If I gave you $100 USD to buy anything for your car on the interwebz, what would you get? Could be an upgrade or a replacement part you need.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/00-01-02-M…

I'd get these sweet yellow fog light assemblies. Mine are cracked and might as well upgrade since replacement ones are around that price.

Also, these black center caps

Yeah, after a few hard stops the FRS has a lot of flex in the master cylinder. So you get this weird feeling in the brakes, like the rotors are warped or something, when they aren't.

wow, did not know that

I never did get the pic :(

But no, they only go on that car. It might've fit, but it likely wouldn't match, as this was a flat, mirrored cap.

Thanks, I do appreciate the offer though!

Great question. We all get caught up dreaming about those $3k wheels and $2k exhaust we keep forgetting we can mod our cars and still have money in our wallets.

This is tough, I think I would drop the $100 on leather cleaner so I could really clean the seats front and rear. The HEMI Wagon actually doesnt really need much, but most of what I really want at this point is far beyond $100.

If nothing else, Id pick up an infrared thermometer and maybe a few other tools, wrenches, sockets, or even a trans dip stick to do it right.

The SL would get a thermostat. Needs it bad. Next would be new throttle body tubes, finally the parking brake release needs to be replaced.

eeeexactly sir. Just what I was thinking :]

tools is a good choice. Those little issues on an SL are pricier than normal

Driver's side headlight door.

Oil and a filter.

As long as it goes to a worthy cause haha.

I'll probably end up plasti-dipping and using a glossifier on the kidneys. Much cheaper for a similar result.

 V8 Rustler > EL_ULY 08/03/2014 at 01:43

Yes, L & R for engine and one for the trans. Do you happen to have any experience with motor mounts? Ford has discontinued them, and these are the only one's available:

The anchor one's are the same AZone sells. Maybe those are good enough? Any info/help would be appreciated.

that's the spirit. i like how you think.

I've done literally thousands of motor mounts but never on a SN95. Do those have a warranty? If so, get em!

The money I save doing that can be spent buying that rep spoiler painted off eBay.

I had a e46 stile one on my e34. It made the rear section of my car extra dirty after. Picked up road grim and slapped it on the back. After one road trip, you couldn't see my license plate anymore. Took it off afterwards

soo true, but worth it

Yup even on pelican or bavauto. I usually use amazon, rock auto, or fcp. But they keep selling me the kit for the 5hp24 even though I need the 5hp30 filter.

Yikes. I haven't read anything similar to that on e90post so hopefully that won't happen to me.

I'm washing/claying my car soon. I'm excited but the weather is making me wait until Monday.

hopefully it wont happen. That little 1 inch lip did some crazy unwanted aero. I need to check the forcast, I need to clay and wax my jalopies as well. Never done it on them lol. Hopefully it wont just make the defects more obvious lol.

small design differences on the filters and the transmissions as well

I need a new one of these, the plastic plug blew out of my BOV and now it vents to atmosphere ALL. THE. TIME.

upshift at 2500rpm with next to no throttle? PISHHHHHHH

I'd change the oil in the 8 and buy a new AC fan control knob.

roflcopter > roflcopter 08/03/2014 at 08:22

Or maybe a new drivers side hood hinge and battery for the Volvo.

Not a truck. Though it sounds like one.

yep, kind of ridiculous. But I love it too much to let it go to the wrong hands.

beardsbynelly - Rikerbeard > EL_ULY 08/03/2014 at 19:06

I could, but it's fairly high pressure and I don't want to damage the thread. New plug is $40

o ok, not too bad Yeah don't risk it

My other plan is to find a new flange for the other BOV I have that is a larger diameter.. but that's a discontinued part for my car so I haven't had any lucky yet. Might sell both BOV's and use the money to buy a new one that fits and doesn't blow plugs out when I'm trying to overtake a WRX

what does a good one for your car go for?

beardsbynelly - Rikerbeard > EL_ULY 08/03/2014 at 20:01

The one I'd get is about $350AUD, the GFB that's in the car I could sell for at least $50 and the other Turbosmart one I have maybe $100. I've got a few boost controllers laying around I could sell to make the difference up too.

I'll get another GFB so I can use the flange adapter that's on the car already. With that I can set it to 100% plumb-back and then plug up the atmo vent so it's street legal here.
