    Short shifter installed.

    Honestly don't notice that much of a difference compared to other short shifters I've done in the past on other cars.

    I said good goodbye to my R53 today. I will truly miss that car. The good news is it is going to a very good home. It followed @Skidmarks home.

    Didn’t get the driveway rearranged and the ‘new’ mini in the garage before this shit started. It might wash the half million dead bugs off.

    Glade you guys made it home. If it doesn’t wash the bugs off it will at least soften them up.

    Changed the oil at home yesterday. I definitely need to upgrade my oil extractor thingy. At the stealership today to have my coolant and brake fluid flushed. Got them down to about $100 for each service, so that's a slight win for the day :)

    Got the part - disappointing and will
    go back. Mounts to the front half of
    the subframe where it will do very little
    good, and the hardware for the back two
    holes don’t fit into the subframe without
    some drilling and probably some welding.

    Got home yesterday day. The Helmet is filthy! I guess I am going to see how the coating will hold up after a week in the hot Memphis sun and airport grime.
    I hope to get to wash it today.

    Gassed up my S today with Shell Premium for $3.149/gallon before the prices are said to soar due to the storms down South.

    I put those on my R53. They gave me a nice placebo effect. Cheap & easy so why not. :Thumbsup:

    Thanks to my own photo I realized I forgot to pop the driver side fender liner back out.

    FYI if you push it down like I did it gives you enough clearance to tighten the bottom bolt using an extension.

    When I got home from work yesterday, I gave my car a quickie wash to get the dirt off, particularly the rear end, of my car.
    This morning, it is windy and thunderstorm raining in the Vancouver BC area. Good thing it wasn't a thorough wash.
