Nice shop.

Replaced my pads and rotors and gave my wheels a nice scrub down.

A little wash, decontamination, paint correction and protection this weekend🤟

unrulyteach · 04-21-2019, 10:20 PM

Installed bilstein b8

ny325 · 04-21-2019, 10:26 PM

Did nothing. I let it rest.

hellokitty · 04-21-2019, 11:22 PM

Coded my F80 with BimmerCode and wireless dongle from Amazon.

Best total $50 I've spent.

Vulcan50 · 04-22-2019, 12:24 AM

Finished up my turbo side inlets, and made a mounting bracket to keep the filter from bouncing around. I'm thinking I will do the grill scoops with a 335d air box snorkel to put cooler air to the filter.

Ah I see. I was sad to see them get sold, I was planning on messaging you some time this week about them.

Installed my VRSF charge pipe, I know it's not strictly necessary, but it is nice to not worry about the OEM plastic potentially breaking. Anyone have experience with a VRSF CP and smog in CA?

Got around to installing poly bushings for the rear sway bar. Passenger side was a pain in the ass even after loosening the fuel filler neck, but I'm glad I went through with it. The stock rubber bushings are shockingly soft and mushy - I could move the sway bar around by hand! The poly bushings are rock hard and keep the sway bar in a fixed position. Hopefully this will allow the sway bar to function properly without unnecessary deflection

Initial impressions from just driving around town: no increase in NVH, car feels sharper and more willing to rotate. Happy with results!

Replaced the wiring in my headlights
The heat from the headlight bulb causes the wiring to crack over time, which can lead to a short and damage to the electronics etc
Easy method is to replace with a harness from a donor headlight
Hard way is to depin and replace each wire one by one
The wires closest to the top access hatch are the most effected

Opening the headlights and disassembling everything is the hard bit
The rewiring is not so much

Here is my DIY on opening headlights etc

Ya, back bolt requires a special curved ratchet. They are about $20-$25.00

Nice! Any squeaking? I had poly sway bar bushings on my Jeep with the lift and they squeaked constantly if not greased regularly (they were greaseable at least).
