      Grabbed the two month used Antigravity H6 on ebay. 30Ah and I wanted the H7 40Ah size, but the price was right so we’ll see how it works. Car is going to be like 120 pounds lighter this season between CF roof, battery, TA16 wheels, and a few suspension odds and ends. Undecided if I’m doing my nav delete this year or later since I did finally source a regular HK audio harness.

        Rob - are those Rogue articulating spring perches I see there? If so, do you have issues with the adjuster hanging down and interfering with the axle?

          Learned that my RACP has been replaced once before.

          I don’t know why the photo is upside down.

            vanos bulletproofing, tabs were not broken.

            To do: install karb cal intake with map and pcs tune, no flap, aftermarket section 3. (Thank you to a few forum members for sharing their csl intake/tuner experiences.) Dream of better weather.

              Pulled the rear end for topside reinforcement, CMP subframe bushes/Turner monoball RTABs and OEM everything else.

              Wondering if I want to remove the pinion nut on diff. or not so I can replace that seal as well. I don't want to mess it up..

                It’s easy enough to get the pinion nut off and back on again with an impact driver or wrench. Just paint mark it before removing so you can get it back to the right spot. This may not be the most orthodox method…

                Seal installation was fairly easy.

                    Which OE wheel did you end up going with?

                      The one it came with from the factory - 32342282222

                      It’s the non-alcantara one, and SMG in my case.

                        Put the stock front corners back in. Previous owner went led, not a fan. Pics of before and after.

                          Now just remove the angel eyes and it'd be perfect.

                            Buddy of mine with a lift let me use it and I took full advantage!

                            Lots of maintenance done but glad to have fixed those nasty leaking headers. Feels like a brand new car again.

                              Very nice - I'd love to have a lift!!!

                                Made a few more rough cuts for the Vincebar, boy taking an angle grinder to the trunk isn't for the faint of heart!

                                If anyone has any shots of their install, particularly photos the final cutout to allow fitment of the bar I would appreciate it.
                                I understand no one does it exactly the same but neither of the two DIY's I am referencing are on an E46 M3 and there are a bunch of reference points that may help me out.
