Bonus just in!

[poopin04]

So I finally now got my bonus and I don't even know what to spend it on. I thought I buying some ESM rims, but I decided to take a pass on it, I figured getting into some under the hood maintenance is a better idea or some splurging couldn't hurt. SO here are my options, I need help figuring out what I should do first:

• New hoses/vacuum lines
• MarkD chip (got ripped off by a clone)
• Braking maintenance (Ordered through blunt and have)
• Some Sport seats (if the price is right)
• Fuel Filter

Well hoses and fuel filter are super cheap.

And "braking maintenance" should be required. Safety ftw.

[poopin04]

Fuel filter I'll try to pick up from NAPA tonight. The hoses I'm not sure where to pick up, I rather not by some crap that'll split by winter.

Brake maintenance is top of the to-do, I'm actually in debate if I should pickup the brake kit from Pelican. Any one have experience with their braking kits or should I just get everything on my own?

Just get any "blank" rotors and your pad of choice. Don't forget wear sensors and new fluid.

With my 'Bonus", I am replacing every rubber bushing in F&R suspension, Billstein Sports F&R with H&R Sport springs F&R, replacing all coolant lines, water pump, rotor, distributor, plug wires, and assorted fasteners. A few other things as well, but that's the meat of it.

I have everything broken down on an Excell spreadsheet that I sent Levent @ Gutneparts, if you'd like it. It includes BMW part #'s where applicable. PM me if you'd like it.

Like holy cow! An excel doc? Dude sounds like you've been gearing up for a long time for this bonus. But an Excel doc sure does sound like a good idea. I might have to set one up for myself.

"Don't forget wear sensors and new fluid. "

Does anyone actually have working wear sensors?

[kingston]

Well, I'm kinda OCD :)

[poopin04]

Just purchased all my brake stuff from Blunt all of 4 mins ago. And new wear sensors were part of the list. But I will have to pick up from new fluid though.

Yes, they are 3 dollars....

They are nice to have on the track.

Some of the better track pads I've used don't have cut-outs for the sensors... but you should be visually inspecting your pads before each event anyway :)

[blefevre]

Yes

Still...3 bucks....good to have :)

Anything under $10 that makes a dash light go off in my car makes me :)
