My iX + what i've done so far...

[audiquattrot]

oh and one more....LOL I kinda defeated the purpose of refinishing my black leather sport seats....gonna have the bolsters redone in black leatherette, and found a matching rear bench + rear headrests.

spent 2hrs yesterday w/ a drill and wire brush bits to get the intake mani looking better. And spent this evening putting the new valve cover, gasket, plug wires & strut bar in. That damn strut bar was a PITA to get on!! Even jacking the car on one side didn't do much.

I'm happy w/ the results!

I was amazed at how much of a diff that strut tower bar made. So much tighter around the corners, and I don't feel the body flex....much more positive feedback in the steering. Well worth the $115! btw they aren't bavauto wires, they're Ireland Engineering.

lol u know how that can be. :D it's a disease/addiction.

how's your E30 coming along??

[audiquattrot]

had Eurosport in Westfield NJ rebuild a transfer case for me....and also at the same time had this front driveshaft spacer w/ threaded front shaft & hardware installed (spacer & modified shaft done by Moonlite Motorwerks). So far so good! No vibrations and it seems like a solid quality piece.

If you don't plan on selling the black sport seats just swap pieces around!

i was thinking that, but both sets of seats are too clean to start swapping seats. I found bolsters to fix the houndstooth seats, but I'm really loving the leather so I'm holding off putting the houndstooth for now.
