Performed a coolant flush over the weekend to prep for my next track day scheduled for October 2nd at Sebring. Car should be all set w/ new brake kit (rotors, calipers, pads, fluid), new tires, new power steering reservoir/fluid, and now new coolant and hardware. Last thing I'm going to do is an air filter recharge for the hell of it.

Went with something like a 70/30 mix of water to coolant as I'm in Florida and we never see freezing temps and if we do I'm not driving in them. Performed an initial flush, filled back with distilled water only, ran the car/heater for 10 min then drained again filling once more with the 70/30 mix. Replaced the coolant drain plug w/ a brass one and the breather screw with a titanium one. Both are common failure points so it was an easy 'while you're in there' item. I also cleaned and coated the felt underbody liner while they were out. They're in pretty good shape all things considered, figured I'd touch them up before eventually replacing w/ one of the aluminum options out there.








Waxed the intake/plenum while in there too



Car is looking STOUT right now. Almost don't want to get it all dirty again on the track. Almost..

It's Florida, why not run 90:10 water? Careful with the titanium and brass plugs. While they're failure points it's also metal on plastic threads… Best just having a couple spares on hand.

Enjoy your track day!

Took the car out for a Sunday morning rip and a coffee pit stop at a local joint made from a converted gas station. Weather finally hinting of cooling down.

Unfortunately my Sebring track day got cancelled due to this lovely hurricane headed our way. Will have to check dates later in the year and see what I can book.

Went out to a BMW CCA Suncoast meet up this weekend at Fort Desoto Park for a barbeque and car show. Was a nice event with great weather and a good turnout. Ended up winning second place for people's choice best in show.





One of the last S54 Z4s. The red interior was immaculate especially for a convertible. Only 26k miles.


Convertible M6. I'm not a vert guy but that v10 with the top down has to be a dream

OG M V8

This thing was pretty beat up but the design is timeless and the wheels work so well

Absolutely decked out G80 M3. Not sure there is another part he could buy for it

The weather has been so great lately. For some reason the cooler weather makes me appreciate/want to drive the car even more.
Took the car for a little weekend cruise to an old diner/shop.

Got the BBK all squared away. Not without some drama!

Looks great! Did you just code out the brake wear sensors?

Haven't had a whole lot to update.

Needed to replace my cabin filters so I went with the BMS cowl filters. I ran these on my 335 and like them. On that platform it actually removes the entire cowl for some decent weight savings and cabin noise increase. Here it really just removes the two plastic cabin filter housings. Still cleans up the engine bay a bit I think. Cabin noise may be a bit louder? Tough to really tell. Right now I have the hood sensor taped down until I find a cleaner solution.



Unfortunately I cracked the shit out of my GTS lip on a curb while rushing for no reason...ugh. Unfortunately word on the street is that 360carbon doesn't have the mold anymore and the one's they're making have pretty bad fitment. Can't confirm this but would rather not spend $700 just to find out. Waiting on a ********** GTS rep to come available. Until then I'm just driving around with a fat lip

The original paint matched license mount would look much better than those holes!
