The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[az3579]

I think any of the hex nose are going to be subject to rusting, where the bullet nose removes that “pocket” where water can sit. I wish I had bullet nose for that reason, but I just make sure to get the air gun (read: electric leaf blower) on there when I’m drying off the car after a bath.

I have Apex brand hex nose studs, 75mm I think. They’re way too long for my preference without spacers, but look nice when the spacers shorten the amount of exposed thread.

I took mine off after only a few months. A few studs got severely stuck to my hub (and some had stuck nuts as well). I had to take the car to a tire shop to extract them.

And that was just Blue Loctite, which should be removable with hand tools.


Never again. Wheel bolts from here on out!

does anyone know what the deal with the DEPO LED clear sidemarker lights for Sedan in AMBER color is? i had them on my sedan and loved them but sold them when i did the conversion.

id like to get them for the wagon now but i cant find them anywhere.

i can find the WHITE led version but not the amber. there is one seller on EBAY that has them but they have them listed af $333 s oit sounds like there may be some type of back order and they are just trying to find an idiot that will pay that much for side marker lights.

these are the $333 ones that im looking for but for the normal price of $50ish dollars.

I would contact them to see if the price was posted in error. That doesn't sound right...

Those are nice! Def what I was looking for. Hard to tell the difference between those and the Macht Schnell ones, which William (and Hieu) use and I like.

i did and they wrote back that they purposely put it up that high when their vendor is out of stock and when people message them about it they tell them to add it to the watch list so that we will all see the price go down when it comes back in stock....


what a weird procedure.

At least they're semi transparent?

I've read sellers do this when they're out of town/on vacation as it saves on fees for relisting or some other eBay fee structure voodoo (I've never sold there). Who knows, someone might buy at that price!

Makes sense to me. I sell on eBay and they’re not very friendly toward sellers.
