Thumbs up What did I do today on my car...

- Swapped Stockies for Summer's
- Changed air filter
- Ordered my spacers.

During the weekend, I want to remove my trims to Fabric wrap it, clean my engine bay and do a whole 3 step detail if the weather is permissive.

What about you?

I'm going to check my engine air filter, maybe do the carbon filter delete, and do a solid wash and 3 step this weekend before our SE Michigan meetup on Sunday...

I'm hoping that I'll find some 328/325/330 with muffler delete and other inexpensive mods to listen to, and hear more about at the meetup.

Yeah but my lady is not the happiest; knowing that I spend the other half of my spare time with another lady ;p

The worst part is that she wants a ring and I keep telling her I dont have the money; Problem is she knows I spent 3 rings on this car already.

Im about to go wash my car. Just waiting for the sun to go a bit further down to get some shade.

If my window regulator had arrived Id be installing it. Also, I have a new set of brake pads I need to install, but no way to jack up the entire car to get the rotors turned (switching to cool carbon pads from stock and they have some lip wear that should be milled down)

Let's focus on what is actually done TODAY on your car. Listing everyone's wish list would be endless.

Tonight I merged my lightswitch with a euro switch to get the button for rear fogs. This should help with all the tailgaters these days. ( I'm not the left lane cruiser kinda guy don't worry; always move when I'm actually slowing the others down, but in heavy traffic or even cruising traffic, there's no point and they still do it. )

And After supper, i wanted to just remove my trims to start my wrapping tomorrow, but I slowly started to do it.

4 hours and a half later, I just finished wrapping my interior trim with fabric CF! I think it'll look awesome.

It was a lot easier said then done! Not a perfect job but I think it's looking very good for a first time. I don't think anybody could notice the flaws in some corners, but It still bug me to know they're there.

Tomorrow: spring detail and filter maintenance!

Good morning.

After a short night, I fixed my trim this morning and now i'm heading out for my spring detail.

I realized that I will have to rejuvenate my leather as well so its gonna be a long day today!

Boys night out tonight so I want the lady to be shiny!

Beautiful day in South Florida. I had two front tires put on to complete my set of Continental Extreme Contact DWs (good bye run flats), had an alignment done, and ordered wheel spacers. The car feels so much better.
