Another 5,000-mile oil change done. Just passed 95,000 miles...may do trans & diff fluid again soon at 100k, plus spark plugs.
On a side note, for those who use MHD. There's a dropdown in the tunes for whichever HPFP you have. Stock and TU HPFP are in the same option, then it's DS1, then DS2. All else equal, does changing from the stock/TU HPFP to DS2 = more power? When the car was 100% stock, it backfired on the stock pump. Installing the TU HPFP fixed that. But I'm curious to see/hear if upgrading from TU to DS2 or even DS1 and selecting it in the tune will result in any difference. Been running Chevron 91 octane with 1-1.5 gal of E85 but stage 2, 91 octane map. |

Had a great cruise last Friday in the warm weather here in MN. Then something random happened. Ran over a flattened copper pipe going 35 mph. I did not see this piece but heard a clunk and felt some scraping. I'm going to have a shop take a look to see if any damage occurred aside from the gash in the underbody guard. Super annoyed this happened but it does make for a pretty sweet picture.

Ah that sucks! Hopefully it didn't pierce anything important under there. Not sure where the pic is taken from, looks to be between the lift points towards the edge of the car?
I had a run-in with a block of ice a couple months ago and it wasn't a cheap fix. |

The metal struck the bottom of the car under the drivers side floormat as far back as the car's mirror, and about 4-5 inches in from the edge of the car. I'm getting quotes right now on having a shop do an inspection, take some pics, etc of what it looks like beneath the underbody guard.

My folks at Imola are looking at the car this Friday so we will see if any additional damage occurred.

I hit the debris that took out my tire on Hwy 610. My latest incident was on Hwy 100 in SLP. I've also noted that road maintenance is on the decline so more potholes go unfilled longer. Thankfully our mild winter was less harsh on the roads this year. |

Yesteday, sparkplugs on the daughters impreza, it was no fun in summary, lol.
Today, back on the bimmer, first drained the oil catch can. Next gonna pull the TU pump off and sell it, need that last little financial bump to buy the Dorch DS25. Putting the oem hpfp back on in the meantime. I'll have the TU hpfp posted for sale later today. Got spring PM coming up, wanting to replace both the vanos solenoids on the back of the head, where's the go to for those these days?

Just reached 140,000 miles. Had to do the valve cover gasket (I replaced the valve cover just in case too). I also did the MST turbo inlet since there was work needed in that same area. I should’ve done the turbo inlet pipe a long time ago. Don’t be like me and wait so long. The throttle response is so much better now; it kinda surprised me once I drove it after the install.
