I'm glad you didn't cuz I'm trying to buy it now!

I've got a set of RD headers from the 2nd repro run, and it looks like the flanges are exactly the right size to bolt right...

[McGyver]

Has anyone seen or have pictures of a RD midpipe?

I think I found one locally that would be a direct bolt-on to connect the headers to a catback, but it would be nice to know exactly what...

Did CATuned ever have feedback on the quality of the machine work on the head, bottom end issues, and/or missing parts? I would assume they could/should have caught all those issues before selling and...

Remove the eccentric and check it for a flat spot. Running it too loose could have damaged it or wore it out. Swapping on a new eccentric should be very simple.

I have never seen an m20...

Wow, that's clean. I love the wheels! Congrats on getting back into one!

[McGyver]

And that's why you get the big bucks...

Disregard my other post, you likely don't have central locking.

You would be looking for the black plastic part in the bottom left that has a rod that can come out to lock the fuel door by...

Jumping into the central locking stuff!

Central locking means that locking/unlocking one of the doors or trunk with the key will unlock all the doors and trunk (usually). From inside the...

This is cool, i sent you a PM

The f30 is out of commission until I can get a replacement upper rad hose. It seems like the compression clamp loosened up and I'm leaking a shitload of coolant, I'm actually super lucky it didn't blow...

Just fucking clankers and slop here...

Well done on getting your car back! And it looks like it was a great build!
