          Small update

          Old shift linkage is out, new dssr and RTD shifter are in! This shifter is absolutely worth the money and it feels great 

          75DBC18F-5099-422F-B084-5E9C3DEB1EC6.jpeg

          I also wanted to make sure everything lined up good so I put in the poly trans mounts first. Really pleased that they only took about 5 minutes to put in

          Crawling around under a car really takes a lot of energy 🥵

           last weekend I picked up the Max Velocity Evo front lip and will be messing around with that tomorrow

            The weather has been great the last few days, not ready to hit the roads but I was able to pull the car out and give it a wash

            Super happy with how the car looks

              Looks great. Did you use the boot trick when installing the RTD? People take the stock rubber boot that seals off the trans tunnel and they turn it upside down and install it with the RTD

                I think RTD is the same one that @suspenceful has? Maybe a different model, but the feel of his is like a bolt action shifter, feel was awesome.

                  Yup, I have an RTD in the 135i and his looks almost identical. Great shifters, can't mistake which gear you're putting it, that's for sure!

                    Graduated college and moved back to Green Bay for a month, then Ill be moving down to the Madison area!

                    Went to the local pick and pull today to get some parts for my Passat, and found a 99 vert out in the yard. It was 100% rust free and I managed to snag the x-brace, the guy behind the counter let me have it for free

                    It had a bit of surface rust so I cleaned it up with the wire wheel and sanded it down for paint

                    IMG9105.JPG

                    Painted it with some high temp caliper paint

                    IMG9106.JPG

                    Nice that the M3's have the mounting threads in the subframe already, and thankfully all the holes lined up perfect. Took maybe 15 minutes to put it in, start to finish

                    IMG9107.JPG

                    Pretty happy that I now have an x-brace and it cost me nothing and took little effort to put in!! I was also looking to get a x brace soon because when I dropped my exhaust I found that the OEM cross bar had taken a nasty hit at some point and wasn't even close to straight anymore

                        Do you just screw those pedal covers into the existing pedals?

                          Drilled and bolted in with lock nuts, the brake pedal is steel so it’s extremely solid. The gas pedal cover is just screwed in

                            @pynacl and I did a photoshoot before @ChrisO left town 😦 

                            And by @pynacl and I, I mean just @pynacl because my dumb ass forgot my SD card at home.

                            Peep them here. A nice little addition to the thread.
