    I can take pics of all the body if you want. It's really clean and well kept. Then you can mull it over for a couple months as I take everything off. 😁

    Yup. I can give you the whole shell once it's stripped if you want.

    Can I cut the trunk floor out of that thing some time when you’re done with it?

    I did that a few months ago, glad I bought mine 2 years ago, they are MUCH more expensive now.

    Its interesting to me that my original coupler was very loose, and yet I didn't really experience some night and day difference in feedback.
    I also replaced mine about 2 years ago, i did notice a night and day difference. I had lot of on center slop and was able to compare it to my non-m coupe so it was quite noticable.

I started on the vanos and cooling system in 2014, which took me almost 2 years to complete (second kid, house addition). A couple years later I got the RB done. Then this spring I finally bit the bullet and took care of the remaining big issues. I still drove it on occasion, but it was always hesitantly because of the risk the vanos tabs would break, or I'd spin a bearing, or every hard shift would tear the RACP a little bit more. The handling was also sketchy AF. In the middle of all that I also added an evolve CF airbox running on MAP, and a supersprint exhaust (I'm a sucker for good BF deals). The car isn't "done" by any means, but it's getting closer to what I envisioned over a decade ago.

    It's been a long time coming, so yeah, it's nice to have it back.
    I hear you man, bought mine in 2012, got married, then built a house, first kid second kid, it all takes time

    Ordered a new motion sensor bracket to replace the original which had worn out causing the unit to come loose; hoping I can just replace the bottom without needing to open up the headliner and switch out the top.

    Holy moly, I took mine to the liquor store and was pumped. Man you’re dialed in.
