Wow, not sure how I missed this thread until now but nice work! That bay is going to be dead fucking sexy :up:

Wow, the bay prep looks awesome. I'm glad you're taking your time on this, the M20 will look like a jewel sitting in a great setting.

Removing the ABS brain is EXTREMELY easy. Undo 4 nuts and it comes right out, unplug two electrical connectors or so, and it's gone.

Thanks! I sure hope it gets painted within the next couple weeks.

Well if I got rid of ABS I would want to get rid of the whole unit in the engine bay.

If your going through all this trouble to clean up the engine bay then go with an m42 radiator. No more bulky overflow tank.

Running a Aluminum mishimoto. Lifetime warranty. Cheaper than OEM

I thought about the m42 radiator though

it won't be once you replace that $89 expansion tank. Guess thats why most people just paint them black

haha, I meant SRS. The SRS unit is easy to remove inside the car.
