      Picked up my buddy and went to the junk yard today and got parts. Got a new cruise control switch, m20 coolant reservoir, along with one BMW premium sound rear speaker.

        Rear suspension refresh. Shocks with new lifetime warranty Sachs gas filled, new billet aluminum urethane shock mounts, new spring pads and urethane sway bar bushings. My left rear shock was completely shot and squeaked like two mice fucking. Drove me absolutely nuts.

            Sprayed nthe tailights



            Also: changed plugs and wires, new belts (timingbelt coming soon), oil change with also new oil drain plug for no leakage and took off Mass airflow. Im gonna clean it cuz when I get on the gas it almost feels and sounds like a clogged air filter box but there's no filter in it. It sometimes wants to choke but never does enough to shut off the car other wise drives fine as long as I eaze into the gas.<-- also checked the fuel filter seems fine but goin to replace tomorow.

                        Took the head for the m52 in to the machine shop to have it checked out. In protest of how much the rates went up I did a couple of Cookies and hauled ass home. Then I apologized to her for how hard I drove her. ooops

                              I was finally able to get the time to replace my cruise control switch. And the best thing is that since I did it last night at 1 in the morning cus I was bored, It saved me a couple speeding tickets. I got super lucky there LOL.

                                took out the alarm system and thought of what else to fix.
