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

[DeathTrap]

Ordered & received most of these last week: ECSTuning transmission filter kit, x6 NGK spark plugs, coolant expansion tank & cap, x6 quarts of Redline D4 ATF, Liqui Moly 0W-40, newly wrapped steering wheel, OE carpets, OE cup holder, fuel filter, valve cover gasket, Cusco oil catch can, Bosch oxygen sensors. Returned the Bosch and going with Denso instead after Amazon told me I ordered them before and they didn't last very long.

Everything goes in this week. Til then, the grocery-getter is now the DD (2018 i3 BEV).

How do you like your i3?

+1. Angel Eyes are one of the things to give me serious sedan envy. The coupe halos just don’t do it for me.

coupe over here. dying to finally get some angel eyes. Anyone heard of the brand 'Switchback'? Someone showed me it actually flashes amber with your turn signals... pretty cool feature. What brands do you guys recommend now that Khoalty doesn't make em anymore? I've heard Umnitzas are good.

It gets the job done; the main reason I leased it was the price - I had heard that dealers were knocking 10%+ off MSRP. That, along with some tips from leasehackr, made it a no-brainer since I was able to get it down to $0 due at signing with the monthly payments equaling what I pay in gas for DD'ing the ZHP.

The looks haven't grown on me but it feels like it goes from 0-60 pretty quickly and with the size & handling, it makes for a good DD around the city. Plus, no need to wait to warm up the car before leaving in the morning, free charging, etc...

Never heard of switchback but the experience I had with Umnitza was terrible. Back then I had the Orion V2's (V4's are the newest version now) and one-half of one of the four rings did not light up. It was a known defect and working with them to get it replaced or fixed was impossible as their customer service is non-existent. I tossed them and went Khoalty instead.

You may have better luck; seems like the V4's do not have the problems of the V2's and you can choose two options when it comes to appearance.

Installed an autodim mirror in The Vault.
Yesterday I installed all new brakes front and back (rotors and pads), sensors, and sway bar end links front and back. Also replaced the headlight leveling sensor arm since it wasn't mounted in the right place and was rusty.

ahhh, the joys of new-to-you old cars... always finding surprises.

I have the switchbacks too, very happy with them. I have the yellow/white. I also got the harness that goes with them.

Got any pics of them on a facelifted coupe? I'd only consider it if they aren't fully circular giving the impression that my car has snorted cocaine and is now high as a kite.

you're saying that like it's a bad thing...

Always nice having a clean garage. I hate it when mine gets so outta whack that I'm tripping over stuff.
Man I hear ya about the back... never had surgery but I was in a wheelchair for a several weeks. Took about 2 months for it to get better...It was pretty miserable...

What are the bikes there on the other side of the car?

It was so bad in there.

Sadly not recuperating as fast as I would like. Still on crutches and in more pain than last time.

The bikes are as follows.
1980 Yamaha XS650. Kind of a rat build. That one is mine. Don’t know if I’ll ever be able to ride again, but I’m holding on to it just in case.


1981 Yamaha XS400. Build in a cafe style. Belonged to a friend who moved and had to leave it behind. It’s now mine too. Thinking about selling it since I have the title now.

1982 Honda Nighthawk. Was letting someone work on it in my garage when I was building the other 2. It’s a tracker style. Probably the dumbest bike to make one out of, but to each their own. I build the frame, made new trays, skins, and wiring harness and other related odds and ends. Then he stopped showing up after my back went out. I am about to have that one towed to his house and dropped off.
