What did you do to your car today?

NiNeTyOne · 03-23-2017, 12:25 AM

New starter motor, 2-1/2 hours start to finish, excluding the tow home. Thanks Hunter for fetching parts for me!

WatchWolf34 · 03-23-2017, 09:56 AM

Installed BMS Oil Catch Can last night. Have an ETS 5" intercooler on its way and COBB chargepipe with Turbosmart Diverter Valves being delivered as well. Wanted to have the OCC installed before the others to try and keep as much blow by out of the system as possible

terryd5150 · 03-26-2017, 08:07 PM

Installed clear front bumper reflectors on my LCI E90. Looks much better than the orange (Space Gray Metallic).

Also, installed Lux H8 180 angel eye bulbs in place of the stock halogen units. The inside angel eyes are now significantly brighter than the outside ones.

Overall, an improvement over the stockers; but $200 better than the stockers? Meh...color me unimpressed.

6ixSpd · 03-27-2017, 01:55 AM

I tried my hand at soldering for the first time in my life today, on my 328's cluster! I'm glad to say I didn't ruin it and successfully installed white LEDs for the speedometer, tachometer, fuel level and fuel economy gauges. I'm waiting for the Bimmian red needles to arrive as I'm not happy with how the sharpie'd ones look at night.

I also switched my DTC light to white considering it's the most important notification in the cluster

Koni + H&R Sport going on this week as well. EXCITING TIMES!

The Nightman · 03-30-2017, 02:24 PM

Topped off 1L of oil after 7300km. Current fill is Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 since it's what I had on hand but I used Mobil 0w40 for the top off. I'm curious if the consumption/leaking will decrease after I switch to proper oil for my next change?

I also have some seeping at the OFHG so I'll replace that soon. Valve cover and oil pan gaskets were replaced recently so hopefully that's it for a while.

ny325 · 03-31-2017, 12:02 AM

I've done nothing to my car. The weather here in the tristate has been bad. On and off rain, and snow for the last 3 weeks. Looking forward to a nice, spring day. That's when I'll give it thorough wash, and wax.

PourBoi-Jay · 03-31-2017, 09:44 AM

^^^This. The tri-state sucks. My car is absolutely filthy. Can't wait to give it a proper spring detail...

However, I did FINALLY find a set of 513M wheels that will be arriving in the next few days. Gotta swap over my MPSS tires from my old summer set, and I'll post up some pics once the weather improves.

Can't wait!!

Oh boy, just what I was looking for! Would you mind sending me the link?

e36power · 04-01-2017, 07:10 PM

Washed it.

Blue E92 · 04-01-2017, 07:53 PM

Flashed MHD Stage 2 from stage 1. Wow what a difference

. Looking to go stage 2+ once I get some upgraded diverter valves.

WatchWolf34 · 04-02-2017, 01:03 AM

Installed ETS 5" FMIC, COBB Charge Pipe, and Turbosmart Diverter Valves

BKBMW335I · 04-02-2017, 12:26 PM

I added the xHP Stage 3 Aggresive Flashtool and let me tell you>>>>you gotta get it if you don't have it.

Without a doubt one of the best mods I've done thus far.

SHEEDI · 04-02-2017, 07:59 PM

6ixSpd · 04-02-2017, 10:36 PM

Spring prep!

Koni yellows + H&R Sport with new mounts.

Just waiting to get my 19s on now! Though the original shocks look terrible, they actually had great compression. I don't think they were close to blown yet, not bad for 130k miles!

WTF? · 04-02-2017, 11:20 PM

Water pump went out so I ordered a water pump kit, and complete Stoptech brake kit on Wednesday. Pump showed up yesterday so I started on it, which turned into a complete undercarriage detailing. Finished water pump today, and pulled calipers off so I can scrub and paint them factory aluminum color. Also went ahead and cut off my exhaust tips as I ordered the ebay 4 inchers.
