Forgot to add. Did an AutoX style track school at Road America the Monday after the vintage weekend. Only lost out to a guy in a corvette with autoX experience. So proud on that matter.
Also participated in my first real AutoX here at the Northern Wisconsin State fair grounds put on by CVSCC. Very fun. Did about what I expected, although it’s a poorly run event and they screwed me with my fastest time being a DNF and not marking my slowest time as a DNF when it should have been. (Got stopped mid run due to someone messing up ahead of me.) and my fastest was flawless. Unfortunately no photos or videos from the local event. I’ll buy a go-pro for next year.

I would love to see how FCP makes this possible on their books. I'm sure it's a small percentage that actually uses it but fuck, they've gotta make the money back somewhere.

They consider it a cost of doing business. Alot of people "think" they will return their used oil but actually don't. @pynacl can weigh in.
But the amount of new customers they attract with a warranty like that probably outweighs the amount of people returning their old stuff.
For those of you that didn't know. Scheels actually does the same thing, Buy a new pair of shoes, wear them for a year then return them for a full refund. Grab a different pair of shoes, repeat. As long as the shoes were originally purchased at Scheels, they will take them back!

Hit 165,500 miles and it was time for an oil change. I decided to go with the Liqui Moly 10W-60 oil change kit from FCP euro. That way before I store it I can get a 100% free oil change using their lifetime guarantee and PayPal’s 12 free return shipping labels a year for up to $30 a piece.
I was able to crack this out 30 minutes ago as the oil arrived a few minutes before that.
Also grabbed a black stone sample for the oil. I think the $30 is worth it for a piece of mine. Would also like to hear if 5k per oil change interval is too much or just right. As the last time they said try a 5k Interval. Doesn’t hurt to see how the RBs are wearing after 11,750 miles either. Excuse the dirty car, I cleaned it afterwards…

Are you able to skip songs on the steering wheel? Want to buy a bluebus when they come back in stock. But Apple Car play sounds really nice.
Also do you retain the OBC?

I should probably mention the part I am most excited about is him buying thousands of dollars worth of exhausts to find the best one. That way, I can just buy what I think sounds the best without guessing or wasting money lol.

Fun fact. I was chatting with the driver of the Warsteiner E30 M3. He bought that car in high school for $4500, it had been in a minor accident which he repaired. He said it has 300k miles. What a great weekend!
He is also local too! From Minneapolis area!

Guess my priorities are in the wrong order. But when I find deals. The deals get shipped directly to my house.
I am a huge amber butthurt, So the tail lights and the side markers of the car kinda bothered me as they weren't ORANGE enough for me,
Last week I was doing my weekly scrapyard search and a car caught my eyes...
OEM AMBER LED TAILS????
Gave the scrap yard a call, for a measly $150 shipped they were mine.
Well they showed up today in pretty good condition. Gave them a polish and a ceramic coat and they look nearly as good as new!
While the tails were pulled I took that as an opportunity to clean the tail light sockets. As they both had caked on junk in them from years of not being pulled.
As I was pulling the old lights I noticed the gaskets were in better shape then the new ones. I swapped 2 gaskets per light to the new ones. Being careful I didn't break the clips on the side gaskets.
In this picture you can see the slight difference on camera. In real life its a night and day difference. Passenger is the amber wrapped clear, and driver is the OEM amber tails.
All finished up and all the LEDs function properly and no dead ones. Thank god. Based on the scrapyards listing they were pulled out of a sub 60k mile 325ic.
Now I just need to track down a set of E38 Amber side markers to replace the wrapped side markers.
