///BHRpowered Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 www.ebay.com How credible are those $80 no name hids off ebay? Not alot, you MIGHT get 2 years out of them, 1 year maybe of the bulbs remaining the same color, but for the price just buy one and see the difference, 4300k of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 MCCulloch is UTTER GARBAGE, search them on hidplanet and you'll find not one good thing about them in 9 years. philips is pretty much the best, but the cheap kits are fine if your willing to replace them every other year steve is as always living in the dark with crappy ass silverstars with far fewer lumens per watt then even the poorest stock halogen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt64341 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Matches the pedals. Do you still have a button for hold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdubs99 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Workin on it, kinda taking queqes from UnEvakno(sp)'s milly. Trying to find an appropiate button. I added some steel/aluminum accents like the pedals, E-brake and shifter to tie in with the door handles and steering wheel emblem. Kind of hard to tell from the pictures, but the shifter is hollow, it's a machine gun heatsink design. It was kind of a pain in the ass. Had to machine out the center with a drill bit and metal rasp to fit the diameter of the shift rod. I also had to bypass the key interlock switch to get it to work. The brake solenoid is still fuctional. Wheels arrived today a week late, i'll be installing those tomorrow, repainting the brake calipers, and installing the GPS add-on for the Kenwood.

///BHRpowered Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 ah yes, platinum, I doubt he still has his millenia, although I haven't talked to him in probably like 2 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdubs99 Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Got a lot of my ideas from his milly, credit where credit is due. Not much left on my short list left to do mod wise. Some mechanical maintenance here and there, then I'll be looking to do some experimental mods. > I'm gonna have to wait on HIDs and the new exhaust until the move is done. When I was changing the springs/shocks/struts, I noticed I have just the muffler hanger supporting the whole exhaust system. Fix one thing, find two more things wrong....

///BHRpowered Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 look up the pics from some of the late 2004 meets, UMD, and another in maryland, I had ridden in his car a number of times, he was even the one that originally installed my brakes and spark plugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdubs99 Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I've watched the video, that's where i got the idea to go with Borla. The MW07 meet was awesome even with just 3 millenia's...can't imagine cruising with 8 or 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt64341 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I have always wondered, how do those battery/electric impacts work? I know its not enough to break axle nuts or anything too ridiculous, but can it handle things like caliper pins and lug nuts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdubs99 Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Mine has been able to remove caliper pins, but i mostly use it as a time/arm saver. I still use air for most stuff. Didn't have time yesterday morning to paint the calipers or install the nav unit. Gonna have to wait for Easter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colbylamb2006 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Looks good man. I am contemplating a spoiler. But I know I'm getting HIDs soon and for real this time. I just got my income taxes back so now I just wait to get out of school for the summer, got finals coming up. Do you want to sell your chrome rims?

///BHRpowered Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 I don't like the rims, but some 4300k hids, and ONLY 4300k hids will be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colbylamb2006 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Well I know this is a new stuff thread but since we are talking about 4300K HID, I want that, but I'm scared since I only have halogen projectors and since I'm not doing a retrofit that it wont be the blueish whitish color that the naked eye sees when looking at a HID equipped vehicle like perhaps the 335i or Acura TL. I want that look but I'm contemplating going with the 6000K in my halogen projectors on my 2002. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutman Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 The blue colour is seen around the cut-out of the HID projector, the actual light is still the 4300k colour. Maybe 5000k would be a compromise. In my experience, going too much higher just makes it look like ghetto ass and looks a lot like cheap blue-tinted incandescent globes.
