SS Clutch line anyone?

Now, all I need to do is learn how to drive it. :help I left the 3.91 open in the rear, and lets just say it pulls like crazy in 1st and 2nd. T'was a fun project, now for some sleep.
Now for some exhaust hangers? :ponder
BTW, what shift lever did you use? I hope you put in a short shift lever and new bushings and everything. I would almost rather have an auto than a typical 100k mile worn out BMW shifter. :shifty

Actually, the whole setup has about 60k on it. The bushings looked to be in really good shape, so I reused them. I greased the mofo up though. I decided to stay with the stock M3 shifter until I am fully comfortable with driving stick. It shifts fine.
Cool. :cool
The M3 shifter is pretty good. The regular e36 shifter is a little long for my taste.

BCM M3 03-07-2006, 12:05 AM Woohoo! Congrats man. I've always loved the look of your car, and now it has the proper transmission to back those good looks up!

I want to know Robstah, pleaaaaase.
Robstah 03-09-2006, 10:34 AM I bought a swap kit here off of bimmerforums. I did all the work at school, so labor was nothing. It took a good 12 hours (3 classes) to do it all.
