Stainless steel brake lines, big brake conversion.

purchased an 8" sub to make an under seat enclosure thanks to the thread on here, got my diff rebuilt with all new seals & bearings, also a new crankcase breather hose.

Rebuilt my 43 year old heater valve.  Diaphragm was hard as bakelite and didn't want to come out. Also my 10 year old Wahler Thermostat was sticky and lazy and got replaced. I dumped it in hot water and remained shut for 10-20 seconds (i looked away and then found it fully open). The new one opened instantly.
 


 


 


 

 

Spent a bit of time adjusting my fog lights.  One of them was aimed way too low.  Got 'em nicely dialed in.


 


 

 

Got my M535i out of the garage for the first time this year, and the leaves on the trees are finally popping out.  Two sure signs spring is here.  

Got my windshield wiper fluid sprayers working. Ordered new hood insulation retaining screws. 

Pulled Minerva out of hibernation.

Replaced all my sparkplugs today, although the old ones looked super good! 

installed some extra spring pads in the rear of my m5 a few weeks ago, to attempt to correct the reverse rake. can't wait to change out the Spax springs for something else.

it's currently my only daily drivable car while the e39 is off to the body shop. been a long time since i've regularly driven it so i'm glad to bond with it again.
