Ha ha ha! I've got the message !

Just for you to know... my family members traditionally exceed the average life expectancy. This is why I'm taking so much care of my car, I need it for a loooong time.... Let's Race !!! :D

Swapped out my front coilovers to modify them yet again. Trying to get it all done Saturday so I can race on Sunday. :)

Already disassembled them and ready to attack them with the grinder after work today.

took my whole intake setup out. Done fucking with Vac. leaks. Just redoing ALL of the hoses, connectors, clamps, and couplers.


made a master list of part numbers and who they're from (BMW, Bosch, Dinan etc...)

Oh..forgot the Throttle plate is Knife edged. oops.

Buncha stuff done/switched over to the new motor for the blue car today ... timing belt, water pump, tensioner+roller, .. plugs, coilpacks, engine mounts, turbo + lines, and a few other random tasks ... last week I added the S60 intake manifold + newer yellow label etm + injectors and coilpacks, Tstat housing and even a good PCV system from a P2 as well . got lucky and had all the seals, washers and a few gaskets on hand ... also lower turbo soft hose, brand new turbo drain pipe ... the list goes on ... picked out all the best parts I had that are going in the car and organized them in the trunk .. pretty sure the only thing left to do before I can drop it in is pull the trans off and drain the oil do the RMS and TC seal ... I think I'm just going with the driest angle gear out of the 3 I have here for now .. (the lowest mileage one thats on there now) .. looks like it was mostly seeping from the P/S axle seal so should be good for at least one winter I would think .. money spent so far = 0$ :) most of stuff is from cars Ive already mostly parted, decent engine mounts and a few other things from my dad's XC which were proactively replaced ..

just need to choose between 4 lower radiator hoses ... 3 used oem in similar/good condition or a brand new URO :josh: I never used in my wagon after hearing a few crap reviews .. . hmmmmm ... anyone been having luck with their URO lower RAD hose? :P

I can fix that fairly easily.
