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

[Pip]

Organized most of the garage to fit two cars . Need to organize the tools and get a rolling toolbox with a table top. I was scared to have stuff so high up that could potentially fall on the car so I put sheets and stuff up top that wouldn't hurt the car if we had an earth quake. If the paint cans hit the car because of an earth quake...insurance.

Nice man-cave, Sean

Always nice to have the kids involved (on something they can't mess up that is ) when working on the car

Installed two front tires on the e90: Michelin PS 3. I got a good deal, because Discount Tire prorated the old tires (they had a cut on the side) and at the end I paid $240 OTD for both.

Replaced the sunroof motor (still clicks though; must be the worm cable or the cable sheathing). Installed the newly-arrived Colgan hood and bumper bras. Searched the Net for 6PK1900 serpentine belts.

I know right?!?! Well.....recently I've been having my oldest son work on the Subaru he drives....had him do his own oil change without me there. It actually worked quite well because even though he's done plenty of them with me, he'd never tackled it all on his own. It allowed him to ponder and go about it as he best could figure. In the end, it was hard stepping back to have him do it solo but at the same time he learned a lot from it!

Now, back to my zhp....I am awaiting some M3 TAB's and limiters from ECS tuning. I know it's been discussed in other threads but just so I understand correctly, pressing the TAB's back into the trailing arm is not just a matter of having the right press but knowing exactly how to position the bushing so that it sits in the proper position relative to the arm....is it not possible to note the position of the old bushing and simply put the new ones back in the same position or am I missing something?
