What did you do to your car today?

GB-335xiCoupe · 06-19-2014, 01:22 PM

Installed Drop Stops between the seats and the center console.
I eat, live, sometimes sleep in my car, it's my mobile office. Spacious, 6 windows all with a great view, 4 wheels.

Here's what it looks like in my car, and it works very well. No more digging my phone out of the Abyss!

Decided to add an ER Long CP, anodized black + HKS BOV for my n54.

For $10 a piece, they are well worth it. Plus, as they say on the box, they reduce driver distraction (digging for dropped phone/coins/knives/ammo), so they make for safer 0-100mph pulls!

e92_enthusiast_1 · 06-19-2014, 06:51 PM

Ikr! Definitely gonna queue it up. The problem with the gap is that the track for the seats has enough room where my samsung will really wedge in there once it falls.

Put this sticker on and took my newborn son for a ride

FlowState · 06-20-2014, 07:46 PM

Parts/service:
- New oem battery (sidenote: the original battery lasted me 8 years. I trust oem for batteries now!)
- Oil changed
- Ordered Motul RBF 600 brake fluid

Because I was bored:
- Washed and waxed the outside
- Detailed the wheels (including the inside barrel)
- Washed the floor mats
- shampooed the carpet
- cleaned and conditioned all the leather

FINALLY caught up on most of what I wanted to do since pulling my car out from storage this past winter.

Let's see...got my front passenger door lock actuator, window guide, and channel cover replaced as they were all perished. Also replaced the roof moldings as they were also quite past it. All in all a good day for my ride. Yet there remains much to be done, but I'm getting "there".

ya i just did a water pump and coolant flush and was curious on where the temp sits at idle/traffic/wot...had no idea the celcius display jumps around so much. i ran analog gauges in the past on my other car in fahrenheit and it was pretty stable....im not used to this lol
