Hey Everyone! I have some significant updates to share on forward progress with the car:
More to come soon!
- Purchased a complete 5 speed manual transmission swap from SpiDmang here locally in Seattle! This will go in next month in January
- I've been having some intermittent issues recently at WOT with the car. I've had S3 Designs here in Seattle help me out in diagnosing and replacing items. They think they've finally tracked it down to a bad connection point on the wiring harness at the TPS. I also replaced the Crank Position Sensor which was out of spec, and threw in my spare Bosch 173 DME. The car was already running a 173 prior. They also installed a known good AFM. If anything, the car feels a lot more sprightly all over the rev range. All the work certainly helped and it only chokes on itself every once in a while now. I have a thread going here if you have any insight: https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=418153
- Purchased Bosch Euro Smilies from the Netherlands. I believe they will arrive next week. They cleared customs yesterday!
- Purchased matching lachs silver side mirrors. I'd love to shadowline my trim too.
- Joined BMW CCA - Got the obligatory grill badge. I'll stick it on after I get to spraying my euro grills with SEM trim paint.
- Purchased some misc. swap parts for the transmission swap. This shift boot was custom done for me by Stitchedwheels.com. I also got a ZHP knob, leather e-brake handle and leather boot.
More to come soon!
