Derbo's ZHP

Not sure what intake you had but oiled intakes can foul the MAF readings, especially if your sensor has seen a lot of mileage.

It's an AFE Pro Dry.

On a side note:

Matt and Stephen @ P-Tech were complimenting the car. They enjoyed the mods when they test drove it and like the readiness of the 3.62 final drive and the handling and comfort from my swift spring/groundcontrol setup. Now with the new brakes, this car is going to be more consistent at the track! Now to get rid of the funky front wheels sticking out at the front and the rears sunk in.

I think I have a few options:

• 7.5mm TMS spacers + Hub Extenders
• 10mm/F 12.5mm/R
• 12.5mm/F 12.5mm/R

What's your guy's opinions on this?

I have 12.5mm spacers all around for my Style 68 winter wheels and love the stance. I don't fully stance out the car though so sure there's a little more room there for thicker spacers, but I'm happy with it.

I just listed 2 10mm and 2 12mm spacers for sale Derek, should you decide. No hurry.

Dang JR, had I see it sooner I would've bought it too!


Anyways,

I order some parts from thebmwpartstore:

Trunklid handle gasket (license plate lights is seeing water corrosion..)
MAF intake O-ring
Brake clips for rear end
Stock Intake rubber thing that goes underneath the stock box
Misc Bolts.

For my wheel fitment,
I still need to order spacers. Joop is sending me his 10mm spacers to try out and make sure I do not rub in the rear with 10mm. I am essentially making my 8.5 +40 into 8.5 +30. Once I get those 10mm I will take it out for a spin and make sure it is okay. :D

When I inspecting my brakes,
I noticed my brake ducts are toast. The duct hose has ripped apart from the cooling plate at the rotor. This is partly my fault in cutting too short of a duct hose for full lock. I will have to order some new duct hoses as well.

For my driver side bolster,
I've called around to repair the alcantara, and I found a place that said it can do the side bolster only for $250. I am not sure how well it will match the existing grey as well. Other option is to buy a new cover and have my driver side newer than the passenger. Or the other option is buy a new recaro SPA in the driver side and put the existing SPG in the passenger. Course the last option is the most expensive... and it doesn't solve that the driver seat is getting worn out.

Ummm, I like the last option lol.

Last option is nice however I would do a new cover if you have the funds for it.

I would love to do it, but its hard to justify it ATM. I hope they wont go NLA anytime soon..
