Man have I missed drivin her.

 

Did the typical after sitting...

 

Changed oil

Fresh gas

Charged battery

 

Also, new rear rotors, old ones were seized up to the parking brake shoes

New rear tires (on the hunt for fronts - 225/45/17)

 

 

Needs yet...

 

Plates

A good coolant system bleed. No idea how but theres a big air bubble in the system.

A battery. Couldnt save the one in the car

Right rear tail light sockets are all screwed up. I think its just the wrong bulbs in the sockets.. need a diagram for what bulb goes where.

The intake boot ripped from drying out again. Currently electrical taped up but eventually will need replacement.

 

 

I'm excited to drive it again. The steering was night and day from the truck... and so was the ride.. the linear power was nice too... and the noise. mmmm m52 vanos...

Making progress today.

 

Went up to Todd's place near Concours and got me some 225/45/17's and matching 245/40/17s. Extra rear tires... I need those :)

 

Got the tail lights sorted. And swiped some clear corners that are nicer than the ones I have.

 

1 Gallon of BMW Blue to burp the cooling system.

Tomorrow I have a new battery to pick up.

 

 

Then the last hurdle... The DMV... Yikes...

 

 

Snap that would be tits! How much??

And Chris, I will take my moderator title now pls :)

This can't be Chads thread because it would have pictures in it already=)

 

Was waiting for this lol

 

I'll snap a few pics tomorrow if the forum shall demand...

 

 

 

Snap, when/where can we meet up? Just needs one hole, for my ICV. I can drill for the IAT sensor and silicone it in.

 

Got battery today. Noticed I have some serious rear camber issues on one side... Probably from when I snow drifted into the curb at 60 lol...

 

Maybe time for adjustable rear control arms? :)

I have OE grill tongs in good shape, you can have them for the cost of 10 + shipping.

Well its not called the sloot for nothing.

 

Blew a tire out today (brand new one mind you -__-) and left me stranded. Gots my trailer and got her home. Luckily I had 2 extra rears from when I got the fronts. Still...
