Certainly not in that company lol. Everybody else's cars sounded glorious, mine was quiet and subtle (a good thing, sometimes). And, my God, the -35i's are fast in a straight line (I kept up with ease in the corners, though)!

Yeah, the Prius is always in stealth mode.

Hmm, that might be true... If I do have a crack in my third brake light, it's not obvious.
Pics of theirs, anyone?

The cracks in my third brake light are obvious. You can't miss them. If you have a crack, you would know.

Here's a quick pic of the crack in the center. The other one is on the driver's side of the light.

Started installing my VRSF 5" stepped FMIC on Saturday. After removing the tray and IC, i noted a bit of oil splattered on a couple of parts. Reassembled the car back to stock and took my ass over to SpeedLogic. Diagnosed with a leaking OFHG and another leaking gasket, glad I took the car in right away instead of messing around. I think my Fuel Pump is on it's way out too, so I am pretty close to hitting the OFHG, Water Pump, Fuel Pump trifecta after 15 months of ownership and 52k total miles on the car. Yay BMW.

We'll have to swap cars at some point so you can mess about in mine with the new suspension (which I have yet to share here lol)

You: *Breathes lightly* Me: OKAY FINE. I'll do it, don't hurt me any more! How are those (suspension components that shall remain nameless to create suspense in the forums)? My dad put some (above suspension components, from another brand) on his GTI, and it does (applicable things) beautifully. I'm jelly, so I've been lightly shopping... I'm not, however, jelly that he has a slipping clutch at 24k miles (Mk7's have WEAK clutches) with stock power. Why, maybe a little (he's getting a Stage 2 with a lightened flywheel)... Edit: Ninja edit to preserve secrecy...

Oh are we complaining about 3rd brake lights?
Original - replaced by PO (the tabs were already filed down on the light I pulled) 2nd - cracked 3rd - genuine BMW that blew apart in 3 months 4th - dorman that doesn't fit that great but hasn't exploded 5th - genuine BMW light still sitting brand new in box in my garage (from warranty) Also I parked by the beach near Daytona, the gravel was super uneven and gave my car great (but useless) fitment. This was not rubbing! Aw I wish I were around your guys' area so I could join in the on the fun.

Oh I'm having all sorts of fun,
tightening 500 nuts. We aren't completely sure why they are coming loose, time will lead to an answer. But I know that I'm one of the few on snow tires with bolts. Softer tire/tread block may play a factor. I didn't tighten them too much. Enough to deform tread. How do you apply a TQ value, exposed length, tread deformation value to something that squishes unevenly. I have absolutely beat the shit out of them. This last event was out 4th. Each is about 5 hours with me doing about 2+ hours of lapping, each lap being around a minute. So that maths to about 480 laps, but I'd say I've done close to 400? Working out the numbers isn't something I think about, but now that I do; damn I like to have too much fun. |

I'm fearing I may need a clutch soonish as well, though it's hard to tell with these self-adjusting units. Quote:

Nope. Nyloc nuts. No one else has had too much trouble I know of, but all are on junk summer tires, old race tires, etc. I'm the odd man out with my soft winter tires with good tread still (things have like 8/32nds left). Really not too bad to tighten. Once a guy gets in a rhythm it's about an hours time. |
