    My SMG needs a pump motor and/or accumulator too as the pressure holding is just out of spec.
    I love my SMG. It's a shame you're all converting to switches. The technology is simply brilliant and works great...

        Is that the Dboi88 or however it's spelt? How does it perform

          Installed it, and then drove it a couple miles down the road to my storage spot. Can't wait to actually enjoy it next year. Thanks again, OldRanger!

            Yeah, thats the DO88.

            I cannot say how it performes myself, as I just got it.

            A couple of people Here are running it and they have lower oil temps on the track than with stock. They are still farely new, so no long term feedback yet. Built quality is good.

              SMG is going on a shelf in case I want it again. It works well in spirited driving, but the other 90% around town is like me when I was learning to drive a manual in high school.

              Manual conversion is cheaper than an SMG refurb and I miss having a manual in my garage.

                    Man I really miss my CH's, sadly they were the original cast version and got eaten alive by LA potholes. Gone but not forgotten.

                      Swapped out my Touring trim for new OEM wheel trim and wrapped the other pieces to match. Had to wrap because shadowline is not available for 4 doors from as far as I know.

                        My driver side mirror had "the wobble", so I knocked that out today (special thanks to ShopLifeTV video). A few quick pointers:

                        1) You absolutely have to pull the door panel, no way around it easily (if at all)
                        2) When pulling off the interior triangle garnish, pull inward at the top of the part to release the top tab (#1 of 2), then slide the part up so the lower keyed tab (#2 of 2) can be released by again pulling toward you
                        3) I replaced the foam piece on the interior triangle garnish ($.80)
                        4) Remove the mirror control ECU and then disconnect the two harnesses plugs (push down on the connector then slide the locking tab all the way down until it clicks; then pull the plugs)
                        5) PUT A RAG OR SOMETHING BETWEEN THE MIRROR AND DOOR PANEL
                        6) Remove both mirror bolts while holding mirror; note that the wire harness grommet will prevent the mirror from totally falling out. Then you can push the grommet outward and feed the wire out of the panel hole.
                        7) Pull the foam insert out of the mirror, remove the two T20 screws holding the outer mirror on, apply blue loctite and reinsert hand tight.

                        Put it all back together.

                        I chose to put a small dab of blue LT on the two 10mm bolts holding the mirror to the door as well, just because. I hate pulling the door panel, and don't want to get back in there if necessary.

                          I have euro spec electric fold up mirrors and doing this did not fix the wobble. I'll have to take it apart and check further.

                            I had to tighten the two Torx screws under the mirror insulator to fix the wobble...hence the complete removal of the mirror.

                              Yes I did that. Still the same. I'll have to dig deeper.

                                Purchased an Eisenmann Race Exhaust for $660!

                                Schrick cams and more.
