Replaced the stock paddle shifters with longer aluminum paddle shifters from Kies Motorsports. Build quality is excellent but the additional length doesn’t do much because the stock plastic mounts that attach to the steering wheel are somewhat flimsy. When you try to tap the shifter near the top of the paddle, the shifter twists and doesn’t make contact with the spring mechanism. You really need to shift by pressing the center of the paddle, but it’s still nicer and looks great.

Replaced rear coilovers with stock so I can send all 4 Tractive coilovers for a maintenance service.
Also tried to replace rear pads but failed on the right side as the pins are totally shot, ordered new pins. And gave the wheel arches a good scrub & a wash. Lots of tyre on them. |

Installed my new vrsf single mid pipe, now it's paired to my mpe and vrsf catless downpipes. Sounds awesome! It was definitely nerve racking cutting my mpe midpipe though.
Cars still in winter mode too, hopefully only a couple more weeks!

Guy is insane, he is the only 22 year old lad that I actualy hang out with. I'm 40 this year. He is the electrician in our business but a huge car enthusiast. He is now building a very unique E34 with an F80 engine on his own. Crisis averted. It seems the pins had been shot for a while and that is why that side was squealing. I changed the brake pads because of that noise but when I took them off they were worn but still had a few months of life in them. The seized pin also destroyed the lamination on the disc so changed both discs in the end as well. Note to self: next time you hear brake squeal it might just be the pins instead of the pads. |

Should you not be running 275/35 up front? Tires look pretty small

Failed NY state inspection today due to emissions. I had flashed back to stock from my bootmod3 tune yesterday but I didn’t drive enough miles.

Had to swap back to the stock oil filter cap as the BMS was making contact with the charge coolant hoses after the huge CSF went in.
