Sheer Driving Pleasure :inlove:

Will post more pics when I have some more. Need to redo the angel eyes LED's. One of the wires for the connectors pulled out so I've had to re-fit the stock ones. Got the LED's from Electroman near Clearwater, so I'm going back today to see if they'll replace the connector.

Fitted new bright white bulbs for the fogs last night. No more yellow...

full exhaust for our cars i got quoted at 2500,so go from there

full down pipe as i said in pm from 1800 onwards plus 350 for the new flex pipe

 

[Nikhil]

Do straight pipes from the front to back :rollsmile: and just put a nice tailpiece, no need for back pressure on a turbo car:nonono:

 

[spawn616]

thats what i got quoted since i asked for exactly that

what the hell is back pressure good for these days,its not the 1950's anymore

 

[ChefDJ]

Where do you guys recommend? Xcede quoted me about R5500 for full exhaust plus downpipe

 

[spawn616]

tbh 4k is probably the lowest ul find,so 5500 isnt to bad,try noise boys ,

Ag I suppose I'll have to let it go for now until I have the funds ready again. Tomorrow's service is gonna cost a pretty penny.....

The joys of owning an E39 :fencelook:

 

[ChefDJ]

Got brakes today, pads and discs. Pads are Febi Bilstein, discs are Meyle. Cost me 2k. Filters are sitting at the workshop, ready and waiting. Those cost 1.7k. Dunno how much the full synthetic oil is gonna be...

:fencelook:

Dunno how much the oom is gonna charge me for labour either...

 

[S1NGH 001]

My 525 only did 7000kms last year, did a service in January this year, cost R6400. You should be looking at approx R700-R1000 for labour :thumbs:

 

[ChefDJ]

Ahhhhh but fear not :thumbs: the guy is family haha. Never used to charge labour on the Jetta. But I think the BMW might be a bit of a different story. I also want him to plug in the pc and do diagnostics for me

 

[S1NGH 001]

Did you buy new wear sensors for the pads ?

 

[S1NGH 001]

Looks stunning :inlove:

 

[ChefDJ]

:ty::ty::ty:

 

[ChefDJ]

Yep. Only needed one apparently. Not doing rear brakes just yet. The sensor was something like R81.00...
