Right below the 17mm/19mm there is a plastic doohiky. My tray never had that. What is it and what is it used for?

It's a tool that allow you use to crank the windows up and down if the motor fails.

It's one of the less-common items that I mad sure to find.

Installed the M3 cable tray, had to modify it a bit to work with the factory harness. Installed the IHKS. Found a great deal on a complete tool kit, so that went in.

I didn't order the two stoppers that go on the oil pump shaft, like a derp, so I got the windage tray installed, waiting on those to come in to finish up the bottom end.

What service did you choose from safetyrestore? How much did it cost you? Keep up the good work, loving the updates

I emailed them and they told me to order (5) $75.00 services, and the fifth one covers the lap belts for the rear.

Painted the motor mounts, and the seat belt rails.

Shocks and springs installed.
I'll install the new wheel hubs when they're on the car.

New reinforced subframe from Garagastic, with new 2.7 lock to lock steering rack installed.

Work hours are increasing, and had an AutoX Saturday, so I didn't get my full weekend

Got the front suspension taken apart, getting ready to drop the subframe, and oil pan to finish up the engine.

Painted the struts, installed the M3 offset bushings, and painted the lollipops. Painted the wheel wells.

Got the heater pipes on the IHKS, waiting on a temp switch for Germany, which ECS said was I'm stock, sigh.

I had my limiter set to 7500 on my M20 for years. Never had an issue.

Good to know, thanks.

Free literature.

I love the internet.

I just saw this. Isn't the internet amazing?! I printed one off for the IX just the other day and it's been a huge help!
