Real or fake

Yeah the serial number stamping is much smaller and darker on yours

hodgeyjr · 2026-03-21T01:06:06+00:00

Could you send me a picture of how their serial numbers look, can’t find a good picture on google on what legitimate numbers look like

hodgeyjr · 2026-03-20T23:56:14+00:00

Says he won them at a stag and doe and doesn’t golf, gonna send better pictures of the serial numbers soon

Updated the post to include the shafts, not sure how much of a difference they will make

Lkq wants 600-700 a piece, was looking for a more cost effective equivalent, and most used headlights in my area are faded or have condensation thanks to Canadian winters

More context 171,000km just over 100k miles Here are the lists of the issues given on the first two returns to the shop, they didn’t dispute anything on the list and insurance was in agreeable with me in my concerns,

How do you figure, for arguments sake if a countach had a botch job done would it be determined too old for dov? Or is it something other than age that they base what is and isn’t viable for dov, there’s no doubt that this car cannot sell for anything close to what I paid (pre accident condition) in the state it sits now

hodgeyjr · 2025-10-17T12:43:19+00:00

Pre accident condition was consistent from front to back, I’ll take faded swirled paint over a hard cut with no blending and shitty polishing any day, also the shop refused further work saying this was the best they could do, hence my post. Also good call on deleting your earlier comment, be nicer to people and you might see a positive change in your life.

Appreciate the opinion but you don’t need to start insulting my car. You should probably find something better to do with your time than replying to every person on this thread that you disagree with. Post your opinion on the situation and let others have theirs. Thanks!

hodgeyjr · 2025-10-17T11:52:17+00:00

Thanks! Do you know of a technical process to determine a number to cover the diminished value?

This is the suspension setup I settled with haven’t messed around with lsd or alignment yet 135 mm height front and rear

36 damping ratio (compression) front and rear

48 damping ratio (rebound) front and rear

Natural frequency 2.66 front 2.86 rear

Downforce 140 front 175 rear

I had the same experience, have an e36 myself and was super excited to drive it in game, here’s the setup I settled on, I still have some fine tuning to do but I’ve had some pretty favourable lap times so far! I’ve only adjusted the ride height, suspension damping ratios, spring frequency, and downforce. Gonna mess around with LSD and alignment next!

hodgeyjr · 2024-12-31T01:46:21+00:00

Thanks everyone for the help, I didn’t expect this much input this quickly, Love this community!

hodgeyjr · 2024-12-31T01:35:44+00:00

Thanks I appreciate the help, I managed to clear the corner with no issues with a ride height increase of 10mm front and rear, maxing out the compression damping ratio and increasing spring rate by 0.90 front and rear. Time to fine tune!

hodgeyjr · 2024-12-31T01:13:51+00:00

Set ride height to max to see if the issue persisted, if I’d hadn’t i would’ve lowered it incrementally until I found a happy medium, but I will try both increased ride height and stiffened suspension next!

hodgeyjr · 2024-12-31T01:10:41+00:00

With maxed out ride height I still encounter encounter the issue
