What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[cakM3]

I'm tearing apart my M3 seats at the moment so I can refresh my M3's driver seats today and begin the lumbar/side bolster adjustment for my ZHP





Dane, you're right!!! This is so much fun!!!

I'm doing 5 seats today

How hot is that cam? Too hot to touch with bare skin?

Purchased a second set of exhaust tips and got them smoked. The bling from the stock chromey's just didn't appeal to me. Like the more subdued look of these quad tips.

Christ...Mike you owe me a new set of trousers! How about an NSFW tag next time

Okay JP. That seems like a smart decision.

I retrofitted an ///M Oval rear view auto-dim in Wobz this afternoon. I know Botond will appreciate the new more aggressive look Wobz now has







Doing this was a nice break from the seats I was working on. Took me less than five minutes to do the swap Now this geratric is quitting for the day to recuperate from all this work/aggravation

I could have gone 292, 300, or 304 and still been able to tune the carbs to have some sort of idle but it would have required modifying the piston top to clear the valves. Since the pistons were $180 each, I decided that rather than messing with those 10:1 tii pistons I'll just go conservative. If I want to run a different cam, I can always build the current motor once I have this one installed

I miss my auto-dimm and home-link rearview mirror; something went wrong with my retrofit, after about a year, the thing went crazy and self-destructed. I bought another, swapped out the mirror only to have it do the same thing immediately when I plugged it in. The only thing that changed was I tapped my old radar detector back in, I think it was using the same power line. Now that I have a different radar detector (hard wired correctly too) I want to try another auto-dimm, but I'm skeered it might still be messed up.

On topic...

Drove my car to work today, I usually park it in the shop, but the operator I was relieving had his car in there, so I parked outside and left the windows and sunroof open. A couple of hours later a downpour hits, thankfully I was right on top of it. Got it closed up and pulled in the shop quick, pulled everything out of it and dried it down. Pulled the back seat and put two fans facing downward at the rear floorboard carpet to circulate the air just incase.

It was quite an adrenaline and emotional rush to say the least.
