    ^^ so you needed the Q mounts?

    I just spent the last 7 hours at my cousin's shop, installed all my suspension goodies, car handles amazing now! That H brace was pretty neet; when we had the car up on the split arm lift, we both said there was no effing way that brace was gonna fit. Oh well, wasted $30... Then we got my car up on the "drive on" lift for the alignment, and *poof* the bracket will now line up perfectly! I couldnt believe the chassis would flex that much! Now with the X brace, strut bar, new shocks, and lowering springs the car feels 1000x better.

                I replaced my trunk seal along with the taillight gaskets. Installed a yakima roof rack with fairing which is holding a Xmas tree right now. Now I just need a car wash!

                            Hoping to find a Drivers side front heated tan sport seat for my e39... I've owned the car for damn near 5 years and the heated seat doesn't work.... I've got the cash to buy one now so I'm on the hunt... Damn leather is cold.

                            Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.

                            Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.

                              You can't just replace the heating element in the seat?

                                What's going on in that pic? Straightening the frame ghetto style??

                                    I went to the dealer for fun, part is like 200 bucks or something, and it's directly attached to the cushion. I don't know if it's broken in the back, bottom, or the extendy leg section. BMW does NOT service heated elements for seats, you have to go third party.... and it looks like a SUPER pita to do

                                        I painted my front bumper cover, repaired PO's wiring up front (I am finding crap connections all over the car and am repairing them one at a time).

                                        20140215155304zpsf6f68623.jpg

                                        I also put my new sticker on :)

                                        1229131240zpsa44a7256.jpg

                                        I have a good used fuse box to replace this

                                        This kind of scares me. I am told it is not all that bad....we shall see....

                                          Looking good=) I like having a thread like this around. Glad I dug it up from the grave.

                                          It is nice to see what things everyone is up to.
