I have spent the last 3 months replacing my clutch. motor and tranny mounts, and everything that is under the hood and is plastic or comes into contact with fluids.

Discovered the car had been in an accident which took out some sheet metal and muche of what was mounted in front of the engine at some point in the recent past. It also, has had the engine replaced at some point in time.

Road tested it the last 3 days and will be driving it from the Gulf Coast to lower Michigan and back next week. Should really put it to the test.

Still have a lot of work on the interior to do also the OBC, sunroof and headlights but for now everything works adequately.

Best of luck on your trip!! You have one amazing lookin 8er!!

Congrats on the new clutch. I just ordered a custom built Sachs in your same 280mm size so I'll be following your path soon. Best of luck on your run.

Spent the last 3 days getting ready for the trip seemed like nothing was going to go right. Had a noise like a stick in bike spokes and searched and searched and couldn't find it. Finally located a heat shield I haden't fastened down that was flapping in the breeze.

Brake lights quit. I had snapped the brake light switch, found a replacement. Also while working on it I apparently snapped the stem to the winshield washer,,,Ugggh hope it doesn't rain.

Been cogitating on a double Din DVD stereo combo after following some of the other projects but I really like my climate controls where they are so opted for a flip up screen. Has xm and will soon add moving map and GPS to it. For now I temporarily mounted my UMPC to the dash for this trip.

Looks real nice. I've been toying with the idea of getting a different headunit. I like the CD43 asthetic, but I really would like something more contemporary.
