Just had my rears done!

Marko, get Luke to flair them out a bit, doesn't matter if your paint cracks, cos your painting your car matte black yeah? :banana:

haha that was the idea ;)

paint is stuffed anyways so fk if i care, but still undecided on colour. matte black is still on the options list tho haha.

I'm flaring my guards at the moment but the paint is cracking. I can't say it won't crack with a roll but it shouldn't as I'm putting heat into the metal. Just don't blame me if it cracks.

Cheers

ey luke, got a pic ?

wanna see how badish it cracks

LOL Lukey, you're hardcore gangsta.......................when you're not being Spew Boy!!

He only puked because his superhuman digestive system detected some xanax and rohypnol and his ubermenschen instincts caused him to retch the vile filth back up, lest he be molested by some unholy fiend

-D

i've got a roller too and i would strongly advise against rolling front guards as the metal is thin and not overly well supported and you'll more than likely warp the guards. to fold the front guard lips up use a rubber mallet and tap them up or do it the proper way with a dolley

shotgun next :rofl:

haha if youre still keen,

i was after only a bit of flare on mine if you get em rolled... nothing serious coz the 33's have the stupid flat body line over the wheel arch opening and i dont want it to look too out of place coz of that.

might get you to do my whole car IF i get it back anytime soon, would like to fit 235s on the front without scrub

what size rims you got man? iv got 235/45 R17's with no rubbing. thats on 8 or 8.5 inch front rims,cant remember exactly what size.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
