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

[Fenrir]

Welp, finally had the time to work on the car today. Sourced a bad ground on the passenger fog lamp, remembered I need to change my FCABS (I've had the Z4 FCABS for a year. I just keep forgetting to put them on), aaand diagnosed my passenger front wheel wobble. I'm missing a wheel weight lol. Oh well, I'm ordering tires anyways so I'll deal with it till the new tires go on next week.

Also, finished up that comparison review between the ZHP and VR4 last week. Just need to finish formatting and post it. Should be up tonight or tomorrow.

Sent from a blue police box.

ON THIS EPISODE OF AMERICAN PICKERS

THE BOYS HIT THE JUNKYARD LOOKING FOR GOLD IN SOME E46 AUTOMATICS



SPENSER BARES ALL FROM THE KNEE TO ANKLE FOR THE CAMERAS



AND WHAT THEY FIND WILL LEAVE YOU IN SHOCK



lol not really just a pair of 3.46 diffs for that poor man's supercharger upgrade

[Newjack]

Swapping in a shorter open diff for that juicy power?

Alignment done. Asked them if they’d swap back in the factory rear springs for the KWs in currently riding on. I passed as they quoted $400!! I guess I’ll DIY before my next alignment.

Also put in some BG 44k and MOA (as I was a bit low). 217,622 on the clock.

Rear springs arent bad, its the front springs that get dicey when using the autozone spring compressors.

I need to get mine aligned now... any suggestions on settings for spirited street (no track)? I don't know anything about alignment other than it needs to be done.

Clay bar and waxed a medium sized ding and scratch on my passenger rear door above the hard body line. Got most of the scratch out but the ding is very visible. Time to find a PDR vendor in the DC/Herndon area. Le sigh

Dent Masters has some good techs. They have a shop at Tysons near the Audi & Aston Martin dealer. They also have a tech that makes the rounds & works from D&V Autobody near Dulles.

I was just out in that area today with the car looking at Toyotas killing some time with the GF. I’ll call them Monday. I appreciate the recommendation. How is their pricing?

Price depends on the extent of the damage / time to repair it. I've used Dent Masters twice, and was a bit surprised that it cost what it did, but when you consider the damage is undetectable, the paint still matches perfectly & is as durable as the rest of the car, you pay it!

[BADCLOWN]

Oh I agree, but I’ve got a line I won’t cross as far as cost. I worked a lux car dealer for 4 years (Audi, Porsche, jag, rover) and used a few vendors for PDR. I generallyknow what areas cost more and so forth. If it’s recommended by someone on here I’m sure they are good and I appreciate the info, def will be calling them, it’s such an eyesore. I put the car cover back on it so I’ll forgst about it for now
