The bouncy issue I was having was the front strut nuts were a little loose...oops. It handles great! All I added was M5 sways. 

Did you make the other videos on the youtube account? 

I have put just over 400 miles on it and all seems good. I am going to change the cone air filter to an airbox as the intake sound is just too loud. You can't hear the engine at all really....just all air sucking. 

I have an airbox from a e30 that fits and one from an e23 that is a little bigger but I think it will fit too. I will have some time this week to make something work. One plus about the e23 is the box is metal so I can change it as needed and weld to it. 

I was hoping to have the AC charged by now but the heater core is leaking so I need to replace that first... 

It was around 90 degrees here this weekend so I spent a lot of time inside. Worked on refinishing the wheels today. Right now the lips are just bare aluminum...with two coats of wax on them. I don't have them put together yet and I am at the point of should I powder coat the lips clear or leave them bare..... What do you all think? 

I bought a keyless entry/alarm off ebay with the remote in the key. I didn't hook up the alarm part. Just the keyless. It is all hooked up. I just need to get the keys cut. 

Worked on adapting the BMW cruise cable to work with the LS1 TB. Just need to add a crimp after the little snap thingy. 

yup...the BMW cruise is it's own system and not really connected electronically to the engine.

Nothing wrong with the e28 system.... 

I wish I could make the BMW cruise setups work with non BMWs.
