Originally posted by Chilezen View PostFinals week. I think I have two A's in the bag, with one more expected to come. Yay!
Also been doing a lot of car maintenance because my smog cert is due. Spark plugs, cap & rotor, air filter, repaired two vacuum leaks (yay smoke machines), emptied my catch can... and soon will replace the fuel filter, and do an oil change. I currently have a fuel cleaner (BG 44K) in the tank, cleaning out the injectors. Do I need to be doing all of this? Nah, but my car's been feeling underpowered lately and I'm covering the basics to bring it back up. Feels better already!
Additionally, I've taken apart my passenger seat to diag the stuck recliner. Dude, the cable is broken, the gear levers are gunked up, and all the shocks are out of gas. Damn! I can replace a cable and clean out the gunk, but the shocks are crazy expensive, might as well put that money towards a new seat.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

The key/cylinder set from ecs is so worth it. The doors and trunk lock and unlock like butter now. I can finally lock my doors again without leaving the window cracked and locking it by hand. And I now have 4 brand new keys! Totally worth it. Got some new emblems too. Now as soon as my nrg short hub comes in I can install my renown wheel.

Checking in from Barcelona. Cool story bro from today: Saw a Diamantschwarz E30 318i 4-door (almost exactly like mine but likely an M40), lowered, on BBS RS with French Hellas cruising by our Airbnb. Tried to give chase on foot, but my efforts were futile.

LMAO. In my defense I was a little hungover/tired and it took me a few seconds to register what I head just seen. Also that's pretty sick Simon. Was Kim K riding shotty?
