[Entropy] - 21 reasons why Celebrities love this workout program

[moatilliatta]

I love the lightening of that hood hinge bar. Torsion springs deleted as well?

While testing fitment of the carbon hood I found the torsion springs VIOLENTLY opened the hood which looks like it could damage things. I thoroughly go though most cars hinge system and they all usually work quite well with no resistance. Going together with the LTW hood hinge bar I left the torsion springs out. The tension on the sealing foam on the grills and hard rubber stoppers is enough to get the hood out of the latch when released, and I can lift it up from there. Works good.

Awesome updates! Love the hood hinge!

Thank you, :beer:

I want that hood hinge! Can you tell me about the seat back/bottom blower setup pictured there?

Get your drill bits ready. The Heated and cooled seats run air through a "TED" module, Works well, but can only cool 90* outside temps so much, which would be hotter interior temps.. Defiantly keeps swamp ass down, if your back is sealed to the seal you may have to lean forward to get some flow. Scroll back you'll probably find the install.

That LTW thing looks like a noodle! Must've been fun to drill it out

Just another day of building stuff for me, The previous one I've done had smaller holes, this one was a bit more tedious :beer:

Go on r3v FB and post a pic of those finished strut towers LOL I think they look great!

I remember when they were shitting on the post you did... what a bunch of 'tards

Its a bit of inner motivation to get the car track ready. Then I'd like smash some lap times first and get some feedback from some pro drivers. Then I'll waste some of my time on those fools.

The tail of the dragon is tail of the dragon but I love hanging out at the river next to Historic Tapoco Lodge Resort.


Back at the Fontana Resort we found more Z car BMWers from Florda doing a trip




I think this was diesel, I'm not sure what was looking at, and I'm still not sure.. But it was fun to stare at. All in awe just excited with nothing but a good drive ahead on my mind.


Some good group shots around the area










My yearly photo of, oh cool look at the size of this turbine.










Oh yeah.


Coke can for refrence


Oh cool, Mechanical things.


Blue Ridge Parkway


And we made it to the Clarion!




We all are probably pretty excited to be here

Photobucket is killing me.

Awesome trip!

Photobucket is killing me.

Switch to imgur - it's fast and you don't need an account.

I switched to Flickr years ago. something like $50/ year which sure sucks but at least Im not worried about them pulling photobucket BS on me. Moved most of my pics from photobucket over too... that wasnt fun.

I had flickr for years, then even paid for a little bit, but their ads in-between pictures completely turned me off from them, they just started doing all the wrong things to foster a photography community IMO. Being tied to a proprietary yahoo email too - I just grew tired of them sadly, used to love that site.

Thanks! More to continue.

I despise Photobucket and it was a hard trigger to pull when actually paying for after they destroyed the internet..

But what do you expect out of a free service.. Free.. ha And I'm pretty sure they are in it together.



SO... I finally figured out the photos that wouldn't load were RAW format on the I phone.. I had this issue before and quit using the RAW formatting, looks like that option got changed while being in the pocket, and assumed that wasn't the problem but their primitive uploader..,

JULY 2022

Progress? HOT.... So I decided not to drive and knock out more items on the to do list

I hate the weather here, please move.


But I sure wish I could get some more driving in...


Welp, I got some new wheel to fit the style of the car better. Felt it out with the kooglewerks spoiler. It'll be a bit till I mount up the spoiler, I'm still working on mechanical grip. Not like this aero is that substantial..


I decided to finally get the bumpers sorted. Fitting the NOS front bumper shrouds. One needed a confidence boost after setting around for years..


Did my old night shades inside of the side reflectors. They are no longer wired up.


Brake ducts fitted


Finally got some LTW in on the front






Feels good, Checking the CAD work for the air dam


Getting stoked






Fantastically the back side of the passenger side grill line up with the airdam, the driver side is off, but maybe I could order one that has more air openings for the radiator.


What a secrete.


Fitting up


STOKED


While here I finally got to do some finish work on the oil cooler brackets






The fan mount got some too, Need all the CFM available.


No body shop wants to touch this valance. Even if offered to bill me by the hour... One guy mentioned that his guys cant focus for that long... But I still dig deeper into looking for restoration shop that'll enjoy the work... So as usually, I get to work


What will we find.


Werk.
99 Lives on and Got some support in BMWCCA PWR2 class


323 Cartech turbo car has been freshen up


Play with oddball stuff, get oddball results. FFFFF


More X5d's...
