Weird. Posted from my phone. No clue how to fix that.

Newjack came up and hung out with my grandfather and I. I replaced the CCV, manifold gaskets and the engine harness! Next up is to work the gas pedal into the harness and then swap the locks and the EWS.

Earlier today I attempted to replace my control arms and tierods as well as my suspension and it just went sour. No chance of me being able to do this in the street and with out the special tools. Oh well time to pony up and get it done for piece of mind.

Amber Gone those headlights! E-mail this seller and ask if he has it in white vinyl.

I like that look on some cars, but I don't mind amber. Kept the amber on my IR ZHP, too.

Marc, the 1 looks awesome!

I added another mod to my ZHP today.....go figure right? Anyway it's been updated in my project thread

Thanks!

Justin,
What went wrong? Was it the pickle fork to bust joints loose? Or ball joint breakers? Some of these tools can be sourced fairly cheap.

Naa... He couldn't get to the inner ball joint nuts.

I'm just tired and really don't have the time or energy to tackle the job and I'm in a position to just pay to have it road worthy again. Right now I've been on my back all day underneath trying to undo the necessary bolts to remove the arms. The inner joint is awkard to reach with conventional tools and I couldn't separate it. It would make more sense to have it done so it can be done before the meet.

BMWs tended to today by a dent less repair guy, he came to the house and worked on the cars while I left. Thought it better that I not watch the secret sauce being made. I was seeing 1 or 2 dings per car, this guy's inspection made me feel like our cars were on the verge of being totaled, he spotted more dings than I ever saw, think it was about 15 dings in total. Happy to report that all dings are gone, he spent over 3-1/2 hours here, I can only see slight evidence remaining of one ding on my car, it was a big one with some signs of a crease and he forewarned me that it would be a tough one to completely make disappear. His service was convenient, quick, reasonable price, and the cars look great, I'm happy.

oil change (Total 5W-40) and helped Jay install his Pro-Comp kit





ignore the touring, they are almost unobtainable at this point if you don't already have one

I've been looking to do something similar. Doesn't harm the paint right?
