How big's your list?!

[e34.535i.sport]

Before I start this is not a whining thread (for once )... I have a list of jobs 'to do' to get the car tip-top... Here it is (in some sort of order):

1. Valve adjustment + new Valve cover gasket (hopefully it'll improve the idle).
2. New radiator (top hose connection broke half off!).
3. Injector replacement [to 19lb ford boschIII] (noisy and possibly contibuting to rough idle).
4. New Crank Position Sensor (idle again).
5. Front shock replacement (passenger side vibrates violently over bumps!).
6. Replace power steering hoses (groaning noise)
7. Oil and filter change (normal service interval up)

This may require a small lottery win for me I think!

So come on, what's on your 'to-do' list?!

In no particular order:

1. Investigate clinking noise, right rear axle, when hitting bumps (sounds like chains). Can't hear it with windows up.
2. Micro filter replacement.
3. Spark plugs, maybe (first get torque wrench or have it done by indy).
4. Vacuum interior thoroughly, clean carpeting
5. Paint front fenders (touch up, putty)
6. Remove sunroof and paint the back (remove rust).
7. Remove carpeting, check out foam.
8. Continue removing grime from engine bay - yuck !
9. Consider what to do to engine bay & rust (small hole by right wheel).
10. Wax after paint finished.
11. Anti-rust treatment.
12. Remove Pioneer CD-changer.

Look into these guys, I'm sure they could get one of theirs to fit your car.

In no real order...

Rebuild front EDC struts, install new springs & all related hardware

Get new foglights

Fix (or preferably get a new) the front bumper

Replace trunklid tail lights

Install 3.91 LSD I've got sitting around

Replace door handle surround gaskets

Ceramic coat exhaust headers

Powder coat the valve covers

Re-finish/powder coat wheels

Replace sunroof seal & adjust sunroof

Install Shadowline trim or paint the existing chrome trim satin black

Install seat heating

Replace steering wheel with a new OEM unit

Replace shift knob with a new OEM unit

Install rear headrests

Swap out the from ceramic pads with non-ceramic pads

Install tranny software I have sitting around

Look into getting EAT engine software to replace my Dinan software

Put an ESS supercharger on it

Install new thrust arms

Get a new set of PS2's


Obviously most of that list isn't really needed. But I really do need to address the front suspension, front bumper, fogs, and door handle gaskets. Suspension needs doing first, just gotta get the $ together to send the struts to the UK for a rebuild...

I just love those tires! Great grip, work really nice in almost anything spring or summer can throw at them! Ok track tire too

Yep, want to get PS2's again, yet keep thinking that Pilot Sport A/S's should go on. Can't make up my mind...

Do what I did! Get $200 steelies w/ new winter tires (Blizzak WS-50) on them! Then you can run great tires for each season

sounds like exhaust hangers.

Why the injectors? Send your old ones out for cleaning. If they are making a nice sharp click that's good.
