The weather is finally above freezing, so I gave it and it's older brother a wash.
Trying out these 20" P104sc in gloss black
I'm trying out some black wheels today as well.
Really like the way the extra sidewall of the 18s feels on track, compared to my 19s.
The 19s seem more rough over the kerbing and twitchier.

Took off the GLOC R10 pads that came with the car when I bought it and replaced with OEM pads.
I'll take some pics/measurements of the GLOC's if anyone needs some extra track pads.

Brasilcat wrotebrakes and tires are 2 areas to never skimp onIt's a Chinese made BBK,
They have different designs with they in house name or any name you want to go with.
It's a tricky decision because we know most equipment is or at least until a few months ago was made in China. So, you hope they are decent quality and either made in the same assembly line for the big name manufacturers or exact reversed engineered replicas, either way they are promising.
I researched a few companies and KOKO and DICKASE are big time manufacturers with legit brick and mortar facilities.
I just couldn't afford $8k plus for brakes.
I was going to go with a GTs look , but in the end just went with the look I prefered.
I'm very happy with it.
Message me if you need more information.
your life depends on it
not knocking it because it's made in China
because plenty of actual car parts are made there
but if this is a knockoff and there's any doubt as to the quality and performance of the brakes, I'm not going to risk my life to save some money just to get the looks
Went for a drive down PCH yesterday which seems far few and in between now a days.
Got a lot of compliments and had a bunch of fun pulls against a F80 M3.
Reminded myself why I can't get myself to sell this car.

I was out in the garage last night and I bought some replacement badges from IND a few weeks ago that I forgot about.
Was holding them up before I peeled the backing off and it looks like they aren't even close to being able to fit. Do these look like aftermarket fender vents or am I just an idiot?

Picked up single hump dash and a spare trunk lid from the freight terminal. I need to figure out where I can get a quality carbon GT4 wing. Any suggestions?
How much was the dash? Looks new. I'd love to find one and just put in storage just in case I ever want to swap.

Rino924 wroteAbout $400 shipped for the trunk and dash. Hard to say on the dash price because seller took off some money for buying both. I want to say dash was going to be around $200 shipped by itself.How much was the dash? Looks new. I'd love to find one and just put in storage just in case I ever want to swap.
I think I got lucky. It is near flawless. I would've rather bought one locally so I could ensure it is perfect but I looked and didn't see them pop up that often in my area.
Deck lid has some scratches heavier than I thought, may not buff out but it is for mounting a wing so maybe I should try to hide my OCD on this one rather than paying to repaint it.
Rino924 wroteThink I had a similar problem; the issue was the light was pushed out a bit to far, just had to reseat it. Unfortunately for me, that required the gills to be out to reseat.I was out in the garage last night and I bought some replacement badges from IND a few weeks ago that I forgot about.

Yeah I just watched a video popping out the gills on an E90. Looks really easy to snap something or scratch a fender.
Just upgraded my two diff front bushing bolts to 12.9 grade instead of the stock 10.9 grade. Read a lot of horror stories about the bolts shearing, so hopefully this helps! I was worried about the partial thread of the 12.9 not fitting, but they fit perfectly.

I would suggest changing the bushings out. They are so soft and allow for a ton of movement. The rear mount is made out of a soft foam and might as well be a Nerf dart wrapped around in there with the bolt going through it.
