      In a world of annoyingly gaudy steering wheel modifications you have done a proper steering wheel. 
      For this I thank you!
      It looks quite nice! 

      Did you have to send yours in and be without car for a month or two?

          Thanks!  Lol

          I have a couple of m-sport steering wheels so I had a back up.  With that being said, anyone looking for a wheel?  Lol. I have 3, 1 smg, 2 e39/e46 manual wheels

            The car still pulls to the right a bit.  We'll replace the calipers next and take it from there.  Really need to be able to text and drive with work and with this pull, it isn't ideal. Tires might be to blame too.

            Cooling, 3rd pedal, clutch/flywheel, 4.10 wavetrac and boost bits incoming!  Stay tuned!

                It has been awhile since I gave an update.  Lots has been happening! Popped on an Active Autowerks supercharger, 4.10 gears with a drexler LSD, CSL King Pins and new bearings, CSL steering rack and all new power steering lines and reservoir, replaced the cam bolts and did a valve adjustment (2 were out of spec), valve cover gasket, manual swap with a JB Racing lightweight flywheel and HD Sach clutch, ZHP shift knob and a short shifter, and turned 200k miles on the car (motor probably has 130k-ish on it), and some 18" Apex wheels wrapped in PS4s 245 front, 275 rears.

                  A man after my heart with those wheels!

                  I love that you still own this thing, I remember bombing around in Fon Du Lac in it when we met to transfer ownership of some parts. It's come a long way since then!

                    Hopefully this is a memory we can all share in the future.

                      I've been chasing boost issues.  Replaced the supercharger as I got a bad one.  Still low boost.  Did a Compression test and results were bad.  All cylinders floating around 100psi. Woof. Getting a built S54 from Partee Racing and will get back at it!

                      Cooling had been an issue on the freeway. Might be the AUX fan shroud in the way.
