It does look like a lojack module. Here is a lojack module on eBay that has a similar serial number.

You can email your VIN to LoJack and if it is installed on their records they will transfer it to you for free. At least they use to.

looks like they want $99 to “inspect” it and provide new paperwork (if wanted for insurance discount)

the recovery can be activated with just the VIN, but I have the early warning fobs as well which I think id be stuck paying to transfer.

I adjusted my drivers window which was leaking air when at speed. Followed the Bentley manual... But it turns out that yoi don't need tp pull the door panel to adjust. You can adjust window tilt and heignt thru access ports at the bottom of the door. No more vacuum cleaner noises at 100mph!

Thank you. I already have the parts for the GT2 slave conversion. I did upgraded I/C last year. Took them off this time to work on the brackets and duct work.

If just doing clutch work is dropping the motor easier than trying to coax the trans out? i gotta figure dealing with lost fluids might make one option better than the other.

I've seen people do it with motor in and out. I decided to take the motor out to add injectors and pin/weld coolant fittings along with other maintenance. I personally would rather drop the motor for peace of mind, and its easier to install clutch/trans.
