So far no major problems. It was only like a $40 one so quality isn't stellar. Sound quality is kinda crummy, but that's not really what you buy it for, I suppose.Quote:

Question: On a sedan does the light assembly need to be pulled out to open the lowbeam cover?
I wanted to look at the back of my xenon projector bowls to see if there's any sign of 'burning' but it seems pretty tight on space
No.

I will say, its pretty tight though.

okay, ill fist it some more later when i get home :applause2
Has anyone here swapped their differential with a different e46 non-M diff? I want to get the rear swap from an M3 with LSD but availability and funds are kind of getting in the way right now so I am thinking about getting a 3.46 diff without LSD from another e46 because they seem to be somewhere around $150-$300. Is the upgrade worth it?
I know it's done quite frequently. Never heard anybody complain about them.

Anybody used OEM brake pads for autox or track duty? This would be on a DD that gets tracked super rarely.
yeah for a day you should be fine, don't worry too much about it.

For a first time out, I wouldn't worry about it. My cousin doesn't cook his OE pads when he tracks. I cooked it on my first outing so I think its also how comfortable your dad will be pushing the car to it's limits.Quote:

I'd recommend at least aftermarket pads if he's switching.
Akebono, Stoptech performance, hawk HPS...
If you think he might do it more look into hawk HP+ as they will be better on track but still warm up well on street.

Getting ready to change my tranny and diff fluid, six speed manual. Any recommendations on which fluid to use? Seen this sticker on the trans

Thinking of going with this route for the tranny

But what about the diff? Thanks guys!
Also, should I change the plugs just to be safe or is it not really needed?

Yup, get MTL. For the diff get 75-90 or Kendall 80-90
When were the plugs last changed? Appx 60k is the interval that they should be done
Depends on how hard he drives it. Personally I would never fathom using OE pads on the track. Squishy brakes is a miserable experience. If he takes it easy he should be OK.Quote:

Mine came with that donut spare. I think an 8.0 225 wheel/tire combo fit. (But not in my vert unfortunately - at least not flat).Quote:

Thats what I used, Redline all the way. I went 75-90 with my M for the diff. Remember to replace the bolt/plugs too.Quote:

I will confirm it with experience. I daily drove them for a week because I didn't feel like swapping pads twice in a week (had another event the following week) so I just lived with it. After a certain point when our ears stopped bleeding, my friend and I just laughed every single time I had to brake at a light. I've had a couple of people lean out their cars and say "yo, fix your brakes!". It was embarrassing to say the least.Quote:

yeah i just don't feel like swapping pads - ever - so I'm just going to go with something that can be daily driven (even tho car is now a garage queen) but perform well on the track.
Eventually when tracking becomes a more regular occurrence I might splurge and just get some real track pads. I want to see if I'm any good of a driver first tho. lol
Well in that case, you've got nothing to worry about at all :ronaldQuote:

Hey guys, I got random one here:
Looking into my #3 FI leak this morning I noticed I was absent my Intake air temp sensor. I have no CEL at this time nor am I popping any codes (checked last week), and by the looks of all the dust and dirt in there it's been missing for some time. There is an OEM looking plastic plug installed in the IAT sensor port so I'm a little baffled.
I am just curious, can you guys confirm that you do in fact have an IAT sensor installed? I have a couple of crappy pictures I snapped this morning for refrence in case I am mistakingly calling this something else or in the wrong spot for it.
I did check with Realoem (signed in with my VIN) and it indicated that this was installed on my car (or supposed to be).
I cannot find the Wiring Harness or connector for it either, so..... :dunno
