You openly admit your creation is pretty sketchy rather than trying to arguwe how it's perfectly safe.

You are the best kind of DIYer. I mean that in all seriousness.

I do about 1 brake job a year. autocross may contribute to that though.

Finally changed out my DISA valve, old one was completely rubbish.

The color on M52 DISAs are funky is all I can say. Can't wait to give it a drive and see if there is a difference...

legend50 · 06-22-2012, 12:26 AM

oil change, wash, wax and removed some cheeky adhesive left from some tape I used to posture my window when regulator went out some time ago

lab rat · 06-22-2012, 10:17 AM

Went from the original Style 68s

Finally swapped in Style 162s last week.

Style 162s look definitely the best!

chesmari · 06-22-2012, 02:02 PM

A LOT...... The last few days really:

Front control arm bushings
Power steering reservoir and attached hoses
Radiator, lower and upper hoses, thermostat
Fan blades
Ambient temp sensor
Wheel well covers
Oil separator
Degreased engine and undercarriage
New tires and alignment

Whew....... I guess I'm good for a while....

the 68s and 105s are 17"s, and I contemplated going to a square setup with another set of Style 105s, but the 18" 162s showed up on CL already with tires, Hankook Ventus V12s, for $900, so I could not resist. Definitely worth it!

Sad part was that after I put the Style 105s on, I found out the lower control arms were shot, and they had to be replaced. Car has been realigned after they were replaced, but it was too late. The front tires corded on the inside edge. I have to replace 'em before I put 'em back on my Z3
