Shawn, thanks for your assist today, truly appreciate it. Jack up to jack down in about an hour & 20 minutes including a distraction when dish washing liquid dripped into my eye and had to flush it. I think the stealership charges 3 hours for this repair, its fairly straightforward, give it a try. The steering & drive are now tighter, these FCABs showed no visible problems but once we got them out you could feel the looseness in them.Quote:

Sonax'd the wheels. Replaced the clock spring and now my horn/radio controls work. Edit. Forgot to mention, thanks Charlie for helping out with the smg clock spring.

I didn't do this, but a good friend of mine just completed his interior Imola Red dye project this week. Just wanted to share his results with everyone :)

Before installation...
DF - 13.5"
PF - 13.5"
DR - 13.0"
PR - 13.0"
...and a few weeks after installation, 06/21/2013...
DF - 13.0"
PF - 13.0"
DR - 12.5"
PR - 12.5"
I just went out to re-measure these figures (10/20/13) and got different numbers, lol,
DF - 13.0"
PF - 13.0"
DR - 12.75"
PR - 13.0"
Confirms my suspicion that the drivers rear was slightly lower than the passenger rear. Great, something else that needs attention. Could you do the same when you get a chance and post your results? We have different wheels/tires, but your pics look like our fronts are about the same, but your rear looks lower, anything heavy in the trunk? lol

I would love to bring the front down a little more, Might look into e90 tophats.
Yesterday I went square! Gary needed an 8.5" wheel, so we met up at a Discount Tire and had them swap our tires around. I now have four 18x8" wheels on the ZHP with my old 225 & 255 tires (I'll be going with a set of 245/35ZR18 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 in a few months). But more importantly, Gary is no longer driving on three 8.5"s and one 8"!
