    My shipment from TMS came in yesterday, gotta take care of the maintenance first!




    More shipments arriving this week. Probably won't get to wrench on it until this weekend. Plus, I need to pick up a low-pro jack.

    Finally a break from the bad weather we've been having and I was able to spend some time on the car. Changed the oil, plugs, rear diff. fluid, and fuel filter. All the fluids looked to be in good shape but were changed for peace of mind. I wanted to do the trans fluid but didn't have the right size hex so that will have to wait, as well as the brake fluid flush/bleed & CDV delete. I wish I could've gotten to it today but the weather decided to cut me short.



    Also put in the license plate delete strip from Bavarian Auto, which makes the car look so much cleaner. New headlight lens' and black grilles (still undecided on these) will be here tomorrow. I had just enough time to spray some Sonax on the rear wheels while I had them off and couldn't believe how well that stuff works!

    Part # : LPR E46 $23.95 @ Bavarian auto. If you go to the website, type in license plate strip and put in your car year/model and it should be the first one.

    I'm game! Mine will be going back under the knife for brake & trans. fluid changes whenever the sun decides to come out our way again.

    Finally had time to install some new parts this weekend. I plan on washing the car up and getting some good pics this week.

    -Khoalty LED license plate bulbs

    -Hotchkis Sways (Front & Rear) Bought these from Hokie, they took away a lot of the body roll. I put them on over at my dads for an extra set of hands, so no pics of the install.



    -Gruppe M Intake. I can't compare to any other intakes, but as everyone knows, this thing roars WOT. I'm going to have to up the gas budget for the next week or so because I can't stay off the pedal!
