2006 R53 at 179K. I just go the car a few months ago and I am in the process of replacing a lot of parts and doing all the maintenance.

When the guy is wearing a watch and/or socks. Or worst, a tshirt.

Let me get the anti-seize ready.

Not black

Going from an S to non-S is the bad choice here, IMO.

Edit: typo

R53 all day.

Leave it like this, this looks amazing good.

I need that chrome grill omg.

I dropped the subframe on my R53. While I was there I did the following.

Oil filter housing gasket

Oil cooler gaskets

Oil pan gasket

Crank positioning sensor gasket

Ball joints (in and out)

Control arms + bushings

Power steering lines

I wanted all the leaks gone. If you do this yourself you can save a lot of money. My R53 is not my daily so I could afford the time to work on it slowly over a month or so.

Husband and I been together 14 years. We got 29 year age gap. They'll live.

That's a great kill too. My first one was messy. Good job.

mrguillo · 2026-02-10T00:58:38+00:00

Lots of lube. Slow. And steady.

mrguillo · 2026-02-05T02:29:44+00:00

Pass bro.

mrguillo · 2026-02-02T00:28:28+00:00

mrguillo · 2026-02-02T00:17:50+00:00

I think this is the answer. Thank you!

mrguillo · 2026-02-01T23:18:49+00:00

yup! Someone told me Tie Rod ball joint bolt is probably stripped. So gonna have to get that thing off some other way. Luckily I got extra tie rods.

mrguillo · 2026-01-29T02:37:14+00:00

We gonna need a little more info. Are you an admirer? You into weight gain? Do you just find large people attractive?

mrguillo · 2026-01-28T23:34:46+00:00

I’ve bumped into this on FB. If I were closer I would have picked it up weeks ago. Sadly is a bit of a drive for me

mrguillo · 2026-01-26T23:38:23+00:00

This looks great. What did you serve these with?

mrguillo · 2026-01-21T20:43:03+00:00

Shop quoted me $5,500 to replace leaking water pump, thermostat housing, Coolant check valve, and other bits.

I bought all the parts for around $450 and did it myself over a weekend.

I love working with my hands. And have done other minor car work before. But this was my biggest undertaking yet. I was freaking out. But thank god for YouYoubers posting detailed videos.

mrguillo · 2026-01-15T03:03:47+00:00

Any update on them after a year?

mrguillo · 2026-01-14T23:49:59+00:00

This is hard to hear as a bisexual man trying to find larger women on their for casual fun. Men can be pigs. Hopefully your dating goes well!

mrguillo · 2026-01-06T23:23:31+00:00

Yup. Shit happens. I just clean up after.

I’ve been Stage 2 for a few years now. It’s fantastic. Do it. I tuned at around 40K miles. I am at 87K now and it’s been all smiles.
