Yeah, Florida sucks right meow. I have projects stacked up in the garage, and I last about 20-30 minutes before I'm drenched in sweat and have to quit. I bought a bunch of new car wash supplies a week ago and have yet to even unpack the stuff much less use it. I really need a car port outside my garage and about half a dozen job fans to cool me down. Nothing worse than washing the entire car and then being too sweaty to get in it and pull it back into the garage.

Spent Saturday at the track beating the hell out of the car in 90*+ temps. Oil temps weren't very happy, I might look into a better oil cooler soon.

ItsGary · 07-01-2019, 08:32 AM

Going to wash it. Its been off since yesterday.

Powashiftin · 07-01-2019, 09:58 AM

Wash and sonax spray and seal. Car is Gyeon coated. Also installed a metak diffuser.

PACarGuy · 07-01-2019, 11:06 AM

Installed my Redline Goods e-brake boot. Love the look, though not sure I did it completely right as the stitching doesn't quite reach the handle as I've seen in other pics. Might have to play around with the positioning a bit more. I also have the DCT boot as well, but I may wait to get a 2nd DCT knob so I don't have to destroy the OEM leather on my original, and it would allow me to switch back later if I get tired of the look.

It's an aftermarket iDrive controller cover.

I liked the larger wheel after using the one in my wife's X3.

crogers · 07-01-2019, 03:59 PM

I bought my e92 about a month ago. Since then, I flushed engine, trans, and diff fluids. I also used iron-x and clay bar to decontaminate the paint. What a huge difference!

Also, I installed the Turner skid plate and it's very solid.

The car is coming along well and finally starting to feel like it's mine!

Drifter2090 · 07-02-2019, 12:08 PM

Swapped my gross sycamore anthracite trim to brushed aluminium

wyatth · 07-02-2019, 02:18 PM

Installed the Eisenmann Sport Black Series yesterday. Very happy with it.

Any before / after pics? Thinking of doing the same thing.

Scharbag · 07-02-2019, 04:10 PM

Discovered the hard way that the last shop to work on my car cross threaded one of my rear O2 sensors. Took them out to clean them as I am chasing a pre-det issue. Oh well, now my car sits for a couple days whilst I wait for RockAuto to deliver.

On the plus side, I got to wash the aluminum chassis brace and all the felt pieces.

And that is why I have a hard time trusting others with my shit.

Good reason to go catless

I replaced my PreCAT O2s last year. No particular reason that I can remember.

Definitely do it! Either carbon leather or brushed is so much cleaner than the wood.

ItsGary · 07-03-2019, 05:24 AM

Washed it, was going to wash it yesterday but it rained.

Cars now plugged in for the rest of the week

Grip Addict · 07-03-2019, 08:22 PM

Threw it on the charger because I will be playing with this for a week.
