Thanks John. Been dealing with life but I'm back.

Thanks Brad. Was time well spent.

Worth the time. For sure.

Agreed.

I have the Carsmo ***** and GTR starter button as well. Hope you will enjoy them as much as I have.

 

Awww, yeeeaa that's it! That's the one!

 

hahaha the crowd looks so perplexed like they dont know how to react

 

Super clean engine bay! And your headlights turned out great.


What part of SoCal are you in, Bota?

 

Thanks Brother. I used Aerospace 404 on the engine bay. I use that for a lot of my detailing. The headlights had to be done. That fogged white discoloration crap started so I just had to kill it.


I moved from Oceanside to live in the high desert in Apple Valley about 10 years ago, but I'm originally from the I.E. (Redlands). Where in So Cal are you from?

 

Yesterday I ordered my Hotchkis sways from tire rack and to my surprise they showed up today.

So I installed them along with the Moog end links. Which by the way are considerably thicker than OEM. I had a minor clunk and now it's gone.

While under the car I noticed that the center diff bushing is blown so that's on the list now.

 

The differential bushings on these cars are terrible, I'm surprised, for a luxury sedan, it has several inferior quality products.

 

You know, if you're dropping the rear end anyway... nudge nudge

 

I'll DIY for sure. I'm a glutton for punishment.

I'll probably spend the money on the Z1 removal tool.

I would love to do the gear change but I do far too much highway driving.
Maybe if this car becomes a toy and I get a new daily I'll make the jump.

 

Ambitious and respectable. G'luck.

 

added factory front lip

de-badge begun

 

You won't be sorry about doing the bushings, changes the car.

Cool story about that - the shop that did mine called me today asking where I got my parts. They had another sedan in there with the same problem, and instead of charging the guy $1,300 for a new rear end, they called me and asked my opinion of the ride and final result. I guess it wasn't hard to convince him to spend $100 on the parts and $300 for labor for a true sports rear end feel.

 

You might want to double check that.....I don't the the removal tool works on the G.

 

Car looks great, I pick up my front lip today... did you install yourself or..?
