What did you do to your car today?

[killerkiyoshi]

just ordered a new clutch brakes and front struts that will be my project for next Saturday.
if I remember correctly last time I change the clutch on a ti I hated my life until the starter was off... Lol

Had some left over moregrun color paint from my front bumper job, so I painted the black door handles body color. Car looks more finished in my opinion.

Chrome rings on my 96.

Picked up a set of ACS 318ti springs for $50. They don't seem as popular as the H&R sports but at that price I figured it was worth a try. That also means I have about all the parts needed to replace my springs and shocks (Bilstein sports). Also will be doing control arms, tie-rods, lollipops, etc at the same time.

Should be a noticeable difference in compared to the original stuff I think is still on the car.

Bought a bunch of parts to get start to get it running safely again.

Valve cover gasket + spark plugs
Air + cabin filters
Rear rotors
Front + rear pads (Stoptech Street)

Brake pads are expensive...they were the most expensive parts in my whole purchase.
I'm holding out for the cheap front rotors from Bimmerworld when I buy my control arms and bushings from them.
I still need a guibo and the rest of the suspension bushings too which I will get to this summer.

It's been a long time since visiting this thread, two questions:

1. Did anyone else find aftermarket Bosch plugs to be too long (for M42)?

It's impossible to get these aftermarket plugs to line up like this:


2. What did everyone else do for this? These wires came unlabeled for "4 cyl BMW" :rollseyes

[erikerikerik]

Smoked my clutch...

Anyone recommend a replacement? have around $400'ish.
