I did the rear brakes and re-lubed the caliper guide pins.

Replaced all my old filthy lugs with new fresh ones. I'm sure there is a way to clean and polish up the old ones.

^^ lug nuts are a wear item. You did well replacing them instead of cleaning them

Almost finished the turbo install but ran into some issues... :alone:

the WRX has some fakass carbon fiber trim and i decided to try my hand at flocking. it turned out way better than i thought it would.

I thought i'd have to strip it all back and just spray paint it since i"m such a hack lol.

^^ you can also get this black velvet wrap that is very similar. Always another option for other pieces

replaced my 5 inch VRSF fmic with a 7.5 Race fmic

This thing is a beast !

Lots of cutting involved to get it to fit. It had to be done. IAT temps were getting out of control on the drag strip.

2007 E92 335i / VRSF FBO + Inlets/ 11.5 @ 119 / Instagram @silent11n54

installed a custom chassis mount aluminum front splitter. i contacted the same person who made my aluminum skidplate and organized a group buy to make this project happen. installed it today. did the industry standard 200lb gorilla test and it holds me perfectly fine.

perfectly compliments the skidplate, and shouldn't be damaging my motor anytime soon from rocks.

Just curious. Is that black bar some kind of crash bar? That can't be road legal can it?

Just a license plate mount lightbar

I've always curious about these skid plates, bumper bars etc. Since all the cars come out of the factory designed in a way to reduce pedestrian injury etc. Does someone have any additional recourse to sue you personally if they were struck by a car with a skid plate hanging out like that?

If that thing is strong enough to hold 200lb, that thing is going to cut your damn legs off if it hit you. I've always been curious from a liability standpoint.

I see jeeps roll around with the big wrap-around metal grills all the time. Can someone sue the fuck out of you if you smoke someone with those on your car since the Jeep owner pretty much-wrapped iron pipes around the soft plastic bumper? I mean, it's not that much different that me welding a spike to the front of my Astro van.

Not hating, legit question.

+1 im also wondering about the same thing
anybody have actual facts to contribute instead of assumptions?

*anything* that alters a vehicle has an inherent risk to it. Whether a Jeep running around with a stinger front bumper, a tow truck with an aftermarket winch, a track car with a splitter, a basic 99 Honda Civic that’s lowered (and thus changes pedestrian contact area when hit).

Best thing you can do is not be stupid, be honest if you get into an accident and be a defensive driver

I like the idea - but I wouldn't even want to work around the front of the car with that thing on there. RIP legs

It’s modular. All can be removed in 3 minutes or less

Ahh quickly able to hide the evidence! Smrt LUL

Made Apexi N1 not sound like rice.

What did your wife do to the car today

I should post the damage my wife made on the TE37 that one time she drove my car....

Same boat over hear. Freshly powder coated my buddy club p1's, put fresh stickers on them and on the 2nd time out with the car she scraped two and chewed one of the stickers up too :(

At least she's consistent? :badpokerface:

No kidding, and the most you ever get out of it is a little "oopsie my bad" if you're lucky and a complete expectation that it's no big deal.

Meanwhile you leave the toilet seat up a couple times in a row and it's fucking world war 3.

You should have seen the stream of texts she sent me after. Enough to make a sailor blush

Or if you do get mad, you get "oh you love the car more than you love me".

But who knows, I'm not married, maybe that's just a girlfriend thing.
