4 new Koni Sports now sitting in my front Foyer. Took my final exam last night, now it's time to start back on the car. Once that's done, I may have to start on an ARK, if it doesn't stop raining here in Ohio.

Your ZHP could become your ark...

Good luck on the project. I did shocks a struts on my E36 and it went very easily. Enjoy the wrench time.

Rears are in tomorrow the fronts. No pictures, removing tires and the trim panels from the trunk is more difficult then changing the shocks.

I had my Son over to help and bring his spring compressors. He’s 25 and was heavy into AutoCross a few years ago with his 91, 318iS track rat. When we finished at 11 Friday night, he suggested a test ride. I headed down the road a few miles and made a right heading towards the Community College I go to. I made a right into the back road and pushed it slightly. He nodded with satisfaction after the slight bent to the left before the stop sign. I then made a right and hit it hard through the slalom using both lanes. Then something happened that I’ve never seen before. My Son was hanging on Tight and looking a little uncomfortable with Daddy driving. Amazing what driving School has done for me.

I am very impressed and can’t wait to get it on Mid Ohio in a few weeks.

Pitcher below was taken on the test drive road,

Finished her up tonight with a new sway bar end link, may swop out more aggressive track pads for Mid Ohio, not sure yet.

Ah, that awesome journey down the slippery slope of upgrades, tweaking and general pursuit of hauling a, er, butt.
