I'm starting to really like the titanium CH-Rs with the dark blue.

Never knew this item existed, looks good!

Such a smart move by BBS. The rim protectors are only $55 each.

It has a link to the retailer in the photo. Check out AMX Performance

I recently discovered I have a leak in the rear differential. The drain plug's rubber gasket finally gave. So I finally got her up on my lift and replaced both drain plugs and gave the pumpkin fresh fluid.

Great looking seats, but did they make them on that treadle sewing machine at the edge of the picture?

Finally got a chance to take a weekend trip over to Napa. Took Hwy 128 and was dumbfounded at the burn scars 😢

Just in time for Halloween

...I'll show myself out

Some updates.

Got my bike in the garage out of the way of the M and a tennis ball up so I can park it perfectly with enough space to take out the garbage without moving the cars. Bike will probably fall when we have an earth quake. Guess that's an excuse to repaint the hood, bumper and fender...

FINALLY was able to get get a used Corsa exhaust. Was able to pick it up locally as well. Purchased from Black_Gator A++ would do business again.

Already got new matte black tips to weld onto the Corsa exhaust. It's all coming together.

Cyberdemon · 10-26-2020, 03:45 PM

Speaking of garages, I dropped a small box on my hood but from high enough that it put a nice ding right on it. PDR guy will come this week. Stupid mistake for me screwing around with stuff while I was high on cold medicine.

I've been wanting to head over there.
Were there a lot of workers in the area?

Idfkman · 10-26-2020, 09:06 PM

Took an extended weekend trip to the beach for my girl's birthday. Nothing like driving down a smooth country road while the S65 sings a tune.

Surprisingly, there were no workers on our drive.

Finally decided to do preventative :WPC Bearings with ARP bolts @ 94,XXX mileage on my M. Shout out to Dixon Motorsports in Wixom, Michigan. Yes, I drove 3 hours from Ohio to have them take care of the Rod Bearings!! Dropped off Monday morning and just picked it up Tuesday afternoon. Very professional from the beginning to the end!!! I highly recommend anyone who needs their rod bearings done to definitely give them a call. My OEM bearings looks great due to MOI taking great pride on proper oil change every 5k intervals and also proper warm up!!! �� trust me when I say I drive my M to The limit!!! Bouncing the needle of the redline!!! Happy Motoring!!

XKxRome0ox · 10-27-2020, 07:20 PM

it looks like you could put those bearings back in without any issue
what did the shop say about the bearings?

Looks great. What is MOI?

Bartledoo · 10-27-2020, 07:36 PM

They don't really look good for the tin/aluminum bearings from my view. Maybe you're just used to seeing the copper/lead which have a more dramatic look when worn.

bvrider1 · 10-27-2020, 07:46 PM

My own initiative?

That would be my guess. I would like to know too.
