What did you do to your car today?

DaveyB · 07-17-2014, 12:41 PM

Took it dealer. Drank coffee and ate pastries and then went home.

Went back later and it'd had the alignment done and the rattle from the exhaust had been diagnosed as a loose valve. Remove it (same effect as the golf tee mod) for £30 or replace the exhaust for £800. I spent roughly this a nanosecond deciding which option to go for.

I sorta stripped mine 2 months ago doing my first oil change on it.. dealer techs over torquing everything.. at the same time though, not a lot of area on the bolt for the socket to grab on so you do need plenty of clearance so you can get a good grip on it.

Today.. washed the car. Looks like its going to need some claying soon.. oh the joys of living next to train tracks

I put fancy pedals on...they really made a big visual impression. I had no idea that these things would make the interior feel so much more rich.

Today I am fixing my exhaust and putting in new coils, and plugs!

.....Again.....

Tom Droze · 07-19-2014, 01:24 PM

I replaced the rear 12mm BMS spacers with 15mm BMS spacers. I went to install the 12mm spacers on the front two wheels but realized I didn't have the OEM jack pads for the two front side lifting points. ESC Tuning took care of that for me.

e92_enthusiast_1 · 07-19-2014, 06:02 PM

Battled with this guy, but I did it. Changed my oil. What a pain. Yes, I put a new one.
