Just a little tired of being asked, its cool though.

For the moment, I'm just going to get it running. Whether its to BAR's expectations or not.

I'll get it smogged and then maybe worry about BAR later

Had my buddy weld my brake booster clevis so I can relocate it half an inch towards the drivers side. He also welded the s52 Exhaust manifold evap flanges, so I can delete it



Got my AKG quickshifter

Ripped off the intake manifold and wiring harness

Why did you have to cut a stud off? On holes like that where precision matters...did you start with a small drill bit and work your way up?

you cant use that upper passenger side stud anymore. It'll interfere with the pedal assembly I believe.

Well precision really doesnt matter all that much honestlt, but yes I did do it that way. I was just a little off with the measurement on that one hole, but I slotted it and it goes in pretty nice now.

Unbolted the oil pan so its almost ready for the e34 m50 pan



Relocating the Brake booster. Not the cleanest job, but it does the job hah

Had to cut one stud off the booster


Now I just have to mess with the clevis and then its ready
