mkurniawansyah, which heater valve did you go with?

I went with an off-brand $50 valve and it seems to only go full hot or full cold.

Last week ordered the E70 LCI Aero kit. Yesterday adjusted the rear center lower gate latch to get rid of a noise. It Worked =)

What was the noise you were experiencing and did you adjust the latch back to the front of the car - tightening the connection when closed?

On the lower tailgate, the latch has two bolts. I loosened them just enough to move the latch and adjusted it a bit back. Tested it, and the trunk made noise still and then the TRUNK OPEN light came on. So i adjusted it a bit forward. It took 3 times actually just adjusting it to get it right. Now no creaking noises from the rear area. There are also 2 latches on the side of the vehicle that catch the same gate. I adjusted those to sit a bit forward as well. Now the tailgates line up and no noises.

Replaced the front brake pads and rotors yesterday to try and get rid of steering wheel vibration around 80+ mph.

After the swap, I noticed the front right rotor wasn’t true and made a knocking sound when braking. They’re $50 Brembo blanks from FCP and I’m working on getting a replacement now.

Replaced the rear reflectors with the IND units. Very happy with them and their service. I bought the fronts as well but those will be installed at a later date.

Debadged the tailgate and doors, adjusted the drivers door striker plate to get the body lines back to normal and changed the oil/topped off urea (getting a funnel in the process....hooray!).

Today I swapped out the stock D1S for CBI's. What a pain to get in/out...


Also swapped out the stock reverse bulbs for these...

Downloaded xDelete on Friday and the car feels different as expected! I like it and hope to do a trans tune soon. I'm leaning towards xHp (I still need their license), but hear good things about Rod Sutphin as well. Just have to decide I guess..

I also took the E70 to have the layer of tints (previous owner tinted the already tinted factory windows) removed from the rears and tinted the two front windows to match at 35%. The pic shows a bit darker then in person, I like it.
