Fixed my keyless entry remote...screw fell out and the plastic around the brass nut was worn out. Some well placed crazy glue in layers and a trimmed screw from something at work, it's all back together. __________________  No more ti. |  | | | 06-03-2011, 01:25 PM | #1412 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Ct Posts: 151 |
Picked up some rear swaybar parts yesterday to finish getting my H&R installed. Still gotta get my rims/tires(forgeline RS, and I will probably go with a michelin summer tire) on, and adjust the coilovers, etc... but I can't wait... I'm like a giddy little kid. I just gotta figure out how to lighten the front of the car more... I feel like I am getting front heavy, especially when I add the M3 brakes... any suggestions? I already have CF hood, battery relocate, A/C delete, and Clutch Fan Delete. BTW its a 330ti w/ the S50b30. I'm thinking I might need to do eventually:
LTW/underdrive pulleys, exhaust manifold, and power steering delete. Which will hopefully make up for the front suspension stuff I wanna do, like strut bars, etc.. Any thoughts? I also tend to drive around without a passenger seat... because why not? the vaders weigh like 70-80 lbs. I also want LTW seats... ::sigh:: there is always so much more to do, just when I feel accomplished for getting something done. | | | | | 06-03-2011, 02:38 PM | #1413 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Potomac Falls VA DMV Posts: 1,794 |

Replaced the sliders and lift blocks on the sunroof, and then F'd the whole thing up. Now have the sunroof cassette ripped out and the interior torn out. Haven't figured out how to reassemble it properly. __________________ No more ti. | | | | | 06-04-2011, 04:04 AM | #1418 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Potomac Falls VA DMV Posts: 1,794 |

First time I got under my car using my jackstands. It's absolutely terrifying under there... took me about 20 minutes of just slow breathing and mental preparation to get my ass under the car  Gave a good wack to the starter to see if it would start the car. Unfortunately not :/ | | | | | 06-04-2011, 05:52 AM | #1420 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Oakland Posts: 187 |
Dug out both alarm brains. Will attempt to install them tomorrow... __________________

Got the sunroof together sunday, dropped the headliner and a pillars off at the upholstery shop. They will be done today, and I'll install tomorrow morning. __________________ No more ti. | | | | | 06-07-2011, 02:12 AM | #1422 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2011 Location: Michigan Posts: 183 |
Just finished changing a door lock actuator and an oil change. The oil change was easy, the lock actuator not so much. Before I got everything working right I had the door lock mechanism out 4 or 5 times. The first time took about 3 hours then I got so I could unhang it a and pull the actuator in a few minutes. My arm is all scraped up.
Plus I ended up having to fix the door pocket and a bunch of broken door standoffs as well.
Oh, and I changed the air filter and reset the oil change light.

I have also had my fair share of getting pulled over for loud exhaust... like every car I have ever owned it feels like. so far so good on the Ti though, its not that loud unless I really unload it. and then... who can catch me to stop me anyway, HAHA! I do want to get a Borla resonator tip though just to add a slight piece of mind, and to go with the XR-1 muffler, but mostly for the looks though. | | | | | 06-07-2011, 11:48 AM | #1424 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2010 Location: Potomac Falls VA DMV Posts: 1,794 |

I installed my x brace and put the stock brace in the rear location, It scrapes on speed bumps now. Still trying to figure out my trunk wiring to get my keyless working so I don't have to replace my drivers door lock... __________________
