So I pulled my Bosch Euro headlights out, removed the angel eyes, removed the HID's, cleaned both sets of lenses and put them back together with new halogen bulbs. Silverstar Ultra in the high beam and Osram Nightbreakers in the low beams. Love the new look; much more sophisticated. Too many other cars with angel eyes; too many kids ruining them.
I took the car over to a friends house to use his lift and changed my tranny fluid and diff fluid. RedLine D4 ATF and 75w140 respectively.
I picked up an odyssey pc680, russ-wiles box and battery tender to finally remove the huge battery that currently resides in the trunk. 60lbs ish
Couple of pics:
Got some old slicks mounted up on my ARC8's to burn them off at Roebling Rd next month before putting some new rubber on
The 'kooks are not the optimal size but I had them laying around from my civic.
pic in previous post too

I just beat Mr with a corn cob after reading that he removed the halos. No joke...

I was eating corn on the cob. Found this thread and saw he'd removed the halos (angel eyes) after I told him I didn't like the idea of him removing them..So I threw the wet and empty corn cob at him. Then kept trying to smudge it on his face

Play nice you two! lol
Now you need some "smoked" out turn signals.
Is the lift bolted down? or am I just not seeing the bolts on the plates? I'm guessing 10ft ceiling in the garage?

Rode my bike down to the fabricator to pick it up ( not far away, only ~10 miles)
Thankfully the bike still fit in the back
gotta clean it up and then prep/paint it but hopefully this will make the rear shock towers almost bullet proof.
Time to up the spring rate

Ultimate goal of improved corner speeds?

ultimate goal of not having paper thin shock towers punch through
http://users.imagine.ie/garrykeogh/Tower_Removed.jpg - this is damper only in that location. I run a coilover instead of a bucket spring setup... preventative, really.

so the rear shock tower doesnt support all of the vehicle's weight in a stock setup, now you had all the weight of the rearend on fragile towers? I might be looking for a e36 m3 in the future if I dont get an s2k
