  1. absolutely love what you're doing to it. i just had a look on carsales for the LS430 and you got a really good deal for yours!
  2. :( sorry to see this lee. hope the process goes smoothly.
  3. yeah save the money (spacers are not cheap anyway) on rims with the desired offset. the extra 15-20mm space can be better used for extra dish or concavity which look more aggressive.
  4. does it do it to all CDs? or just CD-Rs or MP3 CDs?
  5. wow some impressive features! and the materials in the interior looks fantastic.
  6. how is the key case for turning the key?
  7. looks pretty good. looks abit like subaru impreza and maybe abit bmw e90 at the bottom. but looks good
  8. agreed. some of the scenes were so unnecessary
  9. do it! haha or wait for the next m3 rumoured to have a tri-turbo I6 :D or get the pre-2010 135i, same 1M engine for half the price. but less aggressive exterior
  10. there have been a few crashed 1M cars reported online but this is worse: overkill-white-bmw-1-series-m-coupe-in-singapore WTF a preview:
  11. the evo looks awesome. and wow a lexus! it must be a big difference between the two cars.
  12. why are they like that? is there a spacer attached to the wheel? the centre hole large enough for the hub?
  13. next bmw m3 sedan with 6cyc tri-turbo http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=570925

      is that even official? i wouldnt be surprised though, since they are starting to downgrade the amount of cylinders they use in their supercars, such as the new m5.

  14. well, I found out the sex of my car :D after finally sorting out the coding to activate voice control. a female voice from the car speakers spoke to me! youtube vids of the bmw voice control i watched had a male voice so this female voice was pleasant surprise
  15. just make sure the leds at the edge of the mirror cap are bright and facing side-on or slightly back of the car. so cars adjacent to you can see you indicating.
  16. plus the led headlights are totally different design. check out the lexus, audi r8 and cadillac led designs.
  17. i had the FX-r for my second retrofit and theyre impressive but never driven with them :( they have to be mounted by screws etc. so alignment is tricky. the morimoto projectors are like the ebay "screw on bulb hole type" with good performance. the FX-r is clearly the best performer but if i did another retrofit i would try the morimoto just for convenience :) also the morimoto small size will give you more room to play in the small corolla headlights. the FX-r's are big. shrouds are the chrome trim that covers the projector body. this is what makes a retrofit look oem if done right. there are many choices of shrouds with are short or long, circular or odd shaped, wide or narrow. most are replicas of oem headlight designs. for the preface jdm rolla with the half circle shallow reflector, have a look at the E46-r shrouds they would cover most of the reflector and is relatively shallow. there are nicer shrouds available so check them out. you have to custom add the halos to the shroud. ccfls will do the trick but have to deal with ballasts/inverters, leds will work but not as bright. since the jdm parker light is in a separate chamber, you don't really need halos to fulfil perking light duties. before doing anything make sure you do a lot of research on it. especially on the spatial aspects, that will help you choose parts most likely to fit your headlights for a successful retrofit.
  18. I have h4 jdm headlights i am modifying so the h4 fitment is not a worry, would something like this work ok? > http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310140443813&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT those ebay projectors look like the G3 projectors which are better than the original G1. make sure they come in RHD. you got a nice car with quality parts i would want the headlight performance to match it :) hence the recommendation of morimoto mini projectors as a minimum
  19. i had the exact one they are euro spec. do you have the matching side vents?
  20. the ebay kits mount to the existing bulb hole but this only applies to H4 bulbs (snesi_su jdm rolla uses h4). your h7 lights might need some trimming. make sure they are RHD (a WA member had successfully converted it to rhd though). but i wouldn't recommend them because there are much better alternatives now available that also mount in the h4 bulb hole, RHD, a choice of using oem-spec D2S hid bulbs and has a beam output comparable to oem projectors. search morimoto mini projectors

    The back to me looks like a Holden cruze o_0 I was about to say Holden epica
  22. i always thought the runx vents were like these: i had the euro spec ones with the dials that fit the aus-spec dash
