Welcome, sir. Good looking car.

Those A pillars were actually repaired...or I attempted to. I reglued the felt, stretched it and let it dry before reinstalling. Was great for a couple months, then started to loosen again. Not sure what I did wrong, but I'd honestly just buy replacements...don't think it's going to be a permanent fix at this point.

Notes below

Quick to-do list I just came up with. Things I need to look in to or check.

1. Transmission fluid, plugs Transmission fluid is original, probably due.
2. Rear diff fluid, plugs Same as above
3. Rear diff mounts These are original, though I never noticed any reason to replace them.
4. Transmission mounts (?) Original, but again no reason to replace, IMO
5. Engine mounts (?) I replaced these with the M3 versions when I had the oil pan gasket redone.
6. Tint
7. Sun visors (wont stay "up" when fully extended towards the windshield) One of my biggest complaints too.
8. Center console plastics
9. Rear leather dent (something was in the back seat and it caused an impression that hasnt gone away) Sorry...car seat. Throw some leatherique at it, soak it in the hot sun for a day, should soften up.
10. Oil filter housing gasket Relatively easy DIY. Don't pay a shop 600+ dollars to do it.
11. Passenger front window regulator Again, do it as a DIY. Save some money.
12. Headunit firmware Eonon releases updates, though I flashed the most recent version earlier this year.
13. Alignment Just done, spot on.
14. Auto-dimming mirror
15. Auto-unlock
16. S/W 4.0+ LCM, Triple blink
17. B-pillar trim
18. Black kidney grills
19. Yellow tint foglights
20. Paint exhaust tips
21. E-brake adjustment I adjusted the rear shoes, they are new, just tighten the nuts at the handle more.

Welp, honeymoon period is over. Car currently doesnt want to start. Possibly a starter? Got all my dash lights and headlights are strong, per OBC, battery voltage is 12.2-12.3v. No click or anything from the starter.

Going to check voltage going to the starter today or tomorrow and see where that leads me.

Nice looking car. Love the way it sits.

Wasn't able to do anything yesterday due to weather. Hopefully things will be clear after work tonight.

So, I dont think it's the starter after all...

Thursday I tried to start it with no luck.

Friday, rain, no progress.

This morning I went to Harbor Freight and picked up a cheap multimeter. Grabbed everything I needed to yank the airbox to get to the starter and went out to the car. For S&G's I tried to start the car and it fired right up. Ok.... so I take it for a drive, everything is fine. Get back home, shut it down, start it up again. Hmm.... so I let it sit for a few hours... go out to start it again with my "main" key and no luck again. So I grab my 2nd key, fires right up again.

So, with that, Im thinking it has to be EWS related. Both keys have starting issues. So something in and around the steering column.

Curse you!!! I wanted this car so bad.

Guy still had it up on CL when I started looking, but you had beat me to it by just a few days.
