Who me? I didn't do it.
New issues and new parts.
I am fighting a issue with occasionally loosing fuel out my filler cap on left hand turns. I have changed caps 3 times, replaced fuel filler neck, removed the tank evap vent system running a vent hose into the trunk looping it six times then into a catch can. The catch can vent system seemed to work for a little while then just recently started dumping fuel again anytime I have 2/3 to a full tank of fuel. As suggested by another BF member I am going to epoxy the center vent on the gas cap closed.
Moving on to some fun stuff I replaced my BW shifter with a CAE unit. Expensive....yes, worth it..... yes.
installing was a little bit of a challenge but not to tough. The installation directions were written in German since that is where the shifter is made. They were kind enough to translated with google translator and printed it out. That meant alot of confusing sentences confusing jumble of words.
Here is the shifter installed, while I was in there I decided to remove the heater box since it was already disconnected from the engine bay
The heater box removed with new sheet metal installed to cover the hole
Guage cluster reinstalled

Any updates?

Changed jobs and took an income hit for the moment, trying to get new business up and running. May not make any timed events this year with the car.
I still have s54 sitting on stand, just need a few more bits to complete it and get it swapped.

Whoa its been a while! Car hit a tire wall a couple years ago and will transfer all the go fast parts onto another chassi. I will be trying to document everything with time laps and video since we will be stripping a new chassi completely down and then rebuilding it back up.
