Swapped out the120 N/mm (685 lb/in) front springs. Felt great on track but were a bit harsh for a daily driver. Wasn't unbearable but I wanted to soften it up and get closer to flat ride. Went with 9k (503 lb/in) Swift springs which is at the limit for these dampers. Any softer and I'd have to get them re-valved. I'm happy with the results. More compliant but still planted. Only bummer is one of the lock screws on spring perch is stripped 🙁

Did a couple of different things, mechanical and visual.
Mechanical:
Replaced rear wheel bearings, rear hubs, and throttle position sensor 1 (car was throwing the EML code at the last track day)
Visual:
Started working with my vinyl guy on a graphic set for the car. This is NOT the final design as we were just playing with things. I can't wait to see where it goes next week

Installed BK 9222 brackets on the driver's side replacing the Norgaro specific brackets.
Now I can see quite a bit better and it feels more comfortable in general. I can even use the armrest again, I would highly recommend these to anyone of average height.

Sleepers makes mirrored version of this for the passenger side too. I considered the Patina cup holder but heard it was pretty flimsy.Originally posted by Epsilon View Post
Here's an alternate cup holder solution for the passenger side:
All Cup holders are currently in stock -adjustable height -reversible top plate for passenger/driver side fitment -powder-coated satin black finish -3 piece design -made in Canada - simple installation -fits LHD/RHD -quick disconnect without any tools required -light weight aluminum design Tested only on oem seats an

Here's an alternate cup holder solution for the passenger side:Originally posted by tr3flip View PostIt's the little things. I swapped out my BMW motorsport golf ball shift knob for a new leather 6 speed knob and really enjoying the easier shifts. I've also been without cup holders in this car for years. I tested the Sleepers Speed Shop cup holder designed for 964s and 993s and it bolted right up to my VAC floor plates. Pretty stoked. I can also fit my Yeti cup without any flex or interference with my legs while driving. No more driving one-handed with coffee in the other!

As annoying as it is, you'll want to completely remove those labels off the headers before starting the engine; otherwise, the burning smell might take a while to go away.

New wheel day. After 6 months of searching for diamond silver, I compromised on color. The new color is slowly winning me over.
TE37 SL in diamond black 18x9.5 +22 265/35 with a 10mm rear spacer. Will need a roll to pull off the rear spacer.
Just need to get my headliner back and the car will finally be in a happy spot.

Please update on how the fan clutch works out.Originally posted by Cubieman View PostSome boring stuff in comparison. I replaced the fan clutch to a E36 M3 for hopefully better cooling after reading through another thread.
Also replaced the OAS and the oil vent line from airbox>pan. Both were likely just fine but I guess I wanted something to do and didnt feel like installing my new yellowtag rack just yet.
Found a leak from the return hose>P.S reservoir, all this shit is basically brand new so that's unfortunate.
Maybe a basic hose clamp as opposed to the stock style clamp will fix this as its not leaking out the vent hole, its definitely from the hose connection.
