Weighted NRG **** with TS reverse lock out adapter. Just a minor mod, but makes shifts feel like butter

I spent the day with my 2000 2.5RS Sedan. I started the day by removing my interior, including the carpet. Then I pulled all the easily removable plastics. Vacuumed the interior again, shampoo'd the seats, pressure washed the floor mats and the carpet. I washed the interior, and a bit of the plastics, then re-installed the plastics around the stereo/HVAC. Need to fix a couple bits (the dash bin and the rear base of the center console) but planning on putting the carpet and seats back in tomorrow. Lastly, I washed the exterior. This car was sooooo dirty that it will take probably at least one more wash and a clay bar to look okay. I can still see some of the dirt and such as it had been sitting for ~2 years.

I need a new 2.5RS Shift ****!

Both radiator caps... one was leaking and I figured the other was probably a matter of time.

I put my car back together and took it for a drive. Sooooooo much work but I have to say it's worth it. This thing is night and day better. Have to put up some pics or something. I took 3lbs of crap out of the car and washed every surface except for the headliner. Not sure how to get a headliner out of a GC6 sedan with the windshield in place...

Now to find and close the deal on the replacement.
