The front trim was a pain in the ass to install.

Edit: Pics of my hood are in the last post of the previous page.

Thank you thank you.

I'm now letting my wife sleep in a little because she's was a Navy Nurse for five years. I'm going to let her do whatever she wants today. :thumbsuP:

wow, that did come out looking nice, gatr.
your wife's car the other car? you're a brave man...I'd swap spots to ensure I'm in control of the door dings.

New shift knob for Ryan:



And since y'all asked so nicely, I made a video of the M5 noises. This is just a quick 2nd gear pull to redline. I don't do street racing or YouTube videos much so this is my best effort :P


My buddy who bought the M5 told me "it has a bit of an oil leak so please check the level." Uhhh yeah. Front timing case is hemorrhaging oil all over everywhere. Thankfully the car will yell at me for the oil level getting low and I can just dump a quart back in. I think he may want to fix this before driving the ol' girl back to California...

I look forward to polishing his knob occasionally to keep it in tip-top shape.

Still love my Mishimoto weight knob though...it's taller than my coffee mug, and gives a nice confident shit, especially with the extra leverage.

See...Justin AND Majofo trying to find a leak in their engine bay. I'm telling y'all...they are the same person!

Brake_L8

I've found that less coffee and more fiber helps, but if you just need a shift knob then so much the better.

I drive it and it leaks.

I jack it up to look for the leak and its not leaking


doesnt that shit always happen?
bring the car to the dealership for a noise....
dealer hears no noise.

wtf mate!


im thinking its either the valve cover gasket, or worse the rear main seal!

Brake_L8

Well have you looked around the valve cover yet? See if it's damp/seeping. You may only get the leak there if you romp on it and at idle, it's not bad. My M3 is doing that right now... no leak if it's idling, but the second you run it up the revs, you smell it leaking and burning on the exhaust.

How many miles? I'd suspect VCG before rear main unless you're getting really up there on the odometer.

Probably your oil pump o ring Justin. I recently replaced mine. Gotta remove oil pan and t belt IIRC to get to it.

Nice hood gatr but I think the car needs supporting mods to pull it off

Gatr - car looks good.

The IS is leaking from the rear main seal too. IDGAF.

Jamie's 08 TL

Nice knob RS! I'd shift it!!!

Thanks Jamie...let's get Jake in here and get this party started!

Seriously though...WTF Dennis...oh, oil pump seal...ONLY NEED TO TAKE OUT THE TB AND OIL PAN IIRC!?!? That's some MAJOR fkng labor there! Wow.

and OMG, what a misspelling...good catch on the confident sh*t.

Protip - don't try to catch shit of any kind.

Hard to avoid when I'm draining my poor dog's anal glands. That's actually a true story. She gets so happy when I do...no more scooting everywhere.

All that labor for a $5 seal. If I had to pay to get it done I probably would not have done it.

That's insane, man...wow.

Morning.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Why yes, yes it is!

TacoBello

Have you looked at the engine? I hear that's where oil leaks from, about 89% of the time.

TacoBello

Justn, the leaking o ring is a major concern. Try using these to fix the problem:

Jamie's 08 TL

We can but, the knob in his pic is just average. However, your knob is longer and looks much more fun to shift!

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

fun fact, I loved it so much, I put the same exact one in the S2000.
The weighted and taller shifter offers a great feel. It's also wide enough across the top to still hold it palm down so you can shift it however. I try going back to stock or even the spun resin one I have to change it up, but always go back to this one immediately.

RS, looks like you have silver rings around your gauge bezel. Those would look sick, complimenting the TL interior. Hey, I just found a new project for you! Get it done, make sure it's flawless, and report back with photos and a price to do it for the rest of us...



Also, how do you get your shift boot to stay up with the aftermarket shifter?

Edit: wait, I must be on drugs- those ARE silver rings, aren't they? *drool*

Jamie's 08 TL

Hmm.. Sounds interesting!

We've pretty much always had these spots. She drives a 2010 Traverse LTZ.

Somehwere where the oil is being kept. That should narrow it down.

Frigid day. But, gotta run some errands...


Back to work tomorrow.

Jamie's 08 TL

I think those Rockstar tail lights would go great with the hood! Not the ones on his car, but the ones he calls Rockstars in the pic he posted for Justin. BTW, I'm Jamie (obviously)

Brake_L8

Guhhh, I like the black interior so much more than tan.

Although, no nav? Was a homeless person the first owner of your car?
