Damn! I don't think I've seen a clutch that burnt in all my 40 years of wrenching...
Nice head unit... I keep going back and forth on whether I want to upgrade from the standard business radio

Lol, my RX-7 clutch disintegrated like that. Definitely an interesting failure mode.
What's your opinion on that Valeo kit?

Hey Tony. Good to see you and nice work!
I like the kit overall. Simple and easy to install. You don't need a bearing for it as I didn't realize any of them fit. I'm not sure why people say there is chatter or noisy however I haven't really experienced that myself. The reason why I went with the kit is that the flywheel was also gone as well.Quote:

Also changed out the coilover kit since I had issues with trying to adjust the old ones. Lifetime warranty on the BC Coils are amazing.

Do you have live pics of the head unit? Looks much nicer than the dynavin n7 they I spent more than two times the price on.

Thank you a lot! Almost at 200k on the car now.Quote:

Towed with the ZHP back to Boston. Registered the car again and now at 215610 miles.
Replaced the battery last night with Attachment 40168.
I replaced my headlight lenses as they pretty much got killed due to the CA weather and age overtime. This gave a really massive improvement with light output and visibility. I do have AL headlight housing with a ZKW glass inside which I swapped since I wanted a clear lens rather than the AL lens with the line. Inside are morimoto d2s 5500k which are from retrofitsource 2019 (they don't have 5500k anymore it seems). I also took apart the ballast and double check the wiring to see if there was any exposed wires inside. Overall everything seems good but I don't have some flickering with the headlights which I am working on tracking down. I do believe it is due to a bad ground or something.
That's some great light output. Are those stock projectors?
It might be my eyes playing tricks with me, but my friend's sedan ZHP had nice sharp cutoffs like yours. My coupes are much less defined.
New front lenses and AL Xenon makes a pretty big difference. I'm just not sure why they keep flickering on and off. May be a bad connection or wiring just going bad.
Don't think it's your eyes, compared to Tony's pictures my coupe also seems less definedQuote:

Yep, I drove back cross country to Boston. So looking to stay here for a bit. I haven't really spent too much time maintaining it like I would've like but getting back into it now. There is just so much to do now. Plus I do have the E36 M3 which is a complete project as well.Quote:

It is a real PITA process but can be done. At this point if you are able to source new lens it is better just to replace them then reheat the butul tape and replace the lens and push them in solidly until you hear them snap back in place.Quote:

There's some for $48.99 when you click on the $82 ones.
Man... Isn't having the Westfalia hitch great? Pretty appreciative of the pics you posted which I referenced when I installed mine.Quote:

Link seems dead but wow good to know! Bimmerjakes is way too pricey, I picked up a set a few years ago and long story short ended up making money after swapping lenses and refurbing them with 2K clear. If mine ever get a bit swirled I can always polish them just like paint because... It is paintQuote:

Yep it's pretty convenient with towing the trailer cross country. I think my hitch is slightly loose as in the socket or attachment has some play left to right but I can't confirm which part due to the trailer swinging out from black ice and hitting my quarter panels. I still have to address them in the future when I have some time to work on them.Quote:

Aliexpress link works for me, but from there you can search for "bmw e46 coupe 03-06 headlight lens" to find them.Quote:
