What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

Nice work, but I'm just laughing at that exhaust "nut" - aaaaaah Quebec winters

I think the DEF leak is responsible this time since this was under a felt panel that stuff is crazy corrosive apparently.

Not a BMW or Mini, but figured there can be some exceptions

Helped my friend get his 1986 Carrera 3.2 back on the road after sitting for 5 years. Oil & trans fluid change, and we ended up having to siphon out all the old gas which was quite the shade of orange. Brake fluid was surprisingly still very clean even after sitting for some time so we skipped that, but maybe we should go back and do it another weekend.

I got the privilege of driving it and ooooooh boy.... been watching youtube vids and scouring classifieds the whole day today. He wanted to pay me, but I just told him to let me know when he plans to go for a drive in the twisties

It's just such a visceral experience! The engine just sings above 4k, if you only know how to drive manual it's not good enough - the 915 gearbox takes some getting used to (though this car has 156k miles). No way I can afford one now, but I want first right of refusal if my friend (72 yo) wants to sell it... but I bet it'll go to one of his sons

There are other generations of 911's you might be able to get to enjoy

It's a small one but I discretely installed a wireless charger + phone mount. I'm horrible with directions so I'm always using google maps, and have Spotify pulled up - initially got the quad lock for my motorcycle, it's extended to my road bike and now the E46. Convenient to just pop the phone on the mount in 2 seconds and charge, rather than spend time pulling the cable out!

Car has 185k miles approx. Had driveshaft off for CSB replacement, new Rein CSB dead after 25k miles, noticed a bit of notching in the CV joint. What is common opinion on this? Try to re-grease or toss it and replace with new?

I once again am back on this forum because I regret selling my ZHP...Sold my mystic blue earlier this year since I moved and lost my garage. Should have kept that as my daily but after owning two back to back Imola red ZHPs, the Mystic blue couldn't keep my attention. Back on the search I guess...

Got new shoes for the ZHP today - Michelin Pilot Sport AS 4's. Costco Tire Center also installed internal TPMS sensors, so I can monitor tire pressure/temperature in real-time with alerts.

Had the weirdest freaking dream last night - dreamt my car got hit, but not badly. It got fixed, but then somehow I traded it in for a Lexus LX SUV (of all the things...), that got hit as well, and I was arguing with the people that hit it. Then got super super sad and started missing my car.

I don't plan to get rid of my car, but briefly thought "what if" to fund getting a 911 - been daydreaming about an air-cooled ever since I drove that 1986 Carrera 3.2 a few weeks ago. Probably a sign that I should never ever get rid of it, and just add to the collection instead
