Sure I'm a little bias here but the best thing about Beamers is the documentation...check realoem.com and google 'Bmw ETK'. Realoem has complete part diagrams for each model, every nut,bolt and obscure clip has a part number. ETK is a complete wiring diagram, wire colours, pinouts etc Pretty...

It's been a fairly productive weekend :D Saturday I went into the city to have a look around some timber shops. Delta (Whelans), Urban Salvage and Nullabour timbers Ahhh stacks and stacks of beautiful timber.... If only i had the space for one of these dining tables... See the size of...

About time for that monthly update, sadly not too productive due to being sick the past 2 weeks. My Mrs came across a coffee table she liked on pinterest a few weeks ago, I quite liked it too, looked up a price; almost $1300AUD! :eek::eek: I like having nice 'stuff' but i'd rather spend that...

The bilsteins are great, probably a little bumpy at low speed (under 60km/h) but really they feel the best around 80-120km/h A mate of mine has Koni FSD's/eibach which seem a little more supple if you're after something softer.

Alright so this is the build of my daily E36 with S54 transplant I'll try to keep this brief, there are heeeeaps of photos, if you have any questions feel free to ask. Pictures will be high on quantity but not quality. So i bought this E36 328i back in 2009 terrible interior and 20's Stock...

I tried to upload the S54 swap tonight but flickr has been giving me upload time-out errors :mad::mad::mad: I'll try again tomorrow

The S54 block is cast iron so it actually adds quite a bit of weight to the front end. I have stock swaybars and Bilstein B12 pro-kit, it handles very well on the street. The only thing I need is more camber to dial out some understeer. It performs well and it's the right amount of power for...

4 car garage/workspace down-under Yeah I was surprised by the drill/jack hammer. I wouldn't say all ozito tools are made equal though, I have an orbital sander and jigsaw that are rough as guts, for the price you can't complain considering the abuse I will put them through. For more dangerous...

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under Thanks kensbey! Sorry no build thread on the S54, I have plenty of rough pictures if you are considering it yourself. It's a fairly straight forward swap, everything is OEM parts except for the wiring,driveshaft (shortened 50mm from the stock 328i manual...

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under That's definitely a nice piece of kit GB! I was considering a 15A unit but my electrician seemed worried when I was getting a quote for 2 x 15A points in my garage. Power feed to the house is a little too small. Hopefully someday i'll get it upgraded and...

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under Hey GB, It took me a few months to come across one for the right price second hand, people seem to want 70% of retail for their 20year old flogged compressor. Make sure before you buy anything that you can find a parts list and source spares. Also...

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under Hope everyone is having a good weekend, raining for the past 12 hours here in Melbourne Good few hours in the shed today, decided to tear down the Air Compressor. Had some issues sourcing these parts, an ebay seller in italy came to the rescue because of...

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under Thanks for stopping by Sean Funny you say Au is your first stop, right now I'd love to be in Whistler ;) Hopefully some more updates coming in the next week or so, the Mrs has requested a new coffee table which is currently in progress.

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under Wow that's a big pier! The hole is almost as big as the area I poured and about 250mm deep, I drilled into the slab around it and inserted rebar. The post previously was just sitting in the hole and the roof hasn't flown off yet :) Sent from my iPhone...

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under About time for that monthly update :) I've been crazy busy the past couple of weeks between renovating, cars and making a mess. Feels like an episode of a hoarding show. Time to get some functional tool storage on the walls... Cut up some ply and a few...

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under Finally got around to mounting the tool board for the lathe :D Not sure why I bothered trying to use those plastic plugs to secure it, half an hour of swearing before i gave up! went down to bunnings and bought a box of dyna-bolts. So my Mrs woke me up...

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under Haha I feel there is a high chance, it did smell fairly fishy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under Thanks Hewey, the saw bench is still far from complete but hopefully I can get some QST (quality shed time) in this weekend as 1/2 cup calls it. Enjoy the long weekend guys, I've taken Tuesday off to hopefully get in some more QST Sent from my iPhone...
