What did you do to your car today?

ki_soarer · 04-11-2020, 09:14 AM

Oh man, did this just become the Pats or Geno's thread??? Since I am out of work, maybe I will drive the hour and a half to go get lunch. Are they still open?

It's worth the drive for sure. I don't know how safe that would be right now. 🤷🏾*♂️ They are both doing takeout though. If you choose to gas up be safe. 😷

Where about a in philly are you from?? Lived there all my life until recently and I work down there. Well worked down there untill I got laid off cause this damn virus!! Haha

I'm actually not from Philly. I lived there for 4 years and prior to that I was in St Louis and a few other places. When I did live there I was in the old North Philly (not the gentrified North Philly), then moved out to West Oak Lane and finally Elkins Park. I'm essential staff so I can't duck the virus. I'm on the front lines. Be safe and productive.

Do you guys eat the cheesesteak over there?

Hell yeah!! Who doesn't eat the cheesesteaks? (I'm vegetarian so I personally don't anymore. Lol. But I sure as hell used to. Yum.)

Vegan is all veggie, pretty strict. Vegetarian is more lenient. I'm specifically pescatarian. And no it wasn't YouTube based it was extreme abdominal pain. I only need to learn my lesson once. Lol.

335IE90 · 04-11-2020, 02:53 PM

I was essential but just wasn't enough work for me to stay on. I work in a shop at a big dealership in the north east. I'm from north philly also. Moved up to bucks county about 5 years ago. If we're gonna talk about cheese steaks if you want a good one go to steves steaks. Those are by far the best cheese steaks if your going to go to a place like that

Replaced the black start button with a gorgeous red from iND. extremely high quality. 10/10

Here'sa before and after of my interior when I bought the car from PO to today.

Boosted12a · 04-11-2020, 08:35 PM

Installed some 034 sub frame bushing inserts. No more shaking from the rear and the steering feels better. Just did a couple u turns under power. Haven't hit any curves yet but I'm sure that will feel better too

chewable · 04-11-2020, 09:35 PM

I wouldn't put anything 034 on my car based on my & and a lot of people on this forum's experience with 034 engine mounts.

E93_Savage · 04-11-2020, 11:06 PM

Installed BimmerLife Coil Kit. And Ngk 97968's.

Never had a problem with em on my gti. No one else offers metal inserts for the bushings. With that line of thinking no one should ever buy from vrsf again? Since peope are having collapsing issues with the inlets.

bmw335ie90 · 04-12-2020, 01:42 AM

Wash and a wax a few days ago, had some nice big clouds so I took a pic.

mweisdorfer is correct, lots of people have had issues with 034 bushings but I am sure the inserts are fine. VTT makes all metal inserts as well.

I have had my VRSF inlets collapse and killed brand new turbos. I won't be buying from them again.

Boosted12a · 04-12-2020, 02:13 PM

Did not know about the vtt inserts. If these ever fail I'll go with them. Bmv335, looks great with those wheels!

E92inNC · 04-12-2020, 07:47 PM

Started the detail on Friday and couldn’t find my Klasse SG at the end. Ordered Meguiars M20 Mirror Glaze, thinking it would arrive today but it’s actually next Sunday the 19th. Didn’t want to wait a week so I went and bought a bottle of Meguiars hybrid ceramic liquid wax. Came out pretty good. Does anyone know if I can do multiple layers? I normally do three layers of the Klasse SG over three days.
