Thanks guys, I have yet to really do anything in the garage at all, but hopefully can get everything else moved this weekend and then start doing something to the car. I did order some hardmotorsport pedals however to add some better footing for the next race. I will get some pics of anything I do this weekend to keep this more interesting for some updates next week.My super boring build http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/sh...other-M3-buildInsta Mintyhinrichs

Got the rear diff and trans fluid drained. Trans didnt really need to be changed, but it was leaking and I figured why not just do it while I can. Its been slightly leaking from the drain plug so it may have been a little low anyway. I plan to do a clutch over winter once the car can sit again.

Also finally drained the rear diff. I have wanted to do this since I bought the car and never had the time to get it done. No signs of anything weird in the fluid which is good. I do have a weird vibration somewhere in the driveline...which I think its a little play in the driveshaft itself. Might find a local shop to rebuild the u-joints if I cant replace it myself. I would love a one piece shaft but they are $$$ for these cars.

Do you have knowledge about single piece driveshafts? After my little issue with the oem shaft and solid guibo I was almost ready to splurge on one but people told me it's a bad idea since having no guibo it is "too hard" on other parts?

Did a thing over the weekend.....sandbar....it was a fun time

Got home, needed to finish up my pedal install since I am in crunch mode for this weekends race. Ignore the dead pedal being on an angle. I bent the floor pan a little so it sits kinda funny right now. Its fine tho for foot position. Maybe over winter ill figure out how to get my clutch pedal lined up better. I replaced the pedal and also the bushings so its neither of those. Must be the cast pin itself is bent but that doesnt make any sense to me. Added some grip tape which made them much better.
