Default Update on the Roach

...New motor mounts...Just going with OEM
New control arm bushings up front
Driveshaft coupler...mine was getting pretty torn up from all abuse from teh ex
O2 sensor
Get an alignment
Wastegate actuator...mine is torn @ the diaphragm...therefore vac leak...and erratic boost/inability to consistently hold boost, New one coming from APR along with my resprung R1 DV.

Then reflash my ECU with the latest Stage 3 software...see if theres any gains to be had since the kit was installed way back when

New tires...cheapies actually, nexus 235 and 265's $420 odd shipped....several of my friend have em on the bimmers and rate them real high....especially considerring the price.

Thats enough damage to my wallet this week...It all goes in on monday
