^ updates is I'm slowly killing it. It's gonna be on stockys for a while and will probably lose the screamer soon. I have plans though, it should be repping a bit of retro coolness when they are put into motion (money permitting).

I should be out at lala again for the next prac though. I'd like to have my seat in by then and some solid mounting of the cradle would be nice but I doubt I'll get around to that.

Seat is in and I grabbed a 30mm bosskit spacer as well. Bloody hell it feels good to drive now. Locked in place with the Bride and being able to get a near perfect driving position with the steering wheel nice and close makes it a joy to throw around. Even though no mechanical mods were done, I reckon it's easier to catch slides and feel what the car is doing.

Bring on July 6th :)

The other bloke from Jack Baker has a 4door very similar to this one, it was probably him.

The screamer is a novelty at times, but I don't like announcing to the world that I'm giving my car shit every time it hits full boost :lol: and I also don't want it to be heard 5km away if I'm giving it curry through the hills.

Slight update

Car is getting quietened up next week, getting the screamer replaced with a 3in bellmouthed dump/front, and getting an extra muffler put into the exhaust.

I also should have aero sorted for it by next week, and hopefully next weekend it should be ready for fitment, although I'm still deciding whether or not to wait until my rims arrive.

On the topics of rims, Yahoo auctions eats my money :P I have a pair of 16 x 8 +20 SSRs on the water, and have just bid on a set of 16 x 8/8.5 Weds meshies :)

I've seen a few nice 16 x 9s but haven't had the coin thus far, and it looks like the 16 x 10 -1 SP1s were a freak discovery, as I haven't seen anything in 10j since ;)

Missed out on the Weds, but theres a very tasty pair of SSR formula meshies in 9J +12 I shall be having a crack at :D

I also niggarigged the front lip up for a laugh, and f**k me it looks ghetto fabulous. I'm tossing up whether to paint it up or not, as it looks quite cool in black. I'll get some pics in a minute or 20.

Wing is sitting in a coat of clear so I could probably fit it all up as is, but the original plan was to paint the lip.

    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
    • Man, I miss having a phone that fits into my hand!  
    • The speed this thing starts up is making me want to replace my old one. Though my old one immediately kicks into reverse camera as soon as reverse is engaged, it's clearly not part of the android system. For everything else though, starting up, connecting to hotspot, opening maps, starting music in spotify is easily a ~2 minute affair.
    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
