Hi mate, I've an HID kit installed on my projector head lights and they're a good improvement on vision, but I don't recommend them. They produce a lot of glare and hot spots.

R32's have H3C and H1 headlights. Never heard of them having H2's.

yeah, depends how DIY you are, but Ronin's DIY thread is killer if you want REAL projectors in there.

other parts can be sourced from hidplanet.com or something like that. Bosch/Hella are probably the base lamps for most the OEM projectors

If you're planning on doing a retrofit on an r32 and not sure if you want to attempt it after reading ronin's thread, I think skybarge will be posting up a tutorial soon. He's doing a bi-xenon conversion. Can't wait till he gets it up.

yeah i'm doing my retrofit slowly at the moment :rolleyes:

just spend $4k on a holiday over New Years for me and the gf, so yeah :S it'll be January before I get the testing done on them :(

I'll get some more pics up in the next couple of weeks, just waiting for a new grinder blade and some plexiglass for the lenses/shrouds, then the cutting will begin :)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
