First step: Replace radiator which blew immediately after buying it and driving it away.

Pretty sure that car has Oreilly's shocks in front but I could be wrong.

It makes me force it into gear for third and fourth sometimes when cold and what not. Looks like a replacement is in order including my chromoly flywheel and M5 clutch!

Josiah: I threw that fucking head unit out the window on 51! I think your Killswitch Engage CD was still in there. I am sorry. I will have to check.

As for the head unit, I knew it sucked... you have to finesse the volume knob with a gentle touch, otherwise you're changing the equalization settings. yeah, retarded.

And what Killswitch Engage?!? I hope you don't mean Devin Townsend! He's the greatest artist of our time!

I basically drove it (hard) to my buddy's house in Wausau and I saw the steam. I had the radiator out in ten minutes and the new one in in 15 minutes! The transmission is a little fucky. There is a whine when downshifting in 3rd and 4th. I may have to put all of my M318 project stuff into it... LTW flywheel and M5 clutch ext. I will just have to order a new one for my baby in the spring or over the winter. Oh well.

Other than the fucky transmission (which still shifts acceptable when warm) There's the sunroof issue which I didn't even look at yet because I was too busy RAGE DRIFTING in the rain last night! OMG fun. If you don't have an M3, throw it away, Its a piece of shit! J/K. Also just some minor trim piece issues. Not to mention the rear end which I "put back together" haha! Wait till you see the pics tonight.
