What have you done to your car today?

Flashing Brake Light

In a similar vein: swapped out my broken 3rd brake light. Spent the last 6 months tapping it back into place upon closing the boot, so that’s a ritual that’ll probably have to wear off a bit :lol:

Marty, where did you get that rear lip (spoiler)? I like it!

Fixed the passenger door membrane. Been having a leak for years that would gather underneath the passenger seat. I garage my car since it's my daily but when there are downpours it sucks

Found out the membrane was detached on the bottom and I could see the water residue where it would leak through. Apparently the window regulator was changed.

Used a heat gun and heated both sides of the black butyl and waited for it to get sticky and soft and then stuck them together. Used some gortilla tape on the spots that could become detached. So far it seems okay but we haven't had a downpour yet so time will tell lol.

Relatively easy fix if your membrane isn't ripped or destroyed, that butyl comes back to life with some heat!

Thanks! It’s made to order by Silvano in Germany, and resells via Burkhart. It’s a carbon copy (ha!) of the original aero spoiler. I got an old one kicking around that’s got clearcoat damage, and needs a paintjob. DM me if you’re interested

Fitted two new rear shocks and top mounts to my E89 removing the trim in the boot to get at the top mounts was a Pita!

Used my Seasucker on my coupe for the first time today…the bike survived! I did stop and check it loads if I’m honest because the thought of having thousands of pounds worth of bike held to my roof with suctions does seem a bit odd / silly!

Added 20mm spacers to the rear and pretty disappointed to be honest. Sticks out too much imo. Surprised so many people say 20mm works. For me now 15mm looks more like the optimum. Also strange there’s so much negative camber.

Been out for a drive with the roof down early this morning. Went over to Harry Metcalfe’s Cotswolds test road (it really is good and feels almost Wales like). The MR shone brightly and sounded epic (Eventuri intake).
Came back and cleaned the engine bed (wet clean) and then the interior. She’s looking good (on the inside at least).

I'm thinking the further you place that wheel from the pivot point of the suspension, the more it will compress the spring and the more camber will occur. For example using a shorter lever to compress a spring vs a longer lever.

Spacers always look silly on a standard height car.

Woken from hibernation, taxed & tested for another year and, seeing as roof mounted bike racks are all the rage in the past week, straight into chauffeur duties (however looking forward to some non-ultility based trips in the coming months too).

It's an opinion.
Not all will agree. :roll:

Freshly tinted windows and a good clean… hope the sun stays out..

 

[Obicoke]

Today I just gave a bit of a polish to everything under the bonnet!! happy days...

I’ve done more head scratching than anything.
Removed airbox and pipe work, throttle body out as well. Now trying to work out the physics of how to fit anything let alone hands or tools under the manifold to get to the starter motor…..,
