Haha I'm already saving for a set m paras ^_^

Last week I bought a Liqui Moly additive against worn hydraulic lifters, and now I have less problems with cold starts. This noise is almost away :thumbsup:

Meanwhile in Germany on the way back home from work

Doctor DISA is not amused .... :cry:

The last months I was wondering about a whistle from 3000rpm. Now I know where the whistle came from and I got a nice rattle for free too ...

But it's ok for the first DISA after 220,000 km (about 137k miles)

Just a quick update ;)

When I had this DiSa problem I wanted to remove it and make a quick visual testing. I have dropped my tool and had to remove the protective plate ....
Just removed the bolts and put them back again. Since then I have no more problems with the DiSa :thumbsup:
But I've connected this to an oil change.
So after I fixed my DiSa it was time to go to the next problem and I got this here

(my MFT and Claybars are not in the picture )
I clayed the shi* out of the Orientblau and it was the first time that I've got a machine in my hand :o
This was just a test with Menzerna PF 2500 / SF 4000

This was my first machine polish and there are still a few swirls but I like it ^_^
Two pics with my old crappy Fujifilm digicam

Before I forget it...

H&R 55/35mm Springs (~35/15 for the Coupe) and smoked DEPO front indicators are on the way.

And when the sun is shining again, I will try out my new Nikon Coolpix

I picked the best photos ot of 150 ^_^ . The resolution was to big (over 10MB each pic) so I downsized them. Now they have a bad quality <_<

So I fitted my H&R Springs :thumbup:
Not sure about it but I think my old springs were the normal e46. I measured the distance between the wheel hub and the wing/fender and compared them with my mom's touring (no m-tech). It was the same distance

Looks nice mate, the drop has definitely made the difference, need to clay my car also, just having good weather and time.

But have to say I prefer it on the bbs ch's to the parallels

My other choice would be the Carsonic CSW2 (german tüv approved LM reps). But 118HP and 19" ... mhh let me think about the driving dynamic ... Nope I love the M-Parallels but the CH can rock this now 11910369155_3bcff8f109_c.jpg 11911244856_d2d229bed2_c.jpg 11910789894_32867a8e44_c.jpg 11910761764_3b22ce89b1_c.jpg Gesendet von meinem iPhone mit Tapatalk

This digusting winter/salt/dirt and sh** camouflage was removed. Looked really nice but there is thin layer again ...

Soon (tomorrow) this little fella will look like this again :wub:
The other day I drove him on the Autobahn. Pretty fast for this small and old thing under the bonnet. 1 km behind a lorry , surrounded by Walls - 3rd gear and windows down :thumbup:
After this my coupe scared me bit, this thing run into rev limiter without struggling. I was used to " I won't rev higher, take the next gear" - btw Dr DiSa works fine since his last strike

So, today I cleaned my BBS

Good

Better

:wub:

Tomorrow I will bring them to our local Detailer. Hope he can repair this :wacko:

12819815163_7f4390ddb7_c.jpg

The next two things on my list are

  • Facelift look rear lights (trunk)
  • Rust removal on the front wings ( maybe there is enough time for a complete cutting polish against the deeper scratches )
