Adding a JL vxi 800/8 and a vxi 1000/1. I got it all in with everything functional. Now I will go back in and do some wire management. I used a Audison Bit DMI for factory music & "dongs" a Mosconi LD4C for hi res streaming with DAC. Right now with basic filters and crossovers sound is incredible I can wait to get it tuned with a mic but until then I will use a old file for reference.

Ran in my first autocross event with it at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Great way to really enjoy the car!

Test fitting the German Shepherd did not go well, he was not a happy camper. Might stick with the Land Cruiser for dog transit duties.

Treated her for full a detail and wrapped in 3M PPF. The jet black popped nicely.

GAS monoballs pre-installed in Lemförder arms, new Lemförder tie rods, and my ever-growing collection of Rock Auto fridge magnets. This doesn't even include the ~5 duplicates I've thrown out. I have seen a lot of reviews of these, and none accurately described the benefits or how good of an upgrade they are. You must remove the tie rods to install these, so might as well replace them too. This requires an alignment, but you can align by feel and hand if you're intuitive enough. The benefits Somehow, these monoballs actually reduce steering chatter. They don't make steering feel harsher, in fact, I'd venture to say that they reduce steering feel, but only feel that distracts you. They reduce unnecessary noise in the steering from deflection. If you think about where the control arm sits in the suspension setup, they sit below the center axis of the wheel hub. During heavy loads, like cornering, the stock rubber bushings will deflect inwards, which will lead to POSITIVE camber, and generally worse contact. These ensure that the wheel maintains negative camber, and make better contact with the road. As a result, the steering wheel has less shock when hitting bumps. I live in an area with several tree roots that have raised sections of our asphalt. I no longer feel major shock when going over these, and hit my typical freeway offramp at ~15%+ faster speeds (80->100mph, being generous). Actual install took about 30 minutes. I spent another hour or so getting my toe alignment where I was comfortable with the handling, 'return to center', steering feel, etc. Highly recommend the GAS monoballs.

Appreciate the post as it’s on my list! Hoping your feel is better than mine. I had a perfect alignment by feel after replacing everything oem up front. Dragged my feet on the shop alignment, even road tripped the car 2000k miles without issue. But those were dry road miles. Nearly died when I hit heavy rain and a few episodes of front wheel hydroplaning nearly sent me off the road. |

Now I uber everywhere when it rains or if it catches me by surprise, I throw on my hazards, rear fogs, and go 20 under in the rightmost lane. I run relatively bad street tires— Federals, because I like to destroy them and it pains me to burn through $1600 michelins in 8000 miles. ~ Back in a community college class I learned how to align wheels by hand using grease plates, plumb bobs, all that good stuff.

Not much. My car still sleeps in winter storage. But found this on Facebook BMW Z4 Owners Club, caption "Long winter and stupid ideas…". Impressive. Isn't it?

Concur fully for all reasons noted
Installed a set of Synchro Design Works ~2000 mls ago...handling improvement, a major step change! 'Feel' apparent in street and autocross use thus far...don't track my Whip, only imagine benefits are likely exponential Sourced GAS monoballs set from FCPEuro. Installed those along with 100% replace/upgrade of ALL suspension components from various renowned suspension brands/suppliers.

Did a quick no-contact late winter wash with the power washer while the temp was in the 70’s here to remove the winter dirt and dust. Will do a real clean up once she’s had her spring maintenance and her summer wheels and tires are back on.
