Today I installed a passenger seat mat sensor bypass. Quick installation and seems to work great. Glad to clear out the christmas tree on my dash.
I also checked out a ZHP for sale locally. Imola, 6MT, 130k, $6k. Was completely trashed. Paint was worse than mine and I have double the mileage. One kidney grille was missing. Tamper dot on. Reeked of burnt oil (VCG must've been due for like 50k). Owner was a regular smoker. Clutch was slipping. However, the suspension had just been redone and it was surprisingly tight. Crazy how some people treat their cars.
Nice work. Keep her.

Where did you get the bypass?

I had bought one in the past and it was a dud
Not selling it. The 130k one was a potential flipping project with a buddy of mine!Quote:

Wow. The interior looks damn near new in the pictures. Talk about misleading.
Guess you got unlucky. I bought a random one off eBay when I still had my alcantara interior and it worked just fine.Quote:

Oil pan gasket in progress! I also replaced the oil pump nut with an OEM ZHP one for peace of mind, but the original one wasn't loose at all which is reassuring.

Yup! Drove 100 miles to VT for a ski weekend right after without a hitch. Job took 2.5h with 2 guys working on the car. Hope the repair will cure some of my oil loss.Quote:

Thanks for the suggestion. I bought the same bypass from ebay and installed it today. No more airbag light :)Quote:

Toast to 500k. Drive it to the west coast. [emoji12]
Nice!

Installed new DWS06 at 400,750km. Very pleased so far.

Took notice of a big tear in my driver's seat last week. Can't believe I had never seen it. Less pleased about that one...

Awesome 400k pic! M54 4eva!
How on earth did you not notice that tear?? lol
There he is. Great tires. Try to find an Alcantara seat bolster and get that fixed!
Hmm tires
That needs to be behind you....Quote:
