Replaced front and rear sway bar endlinks. No more knocking over bumps! :fuckyea:

Only ran into two snags with seized bolts. 2/8, so overall not bad.

H.Specter 10-13-2012 02:58 PM

wash and waxed!

Old clutch out, it seems the flywheel need to be machined, and clutch pad still got 35-40% thread left.
Anyways, install new Exedy stage 2 clutch with new lightweight flywheel.
Car is back on road. :fullofwin: Now I am waiting for Carbon Fiber parts to arrive @ custom.

I downloaded a free photo editing app and edited yesterdays photo of my car. Not terrible for a phone photo and phone edit of the photo.

Had my b-pillars on my 750i wrapped in gloss black.

Thanks to Jeremy + friend @ MW Studios Group for coming down to place to do the wrapping, the wrapping looks excellent and saved me $800+ to go down the OEM route.

Tried to pick the lock from the inside too but door lock isnt a typical design so failed hard as well. Ended up calling busters and $52 later I have my keys again. Messed up the paint pretty bad on my hard top too but oh we'll I wanted to paint it anyways lulz

if u have a second car or a friend to drive, u can just write down the VIN, bring it to ur dealer and have them create a key for u. Way cheaper than 52 dollars and did i mention its also scratch free on your paint? ;)

That can work sometimes, but if your car is say early 90's then a lot of times dealerships can't cut keys off the vin. They will need the actual cylinder from the car to copy or code a key to cut it. Lets not forget too most dealerships will need insurance papers to shown to prove that you own the car and aren't trying to get a key for someone else's car. In his case either way I doubt he had his insurance papers on him.

I was at my gf's house and didn't have my spares on me. Would've just bussed home to get them but was running on a tight schedule. Oh well.

Lord.. my friends lexus key just broke and its push to start, the dealership said they'd have to get a new chip programmed and ordered in. Whats wrong with a traditional key nowadays? Seems like the safer way to go..

installed some HOEN xenonmatch h11 foglight bulbs to 'somewhat' match the HIDs of the TL-S. Although, in the next few days depending on weather, I'm going to swap them out to my Nokya hyperyellow fogs (for the winter/rainy season) and then switch back to these next spring.

This is not always true; newer cars that have fobs require programming of keys; takes a week. Prices can exceed 400+ dollars.:badpokerface:
