ha ha....relax mate, i could put whatever front bar i wanted on, but ive got different priorities. If i wanted a car that looked good i wouldn't have bought a 33 in the first place. 242rwkw is where its at and more to come.

deluxe's modified 400r front bar is one i would have but prefer clean stock look.

haha yeh true my car looks just as stock at 222rwkw and hopefully 1 day around the 300 mark lols

no way do luck is cool gtr is also good but only on a gtr ^_^

well sorry but everyone has said how good my whole kit looks which includes my GTR front bar and rear pods i think they are hot but you dont get a whole GTR kit as it's not a GTR so YES your right by saying only on a GTR but thats when youn have a whole kit on a GTST

over time i've grown to like the standard look of an r33! there's nothing wrong with a standard s2 bar!

but this is mine before i put a gtr copy front on! would've got a s2 bar but they don't fit on s1 lights so i went with the gtr copy

That is sexy as dude, did that sit a decent amount off the ground?

Just on the subject of Front Bumpers, i have been told that with R33 GTS-t you cant put a aftermarket intercooler in coz the front bumper is not wide enough to fit. is this true? do i really have to upgrade to a GTR front?

Trust is a good frount bar but if you drive your car every day then i wouldnt put it on. I went trust frount bar,do-luck side skirts and trial rear bar. The kit sits low but i only drive it on the weekend plus iv got jap 19s so that helps aswell. Iv seen ugly r33s around in adelaide and thats because they go big kit and small ozzy offset rims or gay chrome rims. stock r33s can look very sexy aslong as they have the rims with the right offset. Also another thing is when ppl go show and no go ,iv got a full kit,carbon bonnet,ganadors gtr wing pumped and liped gaurds, custom blue paintjob(full rolling shell)but then iv got my rb25 getting a full rebuild with forged items and a gt35/40r il post pics of the hole car once its 100% complete.

Thats my 2cents

thats the spirit!!!

yea ive got the whole standard type m kit, nothing different on the outside other than +26 18 x 10's rear and +11 18 x 9 on the front with stretched tyres on work vs-xx. Im very happy with the way it looks. Tidy and keeps the cops happy. More concerned about more power which is only a stone fall away. But if youve got the cash to do the kit and power then even better if its done right! :) good stuff.

but ur type m kit isnt really considered a 'kit' lol prefer bunnys gtr whole kit looks much better

well it has proper plastic type m sideskirts, proper plastic front type m lip and proper plastic rear type m pods.

what the f**k do you call that?

its an option at the factory. bodykit or no bodykit.

its called the factory bodykit, just like your fag balls deep kits are called do-luck kits.

exactly, its like with the 31s, they're either stock or you got the GTS kit (different front bar, side skirts and rear bar)

Kit is kit.......much prefer the factory kits

BN/VERTEX/DO LUCK etc are all too extreme and overdone i think

Less is more

lol yea ok ur got a heaps cool 'factory' bodykit ahahaha

lol mate your a twat. i would love to discuss this further in person.

im not saying its cool, im saying its better than the gay shit going around...and why does my opinion about my bodykit mean so much to you anyway?

a kit either makes or breaks a car, majority of the time it breaks it because nothing fits properly, its warped and a bad combination of styles from front to rear. Feel Free to put whatever shit you want on your car mate, it doesn't bother me in the slightest, purely because it makes me feel so much better than i spent my money in the right spots and didn't waste it ruining a perfectly decent stock looking car.

nuff said. suck a dick :)

Edited by Ryanrb25

it doesnt meen anything to me im just saying bunnys kit look better than yours ahahaha im aloud to give my own opinions your the one that put your car in the spot light like its so hektic because it got 'factory' kit lol and learn yoga and u can suck your own dick twat. ahaha :)

    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
    • Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.
    • A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.
    • Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.
