Filled her up. The new TRD rims look great but the car isn't as tail happy as it used to be.


I was planning on stopping here, but the TRD louvers have caught my eye...

There may be new louvers on the market soon at an estimated cost far below TRD. There is a thread on here somewhere for it. I suggest you check it out before committing money

Looks great? What product did you use to get it so glossy?

ACT Clutch

Throwout bearing has been getting significantly worse over these past few months that it was finally time to replace it. Might as well do the clutch in the process!



Installed the SB7-HDSS ACT Clutch Kit along with a Velox Billet Clutch Fork + Pivot. Used Red Line MT-90 to fill.

Transmission now feels better than new

ok guys, slight issue, my passenger window is a bit finicky as to when it wants to work and has left me driving home with the window down more than once this winter. Something I've noticed is that the window won't slide back up when closing the door so the door isn't properly sealed and I'm worried I'm gonna get water in my car and screw something up. The only indicator i have to a problem is that the window switch light flashes on the passenger door. I have some pics of how the window is seating and how it isn't fully closing. Do you guys know what I could be looking for, is it a relay, motor or maybe my window motor is gone?
I cant resize the pics rn so i put a link to my google photos with the pic in question https://goo.gl/photos/fR1G7cENLUsBmw4F9

Roll the window all the way down and hold in the button for a while. This "resets" the window

Replaced spark plugs. Took 2 hours on a lift w/o having to raise the engine -- what a pain to do.

Plugs still look pretty good @ 65k.

I've tried the reset trick a few times, it works for a day or so but then does the same thing again and starts acting up

Then I'm not sure. I don't know what causes it to forget that it's down
