Hows the tranny assuming you got a stick shift? I had an 06, but shifting it was like moving a stick around in a bucket of gravel. After 40 thousand miles and grinding 2nd or 4th at least once a day was the last straw. That was after changing the fluid and going to a trd shifter. Never had problems with the old benz or geo I had.
Cant wait to see the final project. Your making me wish I still had my xa.
