Wow!

I have my setting set at 40 posts per page and I had to go back 9 pages to catch up! Great work everybody, some really good maintenance and mods for the month of May.

As for me, I've been kind MIA for awhile, May has been INSANELY busy. I did get one thing done recently for my ZHP though, after nearly 3 years on my VMR's I decided to swap out the VMR caps with "new" style BMW center caps. I didn't like the swap immediately afterwards as I had grown accustomed to the black VMR caps, but its growing on me. Its good to be "home!"

Lost 1 bolt, the very back bolt on the passenger side bottom inside side. Dunno how the hell they expect people got get in there. Didn't lose it on the driver's side cuz I pulled out the air box to get access.

Chrome plated amber bulbs on the turn signals.

New Hella H7 "day light whites" for main head lights. No change on the high beams.

Bought new lens seals… couldn't for the life of me get the lenses on with the new seals. They look to be too big. I think NorCalZman had the same issues. Anybody wanna buy mine? I get the feeling khoalty doesn't like returns lol.

One of my toys is also a Beretta PX4 Storm Full Size .40 S&W. I also had the same toy as you had. Sold it long time ago. Now I miss it. Great toy. Shoots straight. That I missed the 434th ARW. No cigar.

Yesterday I put new shoes on her--PSS 245/40-18s all around. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/22/ganajahe.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/22/yraqupet.jpg

Today I added 300mL of LubriMoly Ceratec to the oil, then took her out for a spin in her new running shoes. What a difference 5# per corner makes! We celebrated an important milestone, too:

Didn’t do anything for my ZHP today, but helped out a fellow coworker and 325Ci driver replace a shredded accessory belt at work. Tensioner pulley was severely worn and the alternator-attached idler pulley was completely gone! He was able to limp home on a new belt but I gave him the part numbers for the two pulleys and an offer to help install them.

Day 3 of being completely immobile (ZHP's my only car + college senior = stranded)
Dropped it off at the shop on Monday and won't get it back until Friday or most likely, Saturday.

Things being done:
Oil change + new filter
Transmission fluid flush (8 quarts) + new filter
Differential fluid change
New shock mounts (x4) - bearing and FCABs/RTABs are fine.
Koni Yellow and H&R spring install
Max out rear camber
