Another e39 eBay fan after the other one died after a year or 2... Wish I would have known FCP offers these lower priced e39 fans before i purchased this one but oh well...

Finally got the black front seat belts in. I'd like to paint the middle b pillar trim black. I need to replace the b and c pillars so will do that then. Also ordered an arm rest phone delete...

Nope kinda of digging the 2 tone. Already has black carpet and black leather dash too. May get alcantera headliner and pillars at some point but someone did the headliner before and its still perfect, plus beige sport seats seem to be more rare than black or gray...Originally Posted by Ruskii

Well it appears Castor in the front, and Camber, in the rear are both still out of limits. I haven’t read all the pages of the thread but if you have lowering springs then that will affect the numbers.
Is is it ok? I have no idea, as long as it drives straight and the tires wear evenly, youre good.

I don't recall removing foam from my speaker deck when swapping monsoons. Mind sharing the purpose?

Dville noted this to allow the monsoons to breathe and port into the trunk better. I'd have to hear one with the foam still in to see the difference...

The numbers on 5 dropped to like 20 after I shot the pic. Not bad for 250k...

I've personally only seen one Roughness that looked that good. It was Iceman's. Very impressive.

Nice work (as always).
I need to get out and see your cars. I am still driving my sport shorty. Love it. Needs some TLC (preventative maintenance) but still a great car.

Replaced the front driver door lock actuator...

You sure the engine was running?

Well that was shortly lived... Trans went into failsafe on the way to work and the gears are not lit up or selected. I will have to limp her home. Luckily I have access to a few position switches...
