four.8, good stuff man. Might want to pass on the anti-seize if intended to use with those NGK's.

Fuel pump was easy one like I said. Glad it worked out. I did mine at 110 just as PM.

Love the 8000NEX, sounds great, much better than the APPRADIO3 it replaced.

It can attach via HDMI through a lightining adapter or Bluetooth. HDMI allows screen sharing but right now via Pioneer's program it stinks. There is a jail break app that does it perfectly but does not work with ios 7. Right now I have it attached by BT waiting for Carplay.

The pump almost installed it's self.

Thanks man!
It's a copper based anti seize and I only used a very small amount on the last 2-3 threads that's it..reason being the fact that the old ones were really stuck in there ..I was also very careful when tightening ..thx for the link man!

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
I put a tiny dab on mine when installing last year too, no issues, but if globbed on I could understand it being an issue.

four.8, lookin fresh man! Awesome how the new center caps and valve stems make a difference right? Now you've reminded me I need new center caps on my 168's as well. Glad to see you went with the new BMW mats as well to really spruce it up inside!

Looks great, 4.8. The blue ones certainly do look nice. I'll follow your anti-seize tip when I do the plugs this Fall/Winter o/a 100k miles.

Thx RB the new center caps and stem caps do make a big difference..; the mats really refreshed the interior...small stuff like this makes the car more enjoyable; now I'm contemplating what to do next...
