The weather looks perfect for garage work!
Looks good Gary, looking forward to the write up
Thanks. Should be done by Sunday of all goes well. [emoji2]
Ordered the HD Adjustable End Links on Thursday coming from Germany and got them Monday!!
Look at the difference!!
Those look beefy
Looking forward to your reviews on these end links Gary! :thumbsup
I bought two LED strips with the LED Fog Lights. These have 3M tape on the back. Wired them to the Angel Eyes. The wires are showing because they are just wired to a 9V battery for the picture. Sorry my iPhone 6 photo can't capture the actual lighting very good.
i like 👍👍👍

Great detail on the fog light install. Looks great!
What's next, underglow?! ;-)
Hey that's a great idea!! That stuff was popular back in the early 90's. [emoji41]Quote:

I met a friend who wired LED lights into his trunk interior handles and under the shelf because he hates a dark trunk and missing things at night! When he opened the trunk it was like God himself was living in there and that was the place to go when you die. LOL
Nice, LoL. [emoji2]
You most definitely have a way with words. :roflQuote:

Preventative maintenance always gets two thumbs way up.
It would scare the hell out of me if that happened while I was driving.
Gary, can you detail what is needed and how to do the swap? Congrats on the new parts my friend! :thumbsupQuote:

Ya it usually takes out the radiator, hood, hoses etc. That would really suck!Quote:

Didn't have the time yet. Was going to tie into the aux fan controller but decided to just do what you're doing with the NPT. I'm moving so lots of other things taking priority at the moment.

I mounted the button on the left of the center console next to the drivers seat.

Looking great Gary. Can't wait for the fan mod so I can take care of it after moving.

Love all the engineering work you do Gary.

Thanks! It might be awhile before I actually get around to install it. It's so dam hot here I might get heat stroke! Plus my radio is switching inputs on it's own so I need to address that problem first.Quote:

Also I started getting a weird knocking noise coming from my front BC Coilovers. Took the tires off and found both end links were loose! The adjustable end links I got from eBay are really nice but the lock nuts suck!! Installed some lock washers.

I got the 38mm Billet adapter for the radiator hose for when I do my electric fan conversion.

I found a VIS Racing CF XTS Hood for sale that is Silver Grey! The vented hood sure would help out with the HOT desert temps. Seriously considering getting it beings he will trade me my stock hood plus cash. What do you guys think?

I vote yes because M3!
Not a fan of that hood, personally.
