Hey Helmsman - tack ska du ha!

(I'm Danish)

Thanks man, yeah it's definitely been a loooong process to say the least, but very happy to have finally found my car and very much looking forward to being part of the forum.

mine has been driving perfectly for months... went to lunch, got in car, limp mode. Actuator bank 2. Indy confirmed since it was close by the shop. Little lesson for me, as I wasn't expecting this anytime soon.. the previous Indy told me via email last year, both TAs were rebuilt with new CF gears, but today I went back and realized they probably didn't touch the circuit boards. So that band-aid wasn't the long-term fix I had hoped. Instead of having new brakes installed tomorrow as I have been planning, I will dropping a grand on a new actuator.

Sucked limping home from office... will have to limp back to Indy tomorrow morning as well.

Wait, before you get yet another short lived OEM TA, take a look her: https://www.rebuild.org.uk

They are represented in the US also. Good shit, less than half price, life time warranty.

Yeah you should. The UK guys sent mine NEXT DAY delivery. Did deposit and sent mine back after I did the job.
Ps. Paid 600Euro for two including freight. The dealer should have 1050Euro, each…!

Installed pics to come 😈😈

akkando · 10-25-2019, 04:05 PM

GTS transmission flash as well as mirrors fold on lock.

Definitely shifts harder at 5 on Drivelogic. Not so much at 4.

6ixSpd · 10-25-2019, 05:02 PM

Washed, tank filled + stabilizer, over inflated the tires, and put away until next Spring. Good night, sweet prince...

wfdeacon88 · 10-25-2019, 06:36 PM

Had this little f*** replaced and have my car back to normal. If anyone is interested in a faulty TA for cheap, holler..

Sell it to M Power motorsports

Had the calipers painted, stock paint had scratches and was peeling off. I was aiming at the F80 caliper color and I think it came out pretty good, nice detail but not too cheesy

Calipers look great, rotors on the other hand look like they've seen a hard life.

What specific stabilizer do you use and do you disconnect the battery.

JP10 · 10-26-2019, 01:41 PM

Got them installed, 15mm on the front 12.5mm on the rear. Rear fit is perfect, couldn't be happier. Need to lower my front a little more(coil overs are adjustable so that'll be cake).

I know some people aren't going to be into the color combo, but I've always wanted a gold set of wheels and the styling of the 220m is fire regardless of your opinion haha. So just decided to get them refinished by kwicksilver down here in Charleston and they did a fantastic job. I went for a satin finish over a clear.

Yes my inspections been out for over a year don't pay that any attention lol.

Yikes those are beyond EOL.

Installed a front lip and rear diffuser since they've been sitting in my garage since March. Also removed my oem spoiler. Fitment of the diffuser is trash though 😑.
