        E32? I love dem nipples. Good choice btw. I run an iX in mine and wanted it to feel OEM and it does. No funny business using other marque boosters and modifying stuff

          yep, exactly. I wanted a no fuss, OEM feel. I heard the e21 booster is too weak.


          Got my mtech II spoiler mounted up. Man drilling holes in the trunk is stressful. It's not seated in all the way in the photos.

            Yeh, I get to drill some holes for the m-tech rear spoiler. Should be fun:)

              Got myself a 24v skid plate, and a s52 'LUK' clutch from Rockauto. Turned out it was a SACHS. It was $50 cheaper than the SACHS clutch. Note, Rockauto also had Luk Flywheels for only $390 much cheaper than the $520 price I found anywhere else.

              There should be major movement on the project in the next few weeks.

                  It's not painted yet. It's still in stripping process. I didn't realize how tricky that rubberized stuff is to removed prior to starting. Should have known. It's slowly coming along.

                        what's your process? I'm going to be doing the same with mine in the next weeks. I was thinking an angle grinder with one of those aggressive knotted wire wheels?

                          I have been using one of those, the problem is getting into the spots where I can't get the grinder, like between the strut tower and fender. Most other spots I got pretty quickly; no problem.
