that's a lot of work being done! I wish to have my manifold cleaned as well but it would be a lot of labour cost I guess.

Ya, the next mod for ET is Supercharger & ECU re-map. By then not even a E92 M3 can catch you.

Just spent an hour down at the parking lot to polish the chrome rim of the wheels. Sweating like hell but it's worth it. It looks like new again.

BTW, the GB for LCI tail-lights retrofit kit V6 is going to end tomorrow. Already have 12 ppl on the list. If you plan to do it, now is your last chance for a good deal. I am in.
