Nothing like the sound of a V8. Awesome find!

Nice!

Did you buy that M3, San? Looks good! I didn't know you could buy an M3 with anything but leather or leatherette.

Thanks. The Daughter deserves it most of the time. I did a full 3 compound buffing/polish when I first got it. So it has a nice clean surface to take wax.

Just got done replacing the power steering res and finally did the transmission fluid.

6 speed manual. Replaced fluid at 98k - pentosin mtl2 1.7 -1.8 quarts.

Oil and filter

Hell no. I'm going with Bilstein PSS10.

Unfortunately it was either that or the KW V1 since that's all that FCP carries in stock besides BC. I chose to go with the adjustability route so I could change my dampening settings for street vs track.

BP, I have heard that some find the PSS10s a stiff ride. If you get them I will be interested in hearing what you think of them since the streets where you drive are terrible...

I'll be changing out my BCs in the M3 for a new set of..... BCs ;) Decided I would rather spend the extra cash on the ZHP and finish off the rear 135i caliper upgrade rather then spend the cash on a set of Ohlin coilovers for the M3...

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

Pss10's dialed down to 1 are a MUCH more comfortable ride than whatever H&R's and Bilstein Sports. I've had H&R race and "Sport" Sports. I've got the 10's set on 3 and it is still a better ride and my car is low. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...39a4059b95.jpg

I planned on running them at around 4, maybe 5. Based on the comment above, 4 is looking more likely. I'd have to see how they are. I want to adjust height for maybe 2 fingers worth of wheel gap, which should hopefully be high enough to allow for a little bounce and still be acceptable for looks.
