Buffed some minor scratches out of clear coat, refreshed headlight covers, then washed and waxed. Gotta get on that curb rash next...39835

Rotors and pads all around.

Washed and cleaned interior. 38735

We need the rain in the Bay Area, so I clayed and waxed mine over the weekend. Silvie looks great, but it makes me wish I still had one of the black cars I’ve owned in the past for that mirror...

Fixed the burnt zkw bowls problem with Morimoto 5.0s from The Retrofit Source

The Good:
<$200.00 fix, looks very similar to stock when finished, and I can freaking see again!

The Bad:
...

Leisurely wash and wax on New Years Day... First I've had a moment at the computer to upload the proof I still care for Silvie.

Ouch- This was a first, but I ended up finding a perfect fender at a bmw yard and eventually had fun replacing it.

Thanks, feeling better about it since I replaced the fender my wife dragged on the garage (ouch).

Rain stopped, so I pulled out the bucket.

Shifting was feeling like it was more and more notchy... Changed trans fluid and it's a good bit smoother on every shift.

Yep. Easy to risk it when replacing is <$40.00

WAIT!! I guess I saw a different (better for me) diy.
I DID NOT remove the bumper. This was much easier, if a bit riskier...
I (1) opened the hood an reached down through the kidneys to ID where...

Removed, sprayed and reinstalled the mesh from the front bumper. Black again. (Found the diy on pulling it out in the detailing section. Very easy, good results.)

The PO put the clears on, but gave me the ambers too. I rather like the clears and haven't looked back.

I had some warranty work done by the bodyshop that redid the hood after someone backed into me. The clearcoat was never right, and they were great when I went back in... Looks factory now. Figured it...

Detailed interior yesterday.
Had badly ripped FCAB's and Diff Mounts replaced today. Absolutely love it when a maintenance item makes a noticeable difference in how the car drives. Feels new!

Washed and waxed after an oil change. Rear bumper cover is newly painted too- after a kid rear ended me when I stopped for pedestrians in a crosswalk.

Full cooling system replace at 76,500 miles

Valve Cover Gasket- just like in all the great videos. Only 75,000 miles, but it was hard and cracking- small leak onto header and I saw a touch on the coils. Best part was working with my 14 yr old...

Thanks- good input. Have new grommets ordered... 8lbs is a surprise, yes. Will go easy. Kindly, J

Going to do my (slightly leaking) VCG this week, soon as the parts arrive...

Gave mine a simple wash today-18098

First moments free after 2 weeks away with the family...
Lawn or car?
Easy choice... Wash and dry.

Oil and plugs, then a long drive out to the valley. 67,000 miles young.
