I fixed the pesky OBC bulbs and now have a clock in the car. But more importantly I picked up the new clips for the side moldings:

So do the fogs look OK or should I change them out and if so to what?

**old skool** · 04-07-2005, 09:29 AM

Can't wait to get this installed....

**old skool** · 04-07-2005, 09:30 AM

Alarm installed and set dipswitches to most sensitive.

Went to put my shock tower caps on, but I can't find one of them....
Will these even work with camber plates anyway?

You should take a bunch of pics during the install, and then post them. That could be a great DIY thread.

**old skool** · 04-07-2005, 11:02 AM

No problem...I will do that

Old Skool - If you have no use for that one M3 strut cap, I'll buy it from you. Just give me a price and you got payment.

Just saying incase they don't fit over the camber plates. Don't throw it away!

Thanks,

**old skool** · 04-08-2005, 08:20 AM

More like fixed it to pieces.

**old skool** · 04-08-2005, 10:11 AM

Damn I can't wait to get these in the new car. But I need to get the headliner in first, then the seats.
So I am anal about the way my seats look and this looks good for a driver's seat...however I just want to know if there is a simple way to clean up very minor wear without sanding it down and re-dying it.

You don't happen to have a part number for the cap, do you? I'm trying to find a pair (or are they unobtanium?).

Thanks!

Part number: 31312227387 obviously you need two

I got the wheels on last night..finally.
I still need to clean them up a bit but I am sick of not having them on the car and I will have to take them back off soon enough anyway.

So the unnerving part however is that I went to remove the lug bolts and as it turns out two of the bolts on the passenger rear side are barely tight at all. Then on the driver's side one is not tight and one is missing! Holy crap. I have never had that happen to me in any car ever before. I don't even really know how I missed it. Luckily I had spare bolts from the other car.
The next problem is that the wheels were siezed to the hubs. I had to use a lot of penetrating liquid and careful application of a rubber mallet to the tire itself. Finally I was able to work all the wheels off. I had to clean up the hub surface, the wheel surface and put lithium grease on the lug bolts.
It was well worth it though because it makes the car look so much nicer. I am currently running 7.5 all around with 235/40/17 S03s in the back and 225/45/17 T1-S in the front.

And without further adieu here is the pic:
