    Still having paint issues with my carbon trunk, so a quick fix was bringing it to my detailer to wetsand the bubbled areas (entire top side of the trunk) and buff.

      after and before of the issues I’ve been plague with owning a carbon trunk that gets parked outside. For now the m3 is back in the garage and the e30 got kicked out. Detailer/friend of mine worked a miracle getting it back to mirror

        This one is useful to those with TCK/GC/other coilovers where the damping knob interferes with the positive jump post on the right strut tower, forcing you to either run less caster/camber or make some sort of custom knob:



        Removed the jump post and reversed it so it's inside the drug bin, not out. A lot more clearance for the knob now:

          Compression pressure measured. It's uniform but very low, isn't it?

            Yes that seems low. 175psi is factory, above 150 psi is considered okay.

            Any symptoms that led to the test?

                When was the last valve adjustment? VANOS and cam bolts done? Rod bearings?

                    I'm in the middle of replacing F/R rotors and noticed that one brake duct is totally covered and the other is partially covered (slotted). I'm confused 🤔

                      they aren’t really functional brake ducts. I wouldnt worry too much about them.

                              Differential flush & refill, new tie rods and boots ( along with alignment ), headlight leveling sensor bracket, new coolant reservoir and headlight washer pump. Next will probably be check/adjust valve lash and replace all 3 differential bushings. I'll have to remove the diff, and am wondering if anyone has used Rogue Engineering's replacement front bolt kit? Is it really that easy to strip the threads on that front bushing mounting hole?

                                I told mine that his new Apex wheels were on back order.
                                so he started stalling w/o CEL. Looked for codes and found a code 50(1144?)DME Switch chain, frictional connection.
