I’m about to drop my car off to have 2 of the big 3 done.
Vanos
Rod bearings (engine mounts)
Cooling system overhaul
Euro header and euro sec 1 install (bn o2 sensors)
Eventuri intake
New Valeo Alternator
Ecu cooling fan to eliminate the crickets
Avin Avant head unit
I’m looking to have the car tuned by Hassan once it’s all said and done. I’ve been collecting the parts since covid hit. Now I’m ready to have her freshened up.
Took off the Karbonius cf intake and swapped back to the OE intake so I can get it smogged. Oh the games we have to play in CA...
While I was in there, also did:
6x new fuel injectors
Cleaned throttle bodies
Cleaned ICV valve
I'll have to say the car feels smoother to drive with the OE stuff on. One of the things I noticed immediately was how fast the car turned on after turning the ignition. The injectors I pulled out of the car looked dirty around the tip but the nozzles themselves didn't look too dirty. Can't wait to send them to RC Injectors to see how they flow before and after cleaning.

Nice! I love the sound of eventuri and headers with top down between two walls and a nice long on ramp… 😁
Replaced the broken batwing on the driver's side C pillar. Man, putting those new d rings and bolting down the spring suuuuuuuucks, especially when it's hot as hell outside. Also replaced the "tank filler pot" which is the rubber bit inside the gas door and surrounding the filler cap. Got tired of getting black stuff on my hands every time I removed or put the fuel tank cap on and this took care of that!
Removed all seats and did a leatherette treatment. Some say all the work involved could be considered snake oil, but it truly does change the feel of the leather; softer. My seats were in excellent condition before but feel even better now.
Baking in sun for first couple hours. I ended up leaving product on for about 48hours.
After.
Carpet cleaned all of flooring and mats.
Also, re adhesived a peeling c pillar and spray dyed the faded rear parcel deck.
