    Woot, got my car back!

    I'm soo happy i just got my car back after 4 weeks.....

    New things done:
    - 12.5 ltw flywheel from IE
    - New Clutch, and all new bushings
    - z3 1.9 shift lever
    - all new shifter linkage
    - new tranny mounts

    Car shifts like a DREAM! So smooth and tight, just the way i wanted it. I can deffinatly feel the difference with the new flywheel while holding it up in high RPM's and accelerating through turns. I had a kinda bad experience with IE, as it took them almost 2 weeks to get my flywheel when they said it would be 4 days. They also forgot to ship some of my parts so i had to wait and extra day for those parts but oh well. I'm glad I have it back! Now for paint 8)

      Congrats! Nothing like a brand new shifter :D

      IE's shipping department leaves something to be desired, but their products I have found are excellent.

          blah, almost all of my m tech 1 money went towards all my new parts... And now i really have to get a paint job, as all of my clearcoat on my hood has come off and the paint is starting to look really really shitty. So i'm just gonna go get my paint job, then save up for the kit and put it on.

          Ryan, I should be here that weekend, Miller got his car back a few weeks ago, and my friend just got a 95 M3, and maybe before you ditch your car we can have a better photo shoot....

          EDIT: Ryan, there is an AutoX on the 25, if your interested, ill let you throw my whip around...

              8) That is the only thread I can LINK to.

              Hey Kyle. Did Mark let you do anything in thier bays on your car? I'm thinking about sending my car down early and then coming down for a week to work on the swap to save me some time.

                I was going to rebuild my shifter linkage while it was down there, but he said they would do it for free. I'm sure if you had some mindless easy bitch work that he or jake didn't want to do then sure, they would let you do it. But when it comes to using heavy parts or lifts i bet they would want to do it.

                If you need a place to stay for a night or two, let me know. Our house isn't for sale yet...
