witty titled new car thread

Every steering wheel should be suede/alcantara. Such a nice feeling every time you drive the car.

did a bunch of little stuff this afternoon.

replaced a city light and front signal bulb.
tightened the connections on the back of the gauge cluster (my water temp gauge bounces when i hit a bump) so hopefully that solves that issue…

put on my new door handles.

i got sick of dealing with my cruise control cutting out and i always see this brake light warning but my brake lights work fine so…

i replaced this jerk.

and voila…

Those handles have painted letters?

nope. they are taken down to bare metal then powder coated and laser etched.

:tup:

new steering wheel & time piece

and one in the GF’s 228i

Mine gives me anxiety, my homeless person hands are always dirty AF.

I purchased back my old e36 m3, time to get her back in order. Car is looking great!

I would have been in an e36 m3 but all the examples I could find out here were clapped out

Nice wheel and watch.

:tup: like the wrist hardware as well

Interesting, always good to sort out the little things.

did a whole lot of troubleshooting the cruise control system for the past week. somehow its working again…thankfully.

but i forgot to update that i made a nice little voltmeter setup for under $2

i bought this cheapo on ebay

then i gutted a hazard switch and mounted it inside.

finished product.

so this just happened…

Doesn’t fall under glass coverage?? Haha.

i actually sourced a used set of lights in LA for $200 that im going to pick up.

the cheapest i found new was at Abrahams for $699

i figure since ive got to swap them in ill try and pull the glass off these and smoke the insides along with adding some crosshairs that newman is going to send

Where in LA? I’m in Gardena. Want me to pick them up for you? I’m going to Oceanside Saturday morning, but need to be back in Gardena by noon to return the rental truck.

sourced another pair of e-code Hella smiley’s and ended up smoking them myself.
(thanks again to @newman for the highbeam crosshairs)
also. oil change.

That oil change is going to be a siqqq mod.
