    To this point, I've been lucky enough in that no one has ever asked me why my E28 has a dogleg gearbox...

          Already sold that stuff, but if you need a m20 part chances are I have it.

          I don't drive the car in the rain, or really ever. In truth one side was missing when I bought the car, the other was broken, and became permanently fubar when I tried to run the custom brake ducting.

          As for the coolant overflow reservoir, I badly wanted to get rid of it, but space and cooling needs of the m90 rule out the m10 or the m42 radiators. So I bought a shiny white new one to at least make me feel better.

          As for the wisher wipers, I use them too much to get rid of them, but I did get the IX reservoir that sits in the battery tray to at least clean up the fender area.

                if racecar, then oil cooler. Otherwise, poser. Or toasted motor.

                  Why too cheap to buy new parts? Because r3vuser.

                  Just playing, I'm guilty of almost all of that stuff, but I do use my car. Deleting my high beam for an intake dropped like, 5 pounds and gained 5hp.

                          Damnit, so much hate on my racecar


                          Anybody have any idea how much the a/c compressor and all the lines weigh? Its coming out regardless, just curious.
