I'm using 3M High Strength 90. The General Adhesive 77 doesn't hold as well. AFAIK it is not available in Malaysia, my brother brought some back from Australia.

Got the bearings, bushings and rear axles fitted at my usual mechanic. Car feels brand new now, no more clunking under hard acceleration or shifting.

Also decided to change my gearbox oil to eliminate the notchy 1st to 2nd shift.

Borrowed 2 bottles of Royal Purple Synchromax from my brother. This was DIY as usual, also with help from him.

Old oil - Filthy to say the least

The shifts are much smoother now, helps complete the new-car feel

Very nice. How I wish to have my own work area at home as well. Now have to do things at parking lot only.

Also how do u manage the lube waste? I'm afraid to diy that part because I dont know how to get rid the waste once it's out from thr car.

Thanks mate!

I have put the old lube back in the bottles for now. Looking for someone who can recycle it, bad for the environment to just throw it as regular waste.

A gift from my better half!

Intravee II + Alpine KCA-420i for the M3.
Have connected it to test and it works!
Now need to find the time to run the cables to my glovebox in front for easier access.
Have received beta version 6.02 from Intravention to enable the extras such as PDC display on the Nav unit as well as other options such as auto-locking and a very cool 'Journal' feature. Now need to buy a PCMCIA Serial adapter so I can update the firmware.
