My Mystic Adventure...

Always good to catch up with one of the OG members... I always try to hook up with an original Mafia member whenever I'm within close driving distance from them...

Changed out my faulty External Ambient Temperature Sensor this afternoon.

All I needed was a Jack and Jack Stand to do the job. It was a simple 5 minute job once the car was jacked up


Pop out the sensor from it's holder then feed it out as shown in the picture above then simply unplug the faulty sensor for a brand new one and reinsert the new sensor (reverse of the picture above) to pop it back into place. This was a very easy maintenance.

Did you notice issues when your ambient temperature sensor was wonky?
When mine ripped off the bottom of my car, my AC wouldn't work because the car thought outside was negative 50 degrees and my oil temperature on my instrument cluster wasn't reading correctly

The strangest thing I noticed was that my temps were reading in the negative when weather was in the 80's during the summer... I couldn't believe I had put this off all summer long when weather was nice... noooooo! I had to wait it out for weather to be cold so I can lay on my back to change this out... anyway it was a very easy swap since my wiring was undamaged...

EDIT: I won't be sourcing these wheels after all . . . I was able to save my cracked BBS CH wheel so I decided to stay with those wheels instead so that I could run with them

Make sure to take a lot of pics! Been wanting to see more of the GTR replica wheels ever since I first saw them.

Looking back at the 2021 car season I managed to go on 5 long distance road trips, three of them with Botond. Three of them using my ZHP with the longest trip over the Thanksgiving holidays when I drove to Florida and back... it was a very good car season for my BMWs (using my M3 occasionally for local driving fun) this year while the Audi and Porsche remained at the garage...

I have accomplished the following over the 2021 car season (Jan - Dec) for blauzed....

Some things I had planned to do this car season did not happen which is now scheduled for the upcoming car season... but that is a good thing as it will keep me busy over the upcoming winter months...the list below are the items that I am looking to accomplish to start off my 2022 car season for blauzed:

Not a bad way to finish off the 2021 car season and then start the 2022 car season....

Looks like 2021 was a very busy year. 2022 will be the same, based on the mods list.
Good luck in 2022 and happy wrenching!

It has been a busy 2021 for the ZHP and I still have a few more things I want to accomplish before shifting focus to my other rides....it is nice to see this car go from it's previous neglected state to where it should be.... slowly it will get there Sergy My ZHP is on the right path now....
