Well us northerners are starting to finally see pavement, I guess that means its almost spring?

I'm within a 100 miles of 60k miles so I've ordered some new meaty rubber for my Forgestars(unrelated to 60k mile service), one step colder plugs, S/C oil, Mobil 1 and mann filter. Also need to order a set of Airfilters(not sure what yet). Also started my detail this past weekend, will spend 1 or 2 more weekends on that and still need to pick up the PLM heat exchanger and install that.


what are everyone's plans this spring?

I'm slowly converting my '04 E55 into an '05 E55. The hardest part is the seven seat conversion. I should be done by tomorrow I hope.

19s, lower via STAR, continue with maintenance. That's about it!

I'll prolly order the Avantgard M590s in July for my Birthday I think

Planning an ECU tune from BIP and a muffler delete before summer. Maybe a new flat-bottom steering wheel as well.

Install the Kleemanns I've been sitting on for the past 6 months, split cooling, updated center console and a few maintenance items.

Already started early for spring colder plugs,77mm FSC installed and tuned by Powerhaus Performance with EC software. 19" cv3's here but getting them customed to my liking.

I'm pretty sure I've lost track of the pile of parts that I've accumulated (but never installed). There's a big pile of boxes stacked up in the corner of my garage to open and install like:

• Euro front impact strips to replace "egg yolk" turn signal strips
• EuroTek rear diffuser
• EuroTek Rear Trunk Spoiler
• K-MAC (latest design) front alignment bushing kit
• K-MAC (latest design) rear alignment bushing kit
• Lower the car to preferred ride height via ELMv2
• 4-wheel alignment with proper camber (finally!)
• Shardul Belt Wrap Pulley kit
• ASP 172mm Crank Pulley
• Kleemann Tune to replace EC Tune
• 2003 TCU - For unlimited brakestand burnouts!
• Still need to buy: PLM H/E

That should just about cover it for now. I'll need to buy ANOTHER set of rear PSS's (my 3rd set in 20,000 miles) but I'm finally getting smarter about using the prorated warranty, so they won't cost me much this time around.

Well I am working like a mad man to get mine done in the next two months lol. Working on putting these under the hood....

Making custom headers this week. Just finished moving the ABS pump to another location:-) Made a bracket for the pump.

Had to extend the harness.....



Lots more to do. But working hard to have it done for June!

holy cow man... building a new car practically... also love your parts list, ALL quality stuff, I like!

55fanatic

You are a BRAVE soul extending the harness with out labeling the wires or running different color wires

GregMB

These cars are expensive enough to build...... adding low-quality or unproven componentry just makes the whole process more costly and heartbreaking.

Pay for quality, do it once, do it right.

I tagged all wires. But I didn't feel the need to buy 31 different color wires. They are all wrapped anyway.
