In anticipation of summer driving, had an appointment scheduled for this morning to get brand new PS4S installed. They felt great on the drive home.
It’s snowing now. Freakin Denver

Your yearly coolant change makes me feel bad. The one fluid I "never"change, once during my 10y ownership. You settle with draining the radiator or draining complete engine? |

Since the car never sees freezing temps I run an 80/20 water to coolant ratio with 24 ounces of water wetter. Started with this mix about 8 years ago. Car has never run cooler.

Getting ready for the track season and I have decided to put some re$ources into safety. I purchased a fire extinguisher bracket From aliexpress and with a modification on the latch, it works fine for the e90. The latch is supposed to have a tall red metal handle but it interferes with seat position. This option may actually be more effective. I will have my wife use her heavy duty sewing machine and will turn this strap into a loop.
I’ve also invested in some fire resistant clothing: pants, socks, shirt, baclava, gloves and shoes. I can’t emotionally go full race suit at my skill level; I already walk around feeling like George Costanza. |

Probably around 8 quarts. I've never measured to be honest.
Call me pessimistic but I don't believe in "forever fluids". Trans and diffs get flushed every 3 or so years.

I picked up my car from a buddy's garage, topped it off with a qt of oil, ran errands, and did some spirited driving. Hoping to wash it this week and finish putting on a few remaining modifications.

Almost done with my G1 install. Just need to figure out the radiator mounting, wait on 2 parts from ESS, and get my tune from Alex. Very exciting! My little guy helped a little too.

Ah, the jack stands, front tires and bumper off look I know well. The ESS is not the prettiest kit to look at but probably the best bang for your buck. I had the ess 550 with the vortech supercharger. I didn’t care for the can-of-rocks sound at idle (not an issue with the G1), but was so impressed how well such a simple kit performed (the 550 had no intercooler system). I think you’re going to enjoy the heck out of that kit and congrats on joining the diy supercharger club! |
