from BMW or maybe on Ebay. I have also read like 30 threads just in English about doing the retrofit. There are heaps of threads on BMW forums in both English or German especially, but no one made a big DIY post. You just have to dig, dig and dig through the same questions asked by newbies to find a small piece of info you need, and that is freaking exhausting. What I have also learned is that probably installing the headlights, level sensors, cables and tailights is easier than coding which is very important. Otherwise lights will flickers and you'll get a million of errors in the ECU.

 

Thankfully, someone uploaded a super helpful PDF from BMW AG with instructions for retrofitting adaptive bixenons. HW parts cost about 1900 € according to BMWfans.info, an OEM parts catalog website. For coding, a €80 cable is needed as well as four BMW coding & diagnostic programs that I'm downloading now. Oh, and did I mention the 200+ page threads on BMW forums?

 

OEM parts:

- headlight washers (possibly, don't want to get a new bumper unless I make my dad buy the BMW Performance one :cheeky:)

- ECU footwell module 3

- xenon retrofit kit (level sensors, cables etc.)

- headlights (adaptive or not?)

- LED tailights (standard or Blacklines on the left?)

- light switch

 

SW:

- NCSExpert

- INPA

- WinFkp

- Tool 32

- OBDII INPA USB cable

 

I might do some coding on our 3 Series before doing any big things on the 1 Series. Digital speed or something. Or we'll find someone to install it for us.

first snow fun :)

[Guest MrLolololXD]

[Emir13]

Wow mate, it looks new now! Simply the best car ever ! :)

[calster17]

Seeing the progress you've made on your Supra makes me feel bad at how little i've done to my Civic :lol:

 

But alot of that is due to me being too lazy... :mhmm:

[Camel]

Wow, that looks awesome :drool:.

 

Wish I could afford to respray my car :(

[Ryzza5]

Are those old pics or did you not respray the rear bumper with the rest of the car the other month?

 

Looks great btw. Still waiting for you to tell me where you work so I can come get a quote for my bonnet.

[The Compensator]

Dat progress. Good work.

 

Have you already detailed it using the products that I want but have no money to actually buy? :p

[hassan1995]

Such a smexy car :drool:

Good work keep up the progress

[Margebadze]

fresh snow about 2 hours ago, still snowing :)

Snatched this set for €750. Don't know what we will do with the tires as we don't need them, the seller didn't want to sell us just the wheels. Basically the rims look like new, some little scratches here and there on the inside of the rims but these will be used in winter. HOWEVER! We don't know if the fronts fit, LOL. BMW says that staggered summer set does not fit, but they sell a winter set consisting of four front rims... Wish us luck on Monday. :hmmm:

[GTAMADDOG]

New-ish Potenzas? I'll happily take them off your hands for free :p

[The Compensator]

Well, if you want runflats... :cheeky:

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Only 7.5 inches wide on the rear? What size are the tyres?
