That's just what happens when he doesn't drive down to my house anymore lol

LOL. Yup, not a lot of long drives these days. Plus, I work from home so no daily commute, and I have my Triumph TR8 going as well, so sometimes I drive that.
Completed 2nd passenger side airbag recall for the ignitor. Relatively painless. The dealer paid for an Uber home.
Rando, hows the ESS Supercharger treating you?
I love it! I need an updated custom tune as I still have the generic one, cold start is an issue (sometimes sputters) but not the end of the world (a known issue w/basic tune). It's faster, like it should be from factory, but not eye-popping blazing fast. I have a few things to do so I'll withhold final judgement on that. If you have the extra coin, it's worth it, love the sorely needed lower rpm torque increase. But technically, it's not worth it compared to the value of the car, but I don't care about that. I'm keeping my car and the enhanced daily driving is well worth it.

I haven't updated in awhile so a few updates: I wanted to add my latest suspension mods on here (that I think I did the past summer) plus a few other things: (I'll add pics later). I essentially bought Hieu's suspension from him, plus some new parts. It includes:
AST 4100 dampers
Bimmerworld front adjustable endlinks
Swift springs (8K front and 10K rear)
Vorschlag camber plates
As well, recently (June) changed out spark plugs and coil packs... runs SO MUCH better now!
I also changed out my exhaust, but going back in to make more mods so will update, but the plan is to go back to my Magnaflow exhaust and custom tips, but remove the resonators. I'm looking for a bit more sound (or, "oomph") from the Magnaflow.
Finally, I changed out my interior trim but I'll post more on that later. Also planned is a better tune for my supercharger, and to do a STEP to 6-speed swap. I already bought the transmission and many of the associated parts.
Well done, JR ... that will be a big update : swap to MT.
Agreed manual swap sounds awesome, I bet it's going to feel quite different!
