    Ha, it sure was! And if you'd believe it - the plan was to finish the hatch, doors and trunk floor too! There was just too much finish work on the carbon parts to be able to pull it off with the available time. And we also threw in all four window regulators and vapor barriers for fun, plus a few other smaller things.
    Oh man!! yeah good call to take the time and do it right and good as well that you've proven out the approach. Amazing work as always.

      Good stuff! Amusing seeing "Heinz" sprinkled in the notes

        Looks awesome. Are you still running only the outer RTAB limiters on the RTABs? Any issues there? Im guessing not.

          I knew your car was coming to George's shop at some point, didn't realize you were also coming with it. If I had known sooner I would have gladly come out and helped.

          I have some details to finish up on the floor pan and should be ready to ship by this weekend.

            Still running them and it’s still my favorite setup!​​

            It all came together pretty fast once I found a shipping truck and coordinated coverage back home. Wish I’d had more time to pick a date way up front and then we could have done this all a little more coordinated. I’m in Austin at least a few times a year for work so there will be other chances for sure!

              I commend you for keeping it non M3 on the outside.

              I bet it's fun as hell with slightly narrower tires!

                  The sleeper is really where it’s at. And honestly after the chassis stiffening there is practically almost too much grip already! But yes the narrow tires and high offset front wheels preserve all the nice steering feedback which keeps it really nice and responsive.

                    Alright, here we go! George has given me notes (mostly on the AC - Texas and all) and managed to pack up the car with a stock muffler, section 2, pair of front doors, rear hatch and various tools and parts while still leaving the front two seats free and clear.

                    And after a nice wash it looks surprisingly good in the Texas sun/clouds

                    And last, after some fun back and forth with shippers, we got the car loaded up and it's now on its way back home. Thanks again to George, can't wait to put it through its paces once again!

                      Just missing a case of Lone Star. I would have loved those mirror bases before I wrecked my ZHP doors to mount M3 mirrors.

                        Sorry, I'll get the floor shipped out this week. Been busting my ass on a couple of things that have taken priority.

                          Hi Bry5on, apologies for posting here, but my account is too new to send private messages. I have an E30 M3 with an S54, MSS54HP, genuine CSL 32500 software, Karbonius CSL airbox and stock cams, . I’m very interested in your Mullet Tune and would love OEM-like drivability. Would it suit an E30 swap, and is there another way I could contact you while I wait for private messaging access? Thank you, Lorenzo.
