All in preparation for the 4 1/2 hour drive to Norton, Mass.
Car has smoother/stronger acceleration now and I'm certainly getting better gas mileage as well.

Big thumbs up on the NGKs!

Default DDM M3 bumper Installed!

Came out pretty well. Removing that "bumper bar" is a pain in the ass!!! Do yourself a favor and get a small hammer and carefully tap out those black plastic fasteners. I was able to reuse all but one of them and since I had already ordered a replacement set, I had the one covered.

I really like the aftermarket spoiler that I had previously installed but the OEM look is a bit cleaner and well, OEM looking...

My car has gone through some serious changes in the 5 months I've owned it. See for yourself...

Noticed that my passenger side window was a little slower coming up than the driver's side. Took the door card and insulation off and discovered that the window mechanism was totally dry; had no visible lube. Applied white lithium grease liberally on the tracks, gears and pivots. Mechanism is quick and quiet now. I recommend lubing the window mechanisms as preventative maintanence, to prolong both motor and track life.

Default Lube

Good tip. My passenger side is also making noise. I'll do this trick this weekend!

Instead of dishing out a few hundred for a Go Pro, I spent $2 and a couple hours and Ive got my own camera mount that works well enough

Max will become my daily driver, now that Roddy is being more and more modified towards track-prep...

Damn that looks good! Where did you find that? If I would have known there was an Alaska Blue sport ti for sale... haha. I'm jealous.
We should do a photoshoot sometime, red and blue with contour wheels.

That is a real clean looking car James. I'm bummed that you didn't call Cindy Lou and I for an update. I guess you'll have to keep us in mind when you get the next one.
