      I understand. Just for your information, the m52 has a black plastic valve cover. And the m50 manifold on m52 has that issue with the fuel rail cover not being installed without modification, Thus my confusion.

        Haha I understand. I never liked those plastic valve covers anyway.

        BTW, forgot to mention. I did the A/C delete along with heater core delete (none of that shit worked anyway). Would that be a problem getting it BARd? That would not be good if so...

              I've been swapped for a while now, but I just now made an appt with the BAR Referee station for this upcoming monday at 1:30.

              I'll let you know how it goes.

                  Yeah but I'm running everything perfect minus the charcoal canister. I am running the e30 canister, not the e36. If that's the only thing, then it shouldn't be too bad.

                    Why is California such a pain in the ass?

                    I didn't have any emissions testing in TX. You passed a safety inspection if you didn't run into the side of the building on your way in... boooo

                      Is your MIL connected? Does it self test? That will be the first thing they will look at before they even pull the car in and pop the hood.

                                ^ For you to pass, it's supposed to go into what is known as self test, where it comes on when you turn the key, then shuts off after a short period of seconds. If it does not come on, then go off, you will not pass BAR.
