What did you do to your car today?

calicolorado · 01-30-2017, 11:01 PM

Installed a new Valeo HVAC blower and final stage resistor. Very straightforward and saved me the cash and inconvenience of dropping it off. 171,190mi

Socket · 01-31-2017, 02:46 AM

Brushed off about 2 inches of snow.

I'm planning on getting the same bulbs. Where did you get yours from? Also, could you share some after pictures in the dark with the new bulbs? I'm still on the originals after 11 years and they are not as strong anymore. Feel like i have halogens sometimes...

sykoenigma · 01-31-2017, 12:45 PM

in the past week:

installed h8 angel eyes, such a huge improvement over stock. the white look vs the yellow from stock, makes it look 5 years newer and much more aggressive from the front

installed all weather floor mats, love these more than my stock used mats which were beat up

installed clutch stop, feels better than OEM. i have size 13 feet and a manual, my feet always get caught in the foot panel down there, especially when i'm wearing big/chunky shoes. the reduced travel helps this

last but not least, got some VMR VB03's in 19x8.5 19x9.5 with some brand new yokohama s drive tires, got them installed, new tpms, etc..looks great!

My new $80 fuel injection hose is on the way!

mjn77 · 02-04-2017, 01:07 PM

New front and rear brake pad sensors. Looks like i picked up some road debris and it's caught the wires of the rear sensor and ripped it clean in two!

New sensors, all sorted.

Also took the 19" alloys for refurbishment. Not going to be everybody's taste, but getting them done in BMW Valencia Orange!

N54Twin · 02-04-2017, 04:36 PM

Oil change

Flyboy161 · 02-04-2017, 05:07 PM

Spark plugs and coils due to a failed number 3 coil. Meh, 78000 miles. It was overdue.

NitroKing · 02-04-2017, 06:20 PM

Replaced driver and passenger side marker.

Also started to install LEDs in the interior, will finish it up tomorrow.

rulonger · 02-04-2017, 06:23 PM

I pulled the CDv and immideitly stuck the hose back in and the bleeder is almost impossible to access so I pumped the clutch a few time and the clutch felt good so I said hell with it

I don't know if the clutch self bled or I was just really fast reconnecting the line

agustincuenca · 02-05-2017, 10:48 PM

ECS tower strut brace and new shift knob, the old center aluminium type of thing was peeling off, couldn't stand it more...

trjn · 02-05-2017, 10:52 PM

Power steering fluid flush. Hoped to get rid of the squeak. No go.
Then washed and waxed the car. Cleaned up and conditioned the interior leather.
Confirmed the roof rack screw head is stripped. Need to go to hardware store and see if I can find a security torx screw of the same spec.
All in all good plus bad day. Will try and lube up the steering joint and see if it takes care of the squeak.

I have the same brace. You have to remove the brace if you want to add oil.
