What where the original wheels? What color did you go with? Pics? Just had mine done and the turn around time was 3 days.

They're HRE FF01 wheels and I got them Highland Bronze. Apparently the people who sell the powder coat are behind in shipments so I gotta wait a couple extra days smh

Wow! Those wheels are gorgeous. Definitely worth the wait. I hope everything works out well. How much did they charge? (No pressure if you'd rather not say &#128521

today, my driver side door wouldn't unlock when i pulled into my driveway. I had to slither my way out the passenger side door.

N54Twin · 04-19-2019, 10:07 PM

Coded 0.6second auto eject key in the CAS
Module. So if I do a quick push of the button the key stays in the slot, if I’m in the car waiting for something.

Not him obviously, but I use 0000 steel wool and wheel cleaner or brake cleaner.

NathanK24 · 04-20-2019, 05:57 PM

Installed Turner thrust arms with upgraded bushings. After that I installed ECS stud conversions, along with my summer wheels/tires. 18" style 287 with General G-max RS. Going to get an alignment sometime this week.

0000 steel wool and mother's mag and aluminum polish

I first gave them a nice rub down with the wool and then applied the mother's paste and rubbed some more. Finished with micro fiber towel. Used 150 sandpaper for the stuck on stuff

I changed my starter out today as it went out completely about a week ago. Was nice today and off work. Took ruffly around 2 hrs. Biggest PITA was the back bolt on it.

Socket · 04-21-2019, 09:17 AM

working on the latest mod.... strengthening the E92 drive line.... installing 1M diff, prop shaft and axles.

axe127 · 04-21-2019, 02:23 PM

Got the summer wheels back on. Also installed 20 mm rear wheel spacers, up from 15mm, and raised the rear coilovers by about a half inch to help with the reverse rake.

I looked at installing new clutch pedal bushings, but after getting the kick panel off I realized there’s no way I’m getting my hands up there with my long forearms.

Ozzie335i · 04-21-2019, 04:26 PM

I walked by mine. She winked at me, as if to say "I haven't cost you anything this week, yet."
