    Flushing my cooling system with thermocure to remove rust particles I’ve found during water pump change. Hoping it will solve my overheating problem when AC is on. I am thinking radiator and cooling channels maybe partially blocked. Have to drive for a week with it in the cooling system.

      Finished up my audio upgrades.
      Bluebus all tidied up and did some of the comfort updates. Nice.
      Bavsound speakers installed. Another nice improvement.

      Next & hopefully last project while the weather is warm are the side window weather stripping replacements.

      And trying to decide how deep I want to go with changes this winter. Might make another post about that later...

        Having the Liteglas windshield installed. Went with the heatable version, so no more clouded windscreen.

          Time to drain and flush Thermocure. 5 days, car smelled like a sewer/wet dog. Couldn’t park it in the garage 😂

          Total of 9 flushes before coolant refill. First couple were dirt black, I guess it’s iron phosphate with a bunch of sand like and bigger chunks flushing out. Pretty wild to be honest.

              It's been raining here a lot so I hooked my M3 up to a cTek battery tender and just admired it sitting in my garage . . .

                Replaced steering coupler while the car is up on stands for suspension refresh work.

                    What are the specs on the BBS CH? I really like those wheels.

                      Not what I did today, but what I received today… Blackstone report for my “CSL” build.

                      Rod bearings coming up! Third rod bearing job I’ll have performed in 6 months! Should I do this for people in the SFV?

                            Looks like you did yours around the same time I did mine.

                                Ordered new exhaust hanger bolts. Muffler was MIA when I bought the car.
