wow...time flies...
let me post a few new pics to help catch up with the progress as we reach the midpoint of the summer season...
so, as mentioned, the car mostly sat in the garage during the winter time. this, however, did not keep me from picking up some parts to help start the project and help prepare the car for the track.
here are a list of things that collected dust all winter in my garage until about April...
- BMW Performance Black Grills
- Berk Technology Axle Back
- Berk Technology Mid-pipes
- SS Brake Lines
- Porterfield R4 Track Pads
- Castrol SRF Brake Fluid
when April rolled around, i finally took the car to my preferred shop - Drive Auto Works (
http://www.driveautoworks.com/). they've worked on my previous cars and they've always taken care of my friends and family's cars for at least 5 years now. they offer 2 locations in NJ - Clifton and Mountainside.
Grill Pics (pardon the dust/pollen)
Berk
- since this was one of the earlier purchases, i decided to send the exhaust to my friends at The Allow Artists (
http://thealloyartists.com/) for some ceramic coating. i asked them to just coat the muffler and tips for me. i was very happy with their work (as usual).
Brakes
- getting ready for the track with the R4 track pads and some "never boil" brake fluid (not pictured were the SS lines as mentioned in the parts listed above)
Oil Change
- since it has already been 6 months of my ownership and i had a track day scheduled for early May with the ACNA-NJ, i decided to just go ahead and get some fresh oil
that is it for now...
these services and pictures were taken about a week before the track wheels/tires were picked up.
