You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

They only make a handful of decent looking ones if it's for the 5 series u need big wheels to look any good anyway which there is less of. Just leave it as is

true, saw one on 22s... LOL

Gonna put it out there

All BMW wheels look the same to me

agreed.

also BMW people are a very strange breed. very very strange.

they seem to be incapable of acknowledging other makes lol.

With GM retiring all the reps wanna rock black wheels on their company cars now - he had/has a ban in place because he despises black wheels that much. When he ordered his S5 he paid extra to have the base model A5's smaller / non black wheels put on it lol

I've always wanted push button indicators on the steering wheel where they usually put the remote volume controls - anyone know if this has been done in a car that isn't a million dollar supercar?

Really liked that about the 34 auto; placement of the tiptronic buttons

Well without context it's hard to say I'm going to assume that you talk like that to each other regularly so although he is out of place it's tricky to tell him off as you've created that environment.

Flip side it's a strictly professional environment and dialogue in which case official warning and move on hope he learns a lesson.

Dude it's not a 33...

So I'm down to 428 or 435 struggling to separate the two aside from price difference as the 428 by all reports is just as good and only .6 sec slower to the 100kms but 4 cylinder feels ghey.

Or should I just accept that's the way of the world now turbo whipper snipper motors?

Side note would prefer the Lexus but nobody seems to be buyin em so I'll dodge a future sc430 scenario

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
