    It hasn't arrived yet, but I managed to scoop up an original JT Designs front strut bar off of eBay for a song. Wasn't really looking or planning on buying a strut bar of any kind, but the price was right and everyone seems to unanimously agree that this is one of the best out there. No to mention they're NLA. Will update with pics once it comes in.

    Doing a boatload of stuff that's been piling up for a while:

    oil filter housing gasket and new vanos line (to hopefully fix the last of the oil leaks; oil pan and valve cover already addressed)
    replace damaged x-brace and re-do stripped frame rail rivnuts (not looking forward to that)
    Evo3 SSK+DSSR install
    BavAuto speaker install
    TMS sway bars
    new exhaust hangers
    ...and all the standard "while it's in the air" maintenance items

    Late reply but what brand headers are these? Any pros with going with aftermarket shorty headers for the E36? I have the bimmerworld trackpipe + exhaust so I've been wanting to get shorty headers that bolt up to them.

    Intro to forum

    Well, I bought the car this week. This is going to most likely become a weekly post though, given how many thing she'll need. Excited to be part of the forum for sure though!

    Fuel filter, delrin clutch pedal bushing, and steering coupler. (haven't noticed any issues with the coupler but saw a picture of one and decided that any rubber guibo from 1999 HAS to be due for replacement in 2020! Did all the suspension bushings years ago but had no idea the steering was connected with a rubber connection!

    And since why not get carried away, adding a few more to the list:

    3.5" MAF
    3.5" intake boot and ASC delete
    24lb injectors
    M50 manifold + kit
    replacement underpanel (the TMS one to replace my old tired MM panel and its crappy hardware)

    Great tire choice! I'm running 235/45/18 square on mine and they are so very comfortable, quiet, and somehow still sticky and stiff at the same time.

    For the leather I would suggest "Leatherique conditioner"... Totally soak all the leather with the windows closed for 24 hours... even better if you park in the sun... Then use their cleaner to clean up the sticky mess... It's long been a favorite for european cars. They don't want you to clean then condition, they want you to soak in the conditioner and it lifts the dirt.
    Depending how rough your leather is you may have to repeat... When it is as good as you can get it you can get a matching repair kit from them that is matched to your colour for any deep cracks or holes.

    I refurbished front and back seats in my convertible 7 years ago (I had never worked with leather or upholstery in my life) and everyone still exclaims that my interior looks like a brand new car.

    Probably could’ve done a lot better things with $18, but whatever.

    Also bought a new gear shift knob and M emblem for it since they’re NLA and I don’t want to have to wait for another production if it happens.

    Yea well if you plan on doing it set aside about an extra 1k or so on trim pieces. I had every molding and trim piece replaced on the exterior of the car.

    Had the fenders all rolled as well. I’d have it by now, but waiting on the ltw front splitter

    Rear window switches (best part of owning a sedan is having more windows that can fail). Front passenger fender liner kit and a new pre-facelift nose panel because I can't stand to look at the dent in mine anymore. Out of curiosity, any ideas why pre-facelift noses are cheaper than facelift? I hardly ever see pre-facelift cars, so I just assumed facelifts were more prevalent....
