To be PRECISE :), if you take Wattletree Road down from the city direction, past burke road, turn right at waverly road and you'll see it on your left :P.

Beware, do not wash your car there at 10.55pm. The thing will just switch off even though it says it closes at 11pm. The last time i had to drive off with foam all over my car :)

How bout just wash it by yourself @ the front of your place? lol

:thumbsup: yup, easiest to do it on your driveway....

and i'm not worried about water restrictions - a few minutes with a hose is not going to deplete the states water supply.

- get those dumb fockers who water their lawn for +3 hours in summer just to see it evaporate almost straight away... :banana:

Under the current "permanent water saving rules" you're allowed to wash your car with a normal hose so long as it's fitted with a trigger nozzle

Vehicle cleaning

Cars, boats and other vehicles can be cleaned using a hand-held hose, but only if it is fitted with a trigger nozzle. Buckets, watering cans and high-pressure water cleaning units can also be used.

Yeah i thought of that too, but there wasn't any tap.

I doubt at a car wash place they will actually place a tap there for people to use for FREE.

what?? there is a friggen tap there you can use for free!! right next to the tyre pressure thing... how can you miss it? as soon as you drive in its right infront of you!!

zomg

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
