Looks great! Those calipers pop against that white and look fantastic with those centers and lugs.

It was raining for like a week straight here in MN , so yesterday I finally was able to go to car wash, sprayed off car and was left with the rear covered in soot, and the rest of the body in the darn brake dust (car is alpine white) Sooo I pulled her in the garage and used quick detailer and microfiber towels to go over the entire car by hand.

Looks much better, Need to do paint correction this weekend and think I will install these 3.5mm silicone lines I have sitting in the garage.

Also last night replaced my driver side floor sub. It was a casualty of the leaking door seal from when I bought the car. I might start a thread on what I've done to this thing just to keep track...

Nickco43 · 10-12-2018, 12:10 PM

Shameless plug I am putting together a full CCC to CIC kit together since my cic would not sell. Patched C1A CIC, 2018 maps, trim, wires, coding, etc.

M_Torx · 10-12-2018, 02:56 PM

Got Motul 600 and Stoptech braided in for the track...

In case you didn't know/notice you are missing the spring clip thing for your rear caliper. Ignore if you just hadn't put it on in the pic yet.

M_Torx · 10-12-2018, 06:42 PM

Yeah...the anti rattle clip was missing on the other side so I just took both off not worried about rattle lol never does...but thanks

Where did you get the m3 replica hood?

RScottM · 10-12-2018, 10:22 PM

Replaced vanos solenoids and plugs, washed it, polished the headlight lenses as long as I could stand it, lamented the rattle in the wastegates, and then almost removed the center console for refurb. Almost - can't see how the power connector under the handbrake lever disconnects.

Vanos and plugs made a world of difference. 215K, still on factory clutch...

axe127 · 10-12-2018, 10:43 PM

Swapped my standard seats for sport seats after finally finding a set in saddle brown with power, heat, and lumbar.

ckanderson · 10-12-2018, 10:57 PM

Polished the hood. M100 and then Hyper Polish.

The dealer I bought it from had some monkey hit it with a rotary buffer before I bought it

ny325 · 10-13-2018, 01:26 AM

Try to find a safe spot to park, so my E90 won't get hammered with Acorns.

ny325 · 10-13-2018, 01:43 AM

My block has two Oak trees that I have to pass. I just pray I make it through without one falling on my E90.

How much did you pay for the seats? Im wanting to do the same but finding seats in coral red isnt too easy.

ckanderson · 10-13-2018, 03:52 PM

Two stage polished it, and then coated it with Opti Gloss. Still a bunch of RIDS from the PO, but it's 95 percent better

After hours of shop vac, carpet cleaner, shop vac, carpet cleane, leather cleaner and conditioner then baking soda on all affected areas and left the top down in the garage for a couple days. Im proud to say my car is not only vomit free, but odor free. I am a very happy man.

JP335 · 10-13-2018, 04:11 PM

I did the same today, plus cleaning the airbox

Same thing I use. I am not sure why no one talks about it anymore. I have had excellent durability with it.

So easy to use it's nutty. That syringe though, have to use the dribble method to apply to the suede block.

I've used it on 5 cars now, and will be doing a 6th next week.

I love it. Every rain shower is like a free car wash because nothing sticks to it.

Plus I usually get 1.5-2 cars out of a 10cc syringe so it's cheap as hell

Seattlesquash · 10-14-2018, 12:12 AM

Just noticed this, bummer! Got to figure out before I repair, and lowered on Eibach pro, FSD, M3 control arms, new shock mounts, and rotiform w 245-35-19 Michelin's. Strange thing I did 9 months on setup so not sure if one bad pothole or other issue. Never rubbed prior either. Let me know if you had similar issue? Thanks!
