    Did you replace the blue carpet in the bottom section of the door panels or did you spray the carpet with dye coloring?

    I want to change mine from grey to black so bad and I am chicken to melt the fastners for the plastic frames around them. I also have the black counter parts for the switch just need to find the courage to start melting I guess.

    I actually replaced the carpet with matching leather. Never seen it done and figured I'd be the first lol.

    My BMW scared me lol..
    Yesterday I was driving, and heard high noise pitch, as I was driving past the McDonalds, I thought something there.
    But then I stopped and the noise was still present.
    I noticed it comes behind steering wheel and also some clicks from relay behind glove box, and none of the buttons worked on heater panel and it didnt move when i changed where to blow.

    I was thinking, damn, gotta take apart whole dash to see whats wrong, but then decided to take a look at heater panel, took it out and wuala.. everything started to work, seems like some bad connection.


    So I got time yesterday to try to fit new intercooler
    -E34 M60B40 + Tremec TKO 600 (sold)
    and sadly no old BMW anymore, only high powered Seat Leon Cupra 4Drive as a daily driver.

    They shipped today UPS - so early next week..

    That Corsa pipe section was listed for a 99 to 13 C6 Corvette - since it was model specific it was priced higher as a result 393.00 but it looked so close and exactly what I was looking for so I ordered it...

    I also looked closer at the cavity for the mufflers and I think they will fit without problems, just have to make hangers.

    Refilled my coolant after Thursday's leak. Also replaced my fuel filter while the car was in the air. Getting that clamp back on while the car is only on jacks is not very fun.

    I tried to take a video of the exhaust sound today before I started to tear apart - didn't work on my iPhone 7S. Didn't pick up sound for some reason. Any way I will have two of these for sale later this week http://www.jegs.com/i/Gibson/462/BM0107/10002/-1 used fro about 50 miles or so. Would like about $75.00 for the two - they were $200.00 when I bought them. Outlets are untouched, inlets were welded in place, I will cut close to original opening as possible - will be plenty left to reweld in new application. Will leave the mounting brackets on muffler for mounting to stock hanger.

    Replaced a few things

    I was getting an error of right, front, middle PDC. Pulled bumper only to find the connector had come lose. This after a buying a couple used ones on ebay. No problem. Reconnected it, checked again to make sure all worked, then buttoned 'er back up.

    Replaced my cabin air filters. They didn't seem to be "that" bad, but what the hey. I've had this car for almost 4 years now and never replaced them. So now they're done

    next replaced rear wheel speed sensor. man that thing was rusty!
    removed:
    old wheel speed sensor 2.JPG


    a closer look:
    old wheel speed sensor.JPG

    the wheel sensor housing:
    sensor mount.JPG

    Took a while to work that thing out of there, but it eventually came out. cleaned it off some with electric parts cleaners then inserted the new one from FCPEuro a Meyle. No more Trifecta


    Next up, fix a faulty AUC sensor error, then rip out that cassette deck. lol!

    Got started on installing my air ride setup. Only was able to remove the stock rear shocks and rear upper control arms today (followed Edwin's diy). Rear air struts should go in tomorrow. Need to order some new rear upper controls arm. Broke the balljoints loose on the arms, trying to get them off, the hardest part of the whole job. I thought getting the actual shock off the rear lower mount was going to be the hardest part but they came off with one swift kick.

    Getting them off is cake compared to getting them back on again if you don't have the equipment...

    This will be awesome! I haven't seen many practical reviews about how e38's ride and handle on air.
