[odd_ball]

Lookin' grand man! Been waiting for some nice new pics of the car for ages. Any plans in line?

Duh, just realised why I couldn't see my message and re-posted... new page!

 

[peposhi]

Not much happening lately, mate.
I bought an amp and next month would be all about getting the best out of the current audio set up. It's pretty cool now, but hey there's always room for improvement

 

[odd_ball]

Can't be much room for improvement now? It's pretty sweet a it is, but then thats the thing when its your own isn't it, theres always something more to do...

 

[peposhi]

ha-ha, damn right you are
I do not see it as a finished product. Not yet, lol
Will keep you updated

 

[Shaun]

Those mirrors look nice! I nearly missed that update. Where they are from?

 

[peposhi]

Japan, Seb
I used Importmaster to get them for me.
Quality does not correspond with the money I paid for them, though

Thats the downside buying on YAJ after paying twice the shipping + the comission takes the deputy service .... cheap stuff becomes expensive and already expensive stuff become even more expensive...

Amen

Looking at a few things myself just don't know if I can justify spending the money

 

[peposhi]

Well I don't mind paying when the quality is good. Re those mirror I'd have thought differently had I seen them in real prior the buy. At least I'd have knocked 30% of the original price. That's the difficult thing when buying from Japan - not always turns up as it should...

Hey mate I've found the twin of your car on a japanese blog, scroll down and check the last picture of the page:

[peposhi]

Ha-ha, I've actually seen a very same one in town just 30km of mine

So we're now tHREEwins

 

[peposhi]

Funny enough it turned out that out of 110 people at work I was the only one with a set of jump leads in the boot. For the last 2 weeks I had to help out to 3 customers LOL

This guy couldn't believe it was a Micra out there that could bring his car to life:

As for that one:

...

...He didn't know there's no battery under the bonnet (neither did I lol), so he had to call his mechanic who gave me instructions...

 

[peposhi]

That's my friend Tommy's beauty...

He's driving the car back home after been caught driving a foreign car for more than 6 months in Ireland without registering it as Irish car... 2500 for VRT and 2500 for insurance(he's only 23)...It was too much, so he's bringing it back home...

 

[peposhi]

A little update...

Relay for the fog lights?

There was, but I'm not a mechanic, just a DIY man I've never had BMWs, so couldn't risk, plus the owner had not a single clue what's under the bonnet...

 

[Belly93]

oh i see lol i work in a garage thats the only reason i know and ive noticed alot of bm owners dont have a clue lol

 

[karlj]

and ive noticed alot of bm owners dont have a clue lol

I thought that was common practice

 

[Belly93]

but sayin that most people come into the garage dont have a clue?

 

[peposhi]

A little fun

The brake light at the bottom of the rear window is going to be converted to a fog light...

Ilegal to do in the UK, not sure about ireland, you better check with you MOT station

 

[peposhi]

The reason I have decided to do it is that I have a third brake light in the spoiler. And if it's not OK with the NCT guys I'll keep it as it is and run separate cables to power it when i need it
