    I've done:
    All 3 bushings on my trailing arms (lemforder)
    Upper and lower control arms from psm (Part Shop Max)
    psm true style coilovers
    new lemforder tie rods and FLCA
    psm solid steering column u joint
    rear sway bar clamp from psm, spl front end links
    trans and diff fluid
    alignment

    and to top it off a set of TE37 i got for a steal on FB!
    How is the driving experience after installing the psm solid steering u-joint? I’ve got some play and approaching 100k miles and think its time for this upgrade. Why did you choose slid over the oem? New to my e46 platform so thanks for any insight!

    Car is finally running optimal so I decided to take a cruise by my old high school and snapped some shitty iphone 16 pics. I need to buy a legit camera. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance Click image for larger version

    Deleted another ///M badge yesterday 😂
    Had a rear caliper sticking really bad— replaced with a remanned one from Summit Racing. Logoless caliper had better shipment (I think the m3 caliper is the same as 330i? With different mounting bracket). Might monkey around with the seized caliper and see if I can rebuild it

    Finally, the car drives like an absolute dream again 👍

    Also, did my brother's F15 X5 35d rear brakes. A successful day in the garage

    in preparation for its biennial smog check, I removed the CSL intake and swapped back to my OE ECU. The next week or so will be getting all the readiness monitors ready for testing.

    I also noticed the lifter tick nearly went away. I guess the CSL intake really amplifies all the noises.

    update: well, i got a P0128 code this morning. Didn't get it before doing the swap. Not sure if its something from the ECU swap or it just decided to fail now. I'm going to see if it goes away on its own.

    Installed a new water pump that had some play and was creating a lot of noise, along with a new thermostat, A/C blower motor, hoses, and pulleys. Fuel pump also failed while it sat for a couple months, so remedying that as well and hoping to be back on the road very soon here!

    Thank you! They are 18x10 +25 w/ 265/35 all around, I did have to add a 5mm spacer on the front bc my inner barrel was rubbing my spring from the camber.

    How do I score an INA F-208801.4 from you?

I spent probably double on shipping than I did on the actual bearings, in hindsight I should have ordered 3 of each and just sold them to you guys so no one has to eat shipping. To put it in perspective, one of the INA bearings was $16, I ended up paying $55 for shipping from China, thanks to increased trade costs. So dumb, but I wanted the genuine stuff, Ali Baba has aftermarket bearings if you want to go with those, I was going to but shipping was the same, so what's a $10 difference really.

    Replaced the fuel filter on my 2004 vert, I am guessing 20 years and 85000 miles is not the typical change interval for fuel filters.

    Filter build date is the same as the car...
