SEEN88 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Tarran, interested in PowderJZX's exhaust from his GX71 Mark II? http://s1091.photobucket.com/albums/i39 ... tsound.mp4 He said he may post it down here, free + shipping cost.

J-Calico Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Wow, thread dredge-up No longer 2x X61's (sadly) +X71 H/T and GS131 Crizz supercharger  Would love help/guidance on a few things such as modifying the subframe, and weather the T-series trailing arms are the same as F-series, If anyone knows.  Also, whats worth while doing to the axles & drive-shaft to clean and freshen them up? like new center hanger bearing? and are they able to be powder-coated?

be4ver Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I can't help with any of your questions so instead ill ask some of my own. How wide did those inner/outer barrels make your starsharks? Also did you put extra bolts in them after ya split them or did they already have 16 bolts? My longchamps only have 8 bolts and without re welding them back together I would assume they'd want in on some double bolt action once they've been widened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMC Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I widened out some long champs about 6 months ago and just doubled the bolts to 16 off and sealed up with silicone easy as did all myself including parting old outer lips off, just brought new outer lips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be4ver Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Did ya just grind the old barrels off or did you use a lathe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chees- Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 unless you have a really steady hand i'd recommend using a lathe, i had 3 wheels so thought i'd try it out on the worst 1, ended up grinding into both lips quite badly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMC Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Did in lathe at work never try by hand with grinder to dodge haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Calico Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 yea, Simon used a big lathe at MJ Custom engineering as far as I know. Dad had a lathe large enough, but not a super secure way to hold them in it yet, was going to use an old laser drum I think but I'd already asked Simon to do it, as I knew he'd do so faster, lol Dad. Yep, he doubled up the bolt holes too, fucking GC. All the 8 bolt SSR wheels will be 3pc welded factory so carefully separate the fronts, dress the edges and double up the holes. Will rock a bicycle style rim tape and tubes to use em. Staries are now 14 9J Be4ver. Real question is, when will you let me have your H/T to put them on it? you're in 62a, by the toilets and the crying baby, I mean, you do want to sell me your hardtop MarkII 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch.W Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 yeah i need to order some, do you have the parts number handy ant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Nah, just buy this? Its a bit pricey and im probley going to do it differently now after googling it tonight. This way works though. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/exterior/auction-650749960.htmjust double check the bolts size with your subframe and these^ and try haggle down on price due to them not selling for months.
