Washed my car after work and got out the summer wheels. I wiped them down and applied a new glass sealant to them. I will be dropping the car off at a local shop for an oil change, balance my wheels and replace my jacked up Pa state inspection & Emissions stickers because I had my windshield replaced. It's getting close to DRAGON TIME! :devil:
Washed your car after work? After the picture you posted? No way! The Dave we know would never do such a shabby job. That was at least two days of washing. If you really did that after work we need to get you to a doctor. :lol::lol::lol:
Finally installed the R56S front calipers, Pagid rotors, Stoptech pads and lines, and bled out all the old brake fluid for a fresh fill of Motul RBF600. Next: Suspension.
Got the new Powerflex front control arm bushings on. Wow were the old ones bad. The car is an '05 with only 45k mi but they were shot. Alignment rack tomorrow.
Ordered a new filter for an erl change and bought the Forge charge pipe Headed up to WMW (sorry Dave.0, it's local for me) after work to pick up my new MINI swag. I love blowing money apparently Also, why the hell is oil 30 or so bux for the 5qt jug at autozone and 20 at the wallmarts? I had $40.00 in autozone bux to use up and I used up 38 of it on f'n oil. It's (sort of) free but still.
Got the safety and emissions done for registration. Mechanic let me poke around while it was on a lift and there's an oil leak in the back. Most likely cause? Here are some terrible potato pics. It seems to cover the CV boot on the passenger side mostly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
rear of engine passenger side could be the gasket to the oil heat exchanger or drippings from the last filter change. I had oil some come from the valve cover in that same area. If it appears to be creeping across the bottom of the motor coming from the front, then it's either dip stick tube o-ring (most likely) or crank position sensor o-ring, but that's more over to the driver's side.
Installed some Osram Rallye's, got the title switched over, registered and ran some errands. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Wa(r)shed it last night after work. And today finally managed a picture next to this.... Gotta respect the elders.
Discovered when i went to put my plates on that the holes don't match on the hatch lid....is there suppose to be some kind of frame or bracket for the license plate? PO just drilled holes in his plate to fit. So i ordered one, can't believe they're $35-40! Yeesh. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
