Lightly Modifying My F56
#251
Had to change my user name... a glitch!!!
I continue enjoying this "useless" car... with the only purpose of putting a smile on my old composure...
I was thinking about the taillight overlays, only wish they were in the other direction. I guess just personal taste.
What are "side markers"?
I did go ahead and installed [too easy!] the AWE air intake. In conjunction with the Pro Exhaust do I feel a difference? Maybe!!! More air in... more air out?
How is the BBQ coming?
Stay well...
PS: my new Buddy "Ziggy"

The side markers I'm talking about are the JCW Scuttle Lights on the front fender.

I ran the AWE intake when they first came out. I was one of the first. The early ones had a glitch that they corrected, but by that time I had moved on to my present intake system. The folks at AWE make some quality parts for our cars and I wouldn't hesitate to use them agin in the future.
I like your new traveling buddy. (His Dad's not named Bob is he?) Reminds me of an Australian Shepard I used to have. She had blue eyes and had to retire to a friends family farm in Redding, CA when I moved to Panama.
Outdoor cooking has been severely curtailed because of the hot weather. Hope to get back to it soon.
Hope all is well with you my friend.

I think I know what the glitch was as I saw it in older photos. There was a cover for the air filter missing! Didn't make any sense...
Ah! More gadgets... My wallet does not thank you..
😢
No Bob. Ziggy is great with the only problem being more intelligent than me... Hard to stay ahead of him. So loving... My shadow 24/7.
Yes, hot and hotter! Lucky it is a dry heat and can be up 9400' in 20 minutes. Yet, have not cooked indoor for over a year since I bought my Traeger pellet grill! My new addiction? Baby Back ribs...
Stay well...
I can't figure out why some is always missing by the time it makes it inside the house!

Upgraded from 22mm NM rear sway bar to 25mm NM GT bar and new end links. Also replaced the CravenSpeed plastic Pro-Clip with their upgraded metal part. Made a world of difference tightening up my CS adjustable short shifter. Didn’t realize how sloppy the original had gotten until I swapped it out.
Last weekend I replaced the wheel lug bolts with studs and lug nuts.
