Somebody is going to have a new set of wheels soon. Cant wait for pictures.
Was concerned that the wheels I bought to go 8.5 squared weren't holding air. Turns out the slow leak in one was repaired very easily (a tiny pinhole somehow was causing a leak). Easy fix from a wheel repair place. Other seems OK. No need to buy new ones.
I thought you jumped on the group deal for the new apex wheels.
I was as a placeholder (they said it was ok), but I didn't need it. I really like those wheels, but I have others things I need more.
New wheels? Eh? Do tell.
Pics?!
did you fix the exhaust problem that you were having?
I didn't get the new wheels... no need as the 8.5s I got to go square is holding air after the fix. I haven't had time to delve into that exhaust "whistle" yet. Next up is installing that Kicker sub. :rockon
I saw this and thought of you. Do you have it?

Thanks for the heads up! Funny thing is William and I were literally talking about that just the other day. I likely won't get it though, a little pricey for a minor convenience. It's pretty cool though so I'd get it if cheaper.
Heiu and a I worked all day to install my 'new', 500W Kicker subwoofer that I got for a good price from e46f.c. Many thanks again to orange260 for the advice in buying all the parts and the main components. And huge thanks to Heiu for the long day of work, in which we never even had a chance to get food. It was worth it as it sounds great.

You're welcome, Rando, and I'm happy to hear you finally got it in.
How does it sound top up, top down? With different kinds of music? How high are you setting the gains on the Kicker amp?
That Kicker amp is tiny, it looks about 1/2 the size of my Rockford Fosgate. If it's good, I may want to buy one - mine is hard to fit properly because of the physical size.
Congrats! Now you can rock the 'hood listening to gangsta rap. Or some 2 Live Crew.
Awesome John!! I bet that sounds Sweet!!
Heiu is there anything you don't know about BMW's?
Nice job on the install, you'll be thumpin' into some beach tennis tourneys now! Nice assist Heiu and Ayan (Orange...). Like it??

All, we muddled through using the BSW install guide and then forums for when we got stuck. Fairly straightforward, but like VANOS, it's a lot of steps and it takes awhile. Would be much faster the 2nd time. I'll post a pic of the view from the inside later. Still needs a little fine tuning on the install, etc.

:drool
Yay didnt need me. Wasnt looking forward to having to attempt another sub install.
LOL. BTW, to add to my thread (was focused on the sub), thanks to Carbon for fashioning me some splitter plates so quickly! And Heiu delivered them when he came to help with the sub. (Pics shortly). Carbon, Heiu said they were $100 so if he gives you less than that he's pocketing some coin. :biggrin.

Haha I think he may have made the trip worth his time. Not sure why I included the screws but I suggest putting some pilot holes in the plate first. Then they bolt up nice. These new ones are so much better than the old ones that just came off. Metal is much nicer. Better shapes. Still have tons of metal is anyone else needs them.
John are these basically skid plates for the splitters?Quote:

Looks good. Did you get tired of the "ZHP" badge ?
Had to re-set one of the letters and it stopped sticking well. I so then I had to be extremely careful washing near it so I got tired of that, and it not holding exactly where I put it. So instead of re-applying glue, I removed them all.
i would just use double sided tape. that thing holds my emblems/plates on with no problems lol
Which double sided tape do you use? I've tried 3M on other things and it doesn't seem to hold as much as I'd like. As for the letters, I'm fine w/o them. It would be too much trouble to cut the tape the size of the letters, etc.
the grey one with the red wax paper. that one always works well to me. if i were to pull off my plate right now, it would be bent to hell lol you just gotta clean the surfaces you're going to use it on though. then when you stick it on sort of like move it back and forth after it's on (like what you would do with velcro i guess) and it should be good.
yeah when i did it for my 330ci emblems it took a little while i guess. i just put a piece on then go around it with a razor following the letter/number. it was totally pointless cause i have the csl trunk now, so i can't even use it. the letters are still in room somewhere.
Did my thermostat this past weekend. Not hard at all. Having the electric fan only made it even easier.
Nice work John! The mechanical fan delete is so worth that alone.
:thumbsup I just wish these cars had a regular one without all that extra piping they force us to buy.
Did my CCV today. Symptoms: rough idle at times, grey smoke coming out of exhaust, oil leak (could be separate). The smoke got really bad and very consistent. Took things apart yesterday, buttoned it up today. Thanks to Wyatt for some text advice/encouragement, and a HUGE thanks to William for coming over to help. He thought taking off the intake manifold was a good idea to look deeper into the source of the oil leak. Fortunately we found a LOT of oil all over the place, the bad CCV really did a number on leaking oil inside the intake and all over the internals. So we cleaned as much as we could out, William was a huge help with the little fixes that help make it a job done right. The car fired up right away, with a lot of grey smoke still, with some oil even coming out the exhaust. Slowly it dissipated. Took the car out on the freeway to burn off what had gotten in there that we could not clean, and (fingers crossed) there is no smoke coming out of the exhaust at all! Might take some time to be sure, but I'm definitely pumped at doing this job a saving a ton of money. It's not hard, but getting to the CCV hoses is a REAL PITA. Removing the manifold definitely helps, but it's not necessary. In my case, removing it made a huge difference, finding all the oil. Very glad to have Ness back and running clean.

Nice work guys! Was the ICV dirty too?
Thumbs, iPhone, Tapatalk.
I do not envy you with the CCV job. Hopefully it was not too painful.
Wow you guys showed that CCV!! Good work John and William!!
