Racing Dynamics sent the missing parts.

 

I changed the plugs & cold compression tested and got a high of 195 & low of 187.5 two were 190 & one was 192.5. The swing is 7.5 well under 10% difference so it's good no?

Cylinder 4 is 195 high:


Cylinder 5 is 187.5 low:

 

Yeah that's within normal ranges.

 

Homelink auto dim compass mirror & radar detector installed. Powers on with ignition.

 

Meant to use the off picture, damn no editing!

 

Driver door pull came. Can't find masking tape that sticks to the door card.

 

Coming soon:

With bigger injectors, fuel pump & smaller pulley.

 

Not wasting any time.

 

I look forward to buying this off you when you get bored

 

Did I mention how the week started?



1400 for the bottom, 600 for the top (older than the bottom, needs to be replaced too) and 250 for new filters, 175 to install. Ain't pools fun???

Ordered this as well.

Following these instructions:

That's no bueno.
Fatigue failure?

 

Pool guy said age, hard water & it looks like there was a pressure spike.

Dogs also made a huge mess tracking the mud it created all throughout the house/yard/themselves.

FUN!!

 

Yeah, I was starting to get some fiberglass deterioration on the filter housing at our old house. Got the itchy after doing the filters from carrying it out of the way.
Luckily, never had any cracks or damage, other than freeze-induced cracks in a pump housing & check valve. Was lucky to be able to DIY those.

 

We bought the house in 2008, I replaced a motor in the sun in the summer & swore never again. I hate working on the pool.

 

Transmission & differential oil going in, hopefully, shocks too.

 

Can't stay away from this forum too long, too much gets by.

congrats on the (soon to be boosted) new car!

 

FedEx is really awful, the pool filter, supposed to arrive today, now says Wednesday & I have an appointment to install it Tuesday :P.

How does a package loop back to where it came from?

 

I used to prefer FedEx to UPS but they're both equally terrible these days.

I never thought I'd see the day when LaserShip is more reliable.

 

UPS over Fedex all day for me.

 

Every time I choose, the other fucks up.

FedEx claimed my "business" was closed so could not deliver, I called & raised hell (you have to lie & say there is a billing issue & give an account number to get a person now) Turned out the new driver did not have the gate code, they came back...

This just came...

 

Sexy

 

Meanwhile, back at the Sequoia, I am getting an Aquamist water/meth system for it.





85mm pulley came. It comes with 90mm.

 

I thought this was for the BMW and I got excited.

 

One of the water/meth kits are for the BMW, and the other the Sequoia. a guy with experience on the Tundra forum suggested using the AEM on the BMW & Aqua on the Sequoia because it has more features & the spray can be controlled better by my AEM PSB-1 when it detects the conditions to give the spray.

Also, M50 larger runner intake going in!

Lotta space nau!

 

Manifold assembled!

 

Done!

 

How's it drive now?

And what are your plans for tuning on the BMW?

 

It was already pretty good, now it's better. I can't imagine what another 100 hp/tq will feel like.

Also,

I have the glass break sensor & LED in my dash so figured I must have the factory alarm & ordered a fob, I was able to program it but there was a fault. Turned out there is a hidden switch on the radio that was armed when I installed the aftermarket radio. The hood switch was bad and when I removed it I have a fully functional remote lock/unlocking alarm. I ordered a hood switch.



Here's the fob.

SImon2 connects to OBD2, I read the car & sent the file it generated, gave them yesterday and will call today to get the license file that will allow me to data log. Send them the before file & then another after teh SC is in.

Then it's remote drive & email files back & forth.

 

Final product, liking it a whole bunch.

 

Have you driven the Z3 and determined whether there is noticeably less flex?

 

From the strut bar? I hope so, but I installed it before driving spiritedly without it. The car feels great as it is, can't wait for the strut parts to come so I may install them.

Ordered a catback, while researching I found this.

 

No idea why the site decided not to upload this in my last post, Damn you no editing!

 

It posted it twice now.

 

Fucking California sent me a registration card in my name, not the title I clearly asked for. I sent them the damn title, why would they not send me the title in my name?????


GAAAAAAA

 

Took a drive today, convertibles are the best!

 

South Mountain?

 

Not sure how I missed this acquisition, but congratulations!

Convertibles are too damn fun.

 

Yup, #2 on this list.
