Please help - bday ideas for the boy

Alpha Trion · 06-21-2011, 10:36 PM

just talked to the mrs and called her Aimee.. no reaction

i dunno, maybe she's taken acting lessons and knows when to get in and out of character?

But i talked to her about it and she said she don't know what i'm talking about

OH WELL i guess we'll find out soon enough..

BBK · 06-22-2011, 12:11 AM

Hmmm... took me a while to catch up this thread as I have been out all day and car is in workshop having meth and AR downpipes installed...

Steve and Craig... have to say, you guys are like Sherlock Holmes!

ps- sorry to blackonblack135 for getting your hopes up. My wife has a tendancy to want to make sure she is 'the best wife'. And have to say, I am extremely happy.

Thanks must also go to BMW86 for his help and everyone who responded in this thread. Otherwise I may have received something I didn't want like a Type R badge, or fake carbon wrap!

RaihaX · 06-22-2011, 12:29 AM

Congrats on the wife BBK! That's a really nice gesture.

Good thing you contributed to the thread - there was a definite push for M3 bits!

If that's the budget, and he has a JB3/4 (which sounds like he does), then maybe Downpipes would be the best option, or maybe a methenol injection kit but may be a bit complicated? Those two options will make the most power.

And gauranteed, he will LOVE you for it!

I love this.

Your wife is certainly a smart cookie and you're a lucky man!!!!

BBK · 06-22-2011, 01:27 AM

Thanks guys, I have to say it's probably one of the best surprises I've ever had and I'm massively grateful!

Now the most painful part is waiting for the car to be finished...

Thanks Matt, not actually my birthday though. Was a 'just because' gift!

BMW86 · 06-22-2011, 05:41 AM

No problems in helping with advice, just glad you got what you wanted. I recall you showing a lot interest in the AR downpipes in a few different threads. Lol at getting a Type R badge! How did the install go for both? Did you go to AA? Most importantly, how's the powwwaaaa?

TimMc · 06-22-2011, 06:09 AM

Nice one Richard! Who's fitting all this gear?

BBK · 06-22-2011, 06:13 AM

Vin, hasn't finished yet. Won't be ready till tomorrow! Killing me waiting...

Tim/vin: Accelerate Automotive. I don't remember seeing a dyno there though which is a bit disappointing

BMW86 · 06-22-2011, 06:15 AM

Nice Richard. I think AA would be willing to do all our 1ers, the guys there are really nice and they seem interested in our cars. Keep me posted on how it all goes

btw, they don't have a dyno but if needed they can use the one next door where they do all the imports, pretty standard pricing though.

WAY · 06-22-2011, 06:19 AM

Haha well done Aimee. BBK, did you suspect anything at all? Be honest now!

TBestW · 06-22-2011, 06:21 AM

Sparoz and BMWRX, how did you know so early on that it was me?

to you both!

Thanks so much again Vinney, especially for writing very comprehensive PMs when you should have been studying for exams instead

I don't think I could have gotten the $729 price without a connection to a big-spending customer!

No nothing at all! But looking back on it some things all make sense... Haha. And did anyone notice she had 'Brisbane bus' in the what car do you drive in her profile... *rolls eyes*
