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

[Lanister]

Spent a couple hours ripping the old CCV out and realized that I ordered the wrong throttle body gasket and lower intake boot. Thankfully ECS is allowing me to return those on my own dime.

What a bummer. Been in your shoes before. Yes ECS is pretty good this way. I've had to return a few things to them before too.

Anyone ever use a Brillo pad to clean your rims? I had some real nasty brake dust that was caked on for awhile and had to get it off. The freakin thing worked perfectly. My rims look better than I've ever had them.

Btw Lanister your signature quote is priceless!

Good stuff. I kinda regret going with the Perf Knob. It's nice, but I think I'll be reverting to ZHP knob and eating my own words. I miss it.

Called it. I knew you'd revert.

I literally shuddered while reading that... micro scratches galore!

Haha, whatever. Not sure what to do with my Performance stuff now. I have e-brake handle and shift knob that I highly doubt anyone will want.

And so my brother is now the proud owner of zhp wheels from Dennis on his zsp. Tires mounted today at Costco!

I was just about to ask you how you liked yours, haha. I was about to buy a performance knob, but I wasn't sure whether I'd miss the stock knob.

I've got that one! It's heavy as a pig but man does it get the job done. I'd say it weighs about 50 lbs. It lifts really high really fast. I love it. I just don't like having to lug it down the apartment hallway. The best part about it is the built-in breaker bar from the handle. That has come in serious handy when taking off lugs.

I just got my reman'd calipers shipped to me from Advance Auto Parts. They look great, and they're "rust colored" so they won't look awkwardly out of place. It came with all the hardware: new slide pins, new bushings, new caliper carrier. The calipers say "BMW" on them, so it's not anything aftermarket. All OE stuff. Unfortunately they lubed the slide pins, which is a no-no according to BMW. Oh well. Nothing I can do about it but clean them off. I'm sure it won't make an appreciable difference. Yes that is oregano.
