Did the throttle actuators. Wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Turns out the old ones were fine. Ah well. Anyone want some used throttle actuators?

literally looked at my car and realized the e9x was the last beautiful M3 produced.

The story would've been better if it ended with "and he didn't even find the coke in my glove box".
My car came with tinted windows and I hate them for this very reason, one more reason for cops to bust your balls. Will see how long it takes before I get pulled over for them, NY doesn't allow much of anything for tints even though so many people do it anyways. The windshield tint is so mild and scuffed up that I may just replace the whole windshield at some point soon, already have a small chip that was filled but is still starting to spider.

I think this is why it is important to have a dash-cam.
I was stopped once with no real probable cause and I had the officer ask me numerous times if the rear camera on my truck was recording (he started the conversation with a friendly approach -- that approach where they pretend to be your friend so you admit guilt to something regardless if you did it or not). He then proceeded to ticket me and came up with a BS reason as to why he pulled me over. That night stuck we me so I went out and bought a dash-cam. Not too long ago, I was cruising the mountains with my daughter and came around a blind bend - a motorcycle had jumped onto oncoming traffic (to my lane) and I was able to quickly maneuver out of the way. He was riding with a group, had I hit him it would have been my word against theirs. Who knows what would have happened. Luckily no one was hurt and I am sure he went home and had to change his pants. I was able to capture all this with the dash-cam. |

Rabbit hole.
What started off as an idler, tensioner wheel and motor mount replacement, grew legs. Got the motor mounts installed, but since FCP sent the wrong idler wheel, I decided to clean the air filters while I wait for the correct idler to show up. Got the air filters cleaned, but couldn't stand to re-Install them into the filthy airbox. So, off comes the blower pump and off comes the airbox. Got the airbox surgically clean and sourced new o-rings for the relief valves and the blower pump inlet. But then I thought "You know, while the driver's side valve cover is exposed, I should really change those spark plugs." 55,000+ miles on the plugs with zero issues and decent fuel economy, but it just seemed like it was time.

Been working on a project that will be coming out here shortly. Its a Mercedes AMG 6 piston kit with 380mm rotors. Just finished powder coating the calipers and waiting for the seal kit to come off back order to put them back together.
Super excited to get these rebuilt! Last edited by Vedubin01; 09-30-2020 at 09:13 PM.. |

Repainted my wheels. The satin black that the wheels come in from the factory with the Frozen Edition option are fucking garbage, they hold brake dust so tight, impossible to clean them. so I went gloss black.

Finally spent 20 minutes to replace my cracking/flaking rubber windshield trim. 20 bucks well spent.
Next up, paint correction to make the JB shine again.

Where did you source the brackets or are you making them yourself?
