Guys,

Been out of the loop on the C32 for a few months. My car just sits there collecting dust and getting sprayed by the sprinklers everyday.

The car nees new valve cover gaskets, new plugs and probably wires. I have still not fixed my seats and my rotors look like a pizza dish. I still have a small transmission leak (probably my connector) and by paint needs a good detail due to the water spots.

So.. I'm taking on a project to bring back the car to standard.

First thing..
I need to replace my valve covers gaskets, which I already purchased.

Any ideas on the plugs? I currently have K20's I believe.. and they are about 60k. I dond't want to spend that much on the plugs.. just something to get by.

Wires: Probably going OEM. I had a night mare with my old Magnacor's.

rotors: parts.com has c32 rotors for $100 but they also have C230 rotors for $40. Anybody know if I can use the c320 rotors? I know they are thinner but would it work? After all this is my daily driver and I hardly drive it fast.

Shocks and Struts: after 100k miles.. my car feels very bumpy and not smooth. Feels like a one or two of them is leaking or just worn.

car seat modules: that can wait.

any good ideas to remove water spots from the paint? they are baked in and the water around is kinda hard.

I eventually plan to make this a week-end track car.. but for now I just want to make it run properly.

Track car ideas:
a few more engine pieces, lighter rims, better tires, bigger brakes, suspension mods and removal of weight (seats, woofers, ect)

c32 rot0rs are bigger than 230 or 320 rotors fronts are 345mm rears are 300mm
clay bar the entire car to remove hard water spots
konis for the shocks

Claybar first, if that doesn't take the water spots off use a light to medium cutting compound, polish than seal/wax.

thanks guys..

I will pick up a clay bar kit this week-end.

I'll stick with the OEM c32 rotors and not try to save a penny or two.


I'll start researching Koni shocks.
