S52 finally!

[2mAn]

First real wash in months.

Looking great, basically built a 1 of 1 MZ3

Thanks, latest hurdle is getting logs to send the tuner. It's not seen by the software.

I have these, need to have them painted.

[parkerbink]

Logs show weird MAF fluctuation so I replaced the intake hoses with smoother/less twists.

Just drove 40 minutes each way to drop the M vent panels at the body shop, he said he needs the car to paint them, I said I thought you could figure the color, that's why I came in the car. He looked me dead in the eye, said do you know what color this is? I said Atlanta Blau metallic #306? He said NO! It is NIGHTMARE BLUE. I need the car.

lol

I left them so he can start the preparation & will drop it off in a week or 2 when it is absolutely too hot to drive.

Finally got a new file from Active, car feels good, waiting to get a response on the log to be certain it is running happily.

The Innovate MAP sensor shit the bed, reads 43.8 pounds at all times.

Wheeeee

[parkerbink]

Everything the PO touched was a mess at best, he replaced the fuel pump.

Got a DW 300 for the BMW.

[parkerbink]

Apparently, we banged the valve cover on the firewall, it is leaking. :(

So I got a new one with gaskets.

[parkerbink]

Got the new MAP sensor in.

[parkerbink]

It is much louder in the car. lol

Sounds pretty good and moves quickly

[parkerbink]

Previous owner 1/2 Ass shitty repairs rears its ugly head again.

The 3rd brake light lens was old so I got a new one.

Supposed to disconnect electrical connector, unscrew 2 screws, pop out the lens & light assembly, reverse

NO! he glued the motherfucker in!

[parkerbink]

Liking the brake lights, kind of shocking.

[parkerbink]

ZHP weighted shift knob came today, man it's nice!

[parkerbink]

Reasonable quality non-OEM grilles have been a PITA to find, but I finally did!

[parkerbink]

Dropped the Z at the body shop, it's first time away from home, they grow up so fast :P
