What did you do to/for your 1er today?

Kontra · 09-19-2014, 01:15 PM

Installed the bmw ssk, royal pain in the ass of a job(original plastic bearing had to be hacked out)... totally worth it. Next up, rear brakes and new body pieces next week

halfhalo · 09-19-2014, 05:50 PM

New evaporator. Not something I really wanted to do to it.

Once I get it back, I will finally be able to give it a nice shiny cleaning. Its basically been at the dealership for the past 3 weekends, so I have not had the ability to wash, clay, wax, and give the top a new layer of waterproofing solution.

Installed Alpine Retrofit Kit! Much better than crappy stereo. Still got hifi subs to fit

I'll take the blue one! Though, it may be hard to drive off in the one on the left with that dog laying in front it.

Overpar56 · 09-20-2014, 03:12 PM

That dog was guarding my car. It peed on the Lambo's tires.

Nice mod! Got 12mm and 15mm waiting to be fitted to mine aswell. Are those stock or upsized tyres?

Lemans82 · 09-21-2014, 01:11 PM

stock 245\35\18 215\40\18, in 2 or 3 weeks i might fit the 15mm in the front and 12.5 rear just to see what it look like.

It get the wheel flush with the fender, look more sexy, in my opinion.
But make the steering wheel a BIT stiffer.

swagon · 09-21-2014, 05:42 PM

15mm is too much IMHO. Especially on stock suspension.

gregthegr8 · 09-21-2014, 08:06 PM

After many many months, I finally put on my PPK placard front and center. Big thanks to owen2001, zx10guy, and the artist formerly known as RickMsport for helping out with the placard, official ppk2 instructions, and sending me a spare aluminum bolt warning sticker.

brocklanders · 09-21-2014, 08:55 PM

Its not about what you did for your one today, its about what your one did for you. Mine taught me the true meaning of the words under steer.

That is one clean engine. The sticker looks perfect. Now if only my new stickers would hurry up and come in the mail.

saace7 · 09-21-2014, 10:52 PM

I ordered a borla cat-back exhaust! Will have it within a week

Greg,

Doesn't the 'is come with the PPK factory installed? If so, what's with the sticker?

No, didn't hurt anything just went to an autox event. We had seven laps and I took it easy on the first four so I didn't, or wasn't paying attention, to the understeer until the last few. There was a time when it felt like the front was on water skis the rear however was rock solid.

Looking good! It's silly how a company so infatuated with badges as a big part of their product marketing strategy wouldn't slap the PPK emblem onto the engine of the 135is.

I'll take the one on the left. Wait... I already did! No way I could get in and out of the one on the right on a daily basis.

We gotta get a shot of both of our cars side by side!

PS: thanks for not getting me in that photo and blowing my Internet cover...
