Been smelling burnt clutch intermittently and recently found it a bit stiff going into gears after warming up/near the end of a drive...
Clutch fluid a little low, peeked under the dash and found the clutch master leaking again!
I'd put a Nissin one in last time, lasted about 8 years/90k km.
Had a spare Dorman one sitting around so stuck that in. It was Amazon warehouse deal for $12, 3 years ago lol. Just damaged packaging and new product. So far so good
Ordered the following parts for a MKIV Supra from BulletProof Auto(all authentic JDM):
- Top Secret Hood, Bumper, Side Skirt, Rear Diffuser, GT2 Wing
- Endless front BBK (maybe order the rear kit next year)
- Work Meister S1 3P wheels
Also getting an IGLA + Compustar Alarm installed on my Raptor this week. Even though I garage the truck, I have been super paranoid about theft just taking it to random stores and places. This will finally give me a lot more peace of mind.
and finally, will be getting new tires (again) for my track car:
Wow... back in the days when you can just swap batteries in a German car, not some special 2 foot long battery that needs to be programmed.
Lol when I asked the clerk I accidentally said “for a 22 m3” and he was like “we those carry those kind of batteries, you can try Canadian tire but id imagine it’d be a special order item if you they can even get it”
I was like “for a 02 m3, really?” Then I realized I said 22 instead of 02. Out of curiosity I looked up g80 battery and it’s $2700
what kind of place do you live at with so many empty spaces in your underground parking ??!! It's like the whole level is your garage! Are you the first to move in or something?
Brought the car home and immediately ripped off all the tint. Cleaned up the jambs and applied a plastic dressing.
The car came with an aftermarket rear roof spoiler which I really liked the look of. However, the 3M tape failed and the spoiler was lifting, so I removed it for now.
Polished the muffler and exhaust tips.
Gave the car a good decon bath and quick clay scrub.
The front reflectors were vinyl wrapped, but it was starting to bubble so I just peeled it off.
Cleaned the interior and conditioned the leather.
Installed the most important part in the car.
Debagded the rear emblems.
Installed some spacers front and rear. Adjusted the preload on the coilovers and tightened the collars. Applied a ceramic spray sealant on the entire exterior which will hold me over until I find the time to do a full paint correction and proper coating.
Applied trim coating to the plastic front lip. No more ashy grey lip.
Lastly, an alignment to reduce some of the negative camber the car had. And a quick inspection of the underside.
The MPE is the real treat in this package. Prev owner ordered the exhaust from AutoWest. While only an axleback, it definitely makes a big difference while not being obnoxious

Yea, it's honestly the perfect sounding exhaust for me.

Yea, it's a bad habit/addiction or whatever you want to call it. I just have to get started right away.
So my guess is -- BMW made the rest of the car too heavy, so they had to try to offset the weight by installing a $2700 lithium battery?

My garage is converted into a living space.
I store the m3 at my works gated parkade for safety and keeping it clean.
