After a hard rain last night, I decided to wash the car. She has been through a lot lately, like the manual transmission swap. So, here they are. After the wash, I hit the local park and grabbed some pictures before I hit the trail. Enjoy.

Bah. Sagging glovebox my booteh. I have a later model one with the built-in vents that I still need to install. I am not really busy, just lazy about it.
The suspension setup is Bilstein Sports with Eibach Sportlines. The crazy part is that the front was a good inch lower before the manual swap. That automatic weighed a ton.
The manual swap is pretty sweet, except for the 3.91 diff. Going 80 @ 4500RPM in 5th is not too fun. It's not really bad, but the added torque of the setup adds jerkiness to the shifting. I would like to say that I could probably beat a stock M3 from 1-3, but after that, game over. Let's just say it kicks and it's very possible to break the rear tires loose in 2nd. Crazy acceleration. Tis' a fun car.
