Blkexcoupe, thanks - Have been in your build thread a few times and can definitely say the same of your car! I sent you a PM on where I found the tail lamps.

That bottom engine cover looks great!
It reminds me how clean the bottomof my engine was on my e90 when all the plastics were intact. It'll keep yours clean too!

Thanks, It's a really nice piece and is relatively inexpensive compared to how much everything else cost on our cars.

The underside of my car is a mess. I've had every leak imaginable (rear main, valve cover, front main, vvt-i, and PS). I wish I had access to an outdoor lift, so I could go under the car and pressure wash it.

Tonight was install night, no more yellow faded reverse lenses! Also gave the car a full cut and polish recently.

Thanks Sunny - I'm in Ajax but still come to some of the Toronto meets, just not as many as I used to.

Pretty sure I met you at the Krispy Kreme Heartland Toyota/Lexus meet. Would like to see your BN aero and custom lamps sometime - also still have a spare 97+ grille if you need.

Finally getting around to sanding the layers of paint on my bumper since the wipeout almost 2 years ago.
Been slowly chipping away the flakey bits over the years, finally got the courage to put a sander to the surface and properly grind away the layers. And there were a few layers... Maybe 2-3 tri-coat paints.

Felt kinda relaxing sanding them away

Swapped the diff on my sc400 for a 4.27 diff from an sc300. Definitely a noticeable difference and well worth the 150 dollars spent. Felt a nice little boost from the bfi setup and anti squat wire but this was much more noticable. Was under the impression it was a direct swap but I ended up having to swap the axle stubs from my sc400 diff to the sc300 diff. The new diff stubs diameter was a few mm too small so the bolt holes didn't line up. Waiting on some new coils coming Friday as my next thing on the to do list!

Took the white one to work today, left the black one in the garage for the last 3 months waiting for the w58 to go up.
