Where do we all live? Thinking about cruise / meets

Yeah I'm not holding my breath. He said it depends on when the ship gets here so it could be anytime lol

Hopefully they come early August. I gotta start buying bits and pieces for it now though....

Lets do a group buy... Im going to start with an exhaust, intakes and maybe some lowered springs. I am going to wait a while before upgrading the stock 18" rims.

All good mate. I would go with a 2nd choice personally. It's something that most people will keep for at;east a few years, so IMHO you should really only get the Colour that you REALLY want.

I'm starting to think myself about some basic bits and pieces. Main thing for me would most likely be Cat/Back Exhaust first. Mainly to open the sound up a bit more. I love extra OOMPH some of the sets are getting.

Hopefully your car is sooner rather than later.

As above, I agree. I'm leaving the handling side of things alone till I do some track/hill climb runs, mainly to make sure that I will see a benefit (time wise) in going aftermarket. As for rims, I'm staying with 18's and probably just go a Nice Light aftermarket set.

Yep exhaust is Number 1 for sure. Still waiting on a shipping price for group buy and I'll let u know when I find out.

I'll be keeping the stock rims for a while too. I already have an amp and subs that I had in my 350 so all set with system too just gotta work out the wiring in the boot on the 370.

MrBMW

That would be great if you can get an idea of price for a group buy. If I may ask, what system are looking at for a group buy (maybe we should start a separate thread for that?).

I cant imagine the wiring would be that difficult. I assume the wiring diagram would be in the Service manual that can be found on the website.

Well I've been after the stillen cat back and the stillen g3 intakes, they get pretty pricey for delivery.... so I'll see what they can get back to me with.

I also emailed Hitech mufflers to see if they were making one anytime soon but didn't get a reply so i doubt it. I had their exhaust on the 350 which had a really nice sound.

I'm just trying to sort out the wiring going into the stock sub location. The amp for the subs is actually in the black container with the subs and I think from memory there were 6 wires leading in the, so i need to suss out the trigger, and inputs etc... i'll have a look at the service manual though... hopefully its in there

MrBMW

I must say thats pretty much exactly what i have been thinking of myself. Shipping would be a killer unfortunately for us here in Aus. Then working out where to ship to etc... (on a group buy basis).

As for the stereo, i will be doing something eventually. I have had thought about possibly going with some shallow Subs in a box made for the space between the rear strut and wheel arches (i think thats right), then you still have space left for shopping (LOL) and the Baby latch is still accessible. Pic below should explain what i mean.
