Bought and installed some cheap coilovers. Install was very easy when I figured out how to do it after the first side. First side front took me about an hour and a half.. the second side took me 45 minutes or so. Rear was super simple, literally 3 bolts and everything comes off. 15 minutes a side :)

Was worried that it wouldn't go low enough, so I set the front's to the lowest setting when I put it on. Found out that they go way more than low enough, I ended up having the top of my tire practically rest on the top of my fender lol. Did a bunch of adjustments, flattened the front lip of the fender since 90% of the front fenders come prerolled except for 10% of it for some reason, which left a weird little lip that would rub. The car's body sits high, but it's tucking a decent amount of tire and full lock I have about a finger gap between the tire and the fender liner. With the wheels straight I have a bit less than a finger gap between bumper and tire, I think I should have gotten smaller wheels :s But anyways, going to go for an alignment later and see how it goes. So far the front only rubs very slightly on hard turns, rear rubs like a bitch though.

Messy garage

Modified my exhaust for a slight deeper sound.

Installed a few things these last 2 weeks:
- Hondata Flashpro
- Hybrid Racing CAI
- Hybrid Racing Upper Coolant Neck
- Hybrid Racing Radiator Hoses
- Hasport 88A Billet Motor Mounts
- Personal Trophy 350mm Steering Wheel
- Works Bell Short Hub
- Works Bell Rapfix QRS
- Seeker Ti Shift Knob
- Pioneer AVIC-Z140BH Head Unit

I love how taking out the OE intake frees up so much room under the hood, but overall so far this car has been a pain in the ass to work on!

Gf got my an early birthday present =D pretty stoked about this. Excuse the crap quality image

Rewired the headlight on my bike today, at this point I've had to rewire every light on the bike aside from the ones in the cluster :rukidding:

This one was probably the worst one on the bike, they chopped off the old plug and used quick connects as butt connectors, along with solid core house wire for the extension since they just used quick connects to attach to the new bulb instead of a real plug. Maybe they figured since you use it for lights in your house it would work for a light on a bike.

Before:

After:

I got a 9003 plug from a Civic at the wreckers since that's the bulb size I can wedge into the hole, soldered and shrink wrapped the connections and taped the whole thing up. Hooray for working lights! Now I just need the little cluster bulbs.

I also finally got the plug I needed to hook up the LED bar I won from TriplePhive (previously 555) Auto Accessories the way I wanted (completely without cutting any OEM wires so I can move it between my vehicles as needed). I tied it into the high beam circuit so that you need to have the high beams on to turn it on, but for some reason when I turn the highs off the bar stays on until I turn it off manually. It has some kind of funky momentary button with LED's for on and off instead of just being a switch to trigger the relay so I think something might be backfeeding somewhere.

Anyways, enough words, now for the pics. Not the best since I was just aimed down a road instead of at trees or something, but you get the idea.

I'm assuming the diaphragm you disconnected uses vacuum to operate an exhaust damper? That seems so excessively complicated on BMWs part.

Installed some bang new Koni/GC coils and SW888's.
