I always behave :)

I've even finished doing my nails.

My cat's annoying me for food. She keeps running in. Meowing at me, smooching then running back to her bowl. It's very cute.

Each time she does i tell her I'll feed her soon. And I'm still sitting here!!

I just got my diff repaired.

It was basically reconditioned. The bearing had ****ed itself. I got a new bearing and relapped the crown and pinion. SO yeah..

Gavin (my mechanic) couldn't find a diff anywhere.

Heaps of people were just saying "go to a wreckers and buy a skyline diff". I kept saying "It's not that simple. I dont know what electrics would stuff up if I just put a normal diff in"

Ended up costing $1097. That was my intercooler money. But I decided that safety was more important than going faster.

With your diff.. If you start hearing a clicking/tapping noise coming from the back, then that noise goes away, then it turns into a wurring noise that starts at a certain speed (mine started at 110km and got worse) .....(cat's back again)

Anyway, yeah, that's when its bad. It was starting to make the noise at around 40kmp/h when I finally took it to the mechanic. It had also blown a seal before this and was leaking.

Admitadly it does sound like road noise and I thought this was the case cause I've got 255/40/17 profile tyres (there huge!) and so did my mechanic. But yeah, it wasn't.

And no, I don't have a FMIC.. I can't afford it atm. And my insurance doesn't allow it right now :)

    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
    • Man, I miss having a phone that fits into my hand!  
    • The speed this thing starts up is making me want to replace my old one. Though my old one immediately kicks into reverse camera as soon as reverse is engaged, it's clearly not part of the android system. For everything else though, starting up, connecting to hotspot, opening maps, starting music in spotify is easily a ~2 minute affair.
    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
