But first some about my self. Am 57 years old, and come and stay in Oslo. And the last year, I have work on a Saab 9-5. And you can see, what I have done with that car, on this forum. Under the nick name: POSITIV.
Ok. Then I start with what I have done to my car the last 5 weeks. Since that was the time I bought it.
But first some about my self. Am 55 years old, and come and stay in Oslo. And the last year, I have screw on a Saab 9-5 And you can see what I have done with that car, on this forum. Under the Name POSITV:
Tried looking up the depo site but it was very confusing to navigate. Did you convert to LED? I have the stock angel eyes and they aren?t bright enough.
Yesterday, I have inserted new windscreen with green topline. Fits well in relation to the color of the car. So did I mounted spoiler and roof lower. And so it appears the car today.
Have order me H&R springs. 40mm front and 15mm rear. Think they is at the post office tomorrow. But I also have to get me some Bilstein B8 shocks. So is coming.
Its has to be all the fighting viking blood in me, who keep me up. Hehe Am in good shape. So I have to go strong, as long I can. I am not a mechanic by profession, but educated in sales. So sometime I must use Mc Gyver solutions. But like challenges. So its ok.
Yes the like to salt the roads in Oslo. As where I stay. So I have to clean the cars offen.
How hard was it to paint your car? My roof is oxidized, I'm handy with sandpaper and body work but haven't tried that before.. Any special tools you need?
Your car looks great btw! Now just add a supercharger
Sorry but I do not know. Becouse it was not me who painted the car. But a person I know. So I can not help you out with that. When it come to supercharge. Do I not think that. But I have plan to import an 540i from Germany. Becouse you can get them there for an low price, over there. And then, take what I need from the car, over to my car. Wait and see.
Remember that a e39 540I, is not common in Norway. And one that is in good condition. You have to pay from 15t to 20,000 usd dollars. It is so high taxes here for cars with powerful engines. So there is the most 520ia and 523ia. Then comes some 528ia and 530ia And then few 540i and M5
I thought you did a little burnout before taking the picture; anyway, you put a lot of work in all your cars and the results are just amazing, congrats !
sorry to keep asking questions, but dod your unit require extra parts or was it plug and play. im looking for a cheap upgrade and that seems like a good option for me. thanks a bunch!
It is plug and play. But if you have orginale cd shifter in your trunk. You have to make sure, that you get the long cabel. But you need the frame, I did give you a link for. That is not in the packet. But am sure you know that. Just to tell.
So just ask, if you got eny problem, with the install.
Since I have Led taillights. I mounted today up also Led in park lights. So did I mounted foil, with a black background on the N mark, for the license plate. Seems now it looks better.
I see you are a fan of LED lights. I just swapped out my HID bulbs for LED. I love them. Output is similar but you get all the benefits of LED. The biggest being when your ballast dies (and they all do) you don't have to shell out $300 bucks. And another $100 for bulbs when they go.
Something to consider. Depending on the headlight housing you are using (I have Depo projectors with LED halos) you have to modify the bulb holder just slightly to allow the bigger bulb to go in. Literally it was 45 seconds of trimming with a dremmel.
I'll snap a picture as soon as it gets a bit lighter out. I took one this morning, but it was to dark and the glare was to much to see.
