My car started making a pretty loud clunking noise in the suspension today. I need to put it on the lift to investigate... I think it is a sway bay mount or end link I hope...

Just when you think your car is sorted it falls back apart :laugh:

Turns out the lemforder idler arm is about to break off and has about an inch of play in it! Has all of 2k miles on it, WTF?

I don't drive the car easy but this is ridiculous, I'm very disappointed in parts quality these days.

I hope they warranty it.

The one I put on my 528i prevented steering from coming back to center. I put about 1000 miles on it before it started to become not as tight like a tiger.

ya know, any time you wanna just park that out at my house, let me know. i've got a warm spot in my shop you can tuck it out of the way. i might have to take it into town to "get the mail," but i'd be willing to help a brother out.

bitchin!

I finally put my interior together... I have had the under dash/glove box out of the car for months because I had not had the time to upholster the speaker pods I made, over the weekend I took the time to finish them. At the same time I installed/modified a new leather shift boot that I bought and installed my recovered M-tech 1 wheel I bought months ago. The interior is still nothing special but at least for now it is all together. I still need new floor mats and a crack free dash but I will probably never get around to that.

This week I'm working on the rear euro valance, I already welded it on last week but now I am doing the bodywork... It's only about 100 in the shop so a pretty good week for it. :roll:

The sooner I get it done the sooner I can get rid of this thing and get a real more grownup car.

Mostly I am just bored with the car, I don't usually have a daily driver this long. I need a change... A normal car that I won't turn into a project would be ideal.

Over the last few weeks in my spare time I have been working towards finishing the euro conversion, I have fully welded and bodyworked the new euro tail panel, welded up the front US trim holes and welded the antenna hole. I am also rebuilding the custom front valance I built by shortening the duck bill by 5/8".

I will most likely repaint the car a panel or more at a time when I have the time.

You should paint each panel a different color like a harlequin Golf. Just do it a different shade of white.

I could do that but it already fits that profile.

Whoa! Hold on a sec. I can't wax this thing for like 2 months. No shitting on my car until it has some protection. After that, fine.
