  1. as mentioned above teit has done this in his member's ride thread: or its simply this have you seen the rear doors yet? at first i tried to re-modify the black pods on the door, i just siliconed the bracket plate onto it, but found out we were not able to fit the trim back on. so basically we took off the pods by drilling into the pop rivets, bought a wood spacer, put it in place, drilled new holes and put the speakers in lol if you don't really want to do this then stick with 5.25" first i just want to say this is only for now until i get time to create a proper conductor+clip and i would not recommend this i just really wanted brake+parks lol, if you choose to copy this then it is at your own free will and i do not hold any responsibilities for any damages or problems it may cause. sorry about the bad pictures they looked better on my phone when i had taken them. at first my friend tried to bend the original conductor to the side, since it sat in the middle, but we found out it bent it too much and was not touching the bulb, it was getting dark and we just wanted to get it done, so here is what we done, i won't put this in the work submission section since its pretty bodgey but still looks good in the end lol xD first we found out a 21/5w i think it was would not clip in so my friend melted slits in each side to lock/hold the bulb in. my friend did the same like the others and connected wires to the brake and park he then melted a hole in the back of the extra bulb section and pulled the wires through. if you try im pretty sure you could bend the conductor to sit in the right position, but we just soldered the wires straight onto the bulb, i am aware this would make it annoying to change the bulb, as im pretty sure i would get flamed for doing then i just taped everything together and was ready to put it back in again this is what i chose to do, i do not recommend this method, i would rather you add a second conductor and sit it in place beside the conductor already there please don't flame at me for this method of choice lol >_<
  2. bought this on ebay for the bimmer: its an obdII usb cable for diagnostics/coding/programming. i'm using it for coding to finish the last step in the official led taillight retrofit and unlock some hidden features. will take my time on this so not to brick the car.
  3. there was a diy on installation in a group buy thread. you just tap into wires in the bottom of the A pillars
  4. i like that design, there are some different designs on ebay that don't look so good. i had the same chrome ones, then got the illuminated ones. i was looking for some illuminated ones for the bimmer but they are USD400+ from bmw... ridiculous
  5. yeah probably all sold out. im waiting for my invitation for the 1M release from the dealer like for the mini countryman but who am i kidding lol. hopefully they solved the fuel pump issues.
  6. congrats dave! Well deserved mate thanks Ken for your services too

      there is a + or - in every post but dont know which post. but the rep is still neutral i wonder how many bad reps before it changes to BAD

  8. sorry i just noticed your comment you made to my status last week. inbox is cleared.
  9. yes that should fit, the diy manual: http://www.injen.com/galleries/products/71020071406SP2077.pdf it has the port for the heater hose that was added in the facelift 1zz. i had the xrs(2zz) version which was a larger diameter (i think) and it fit fine in my facelift 1zz. but i dont know if the larger diameter had any detrimental effects
  10. nice find. i remember there was a diy in here on a hud kit with shift lights too. interesting speedo. is that your car?
  11. love this car. open the moonroof! is your best mate allowed in the lexus? :D
  12. thats a nice feature to have. some leds are too bright at night
  13. refreshed the bag of vanilla scented aromatic curls that came with the car. any recommendations on car air fresheners?
  14. top gear review vs rs3. damn the rs3 is fast but the 1m can jump higher lol! http://www.1addicts.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=540447&d=1308219295 obviously fake but nice vid
  15. you guys forgot about the diesels hehe. Golf tdi
  16. isn't there rules against the above posts in a sale thread? Its interesting info but wrong place to post it.
  17. nice find. i was looking at their metalcast range for the shadow effect on my projector headlight retrofit last year but could not find them in australia and can't buy them overseas because spray cans can't be posted
  18. new tyres already!? unless its for new rims...
  19. looking great dave! great photos and i really like this shot but i think the aurion badge should be straight with the bumper not the taillight
  20. That's a neat idea! yeah exposed paint in the cabin is not a good look
