I drove it to work. Nothing too special.

You would need to know the measurements of the knurl they use on the studs that go into the spacer and finding a matching ARP stud.

Or knock out all the existing studs, install ARP studs on your car and use the v2 like a v1 spacer.

finished gutting the rest of the insulation, removed the wiper stalk, painted the floor with rust preventative, cleaned the back "seat" and peeled off the tints leaving a bunch of glue on the windows, YAY!

yea it took a while, that interior was trash, so much better all cleaned out now. need to make some false floors for it, the floor is very uneven and wonky, feel like i'll sprain my ankle getting in and out of the car lol.

I picked up my SC from my stepdad’s house today. I’ve been driving my E92 328i all week and it feels good to drive a car that doesn’t burn oil all the time. I really need to sell that that piece of junk so I can fix up my SC and get a Supra.

Hey oldManTan,

That glue will come off quick and easy with a razor blade and soap/water. Blades don't scratch glass unless you are intentionally trying to do it.

Are you planning on redyeing/coloring the interior?

Back then, we used to use concentrated Windex to take the tint glue off. It should just rub off with it. This avoids the possibility of scratching the defroster wires.

I don't care about the defroster wires at all, it's a drift car lol

the entire interior has been in a dump for at least 4 months lol. Only thing left is the dash as you see in the picture which we flocked. i'm gonna try soaking the glue in soapy water with newspaper stuck to it, that worked wondefully for me on my last car, glue just peeled off by hand after an hour soak in the sun.

Good work! Clean AT fluid is always worth the work on these cars.

One of the only issues with my car is a rough engagement into drive. Hoping this will help with that when i get around to doing it.
