Blower wiring and PCV heater recall done. Car is clean, but the dealer obviously used an automatic washer so the swirl marks are horrendous. Bummer. Also had them balance and rotate the wheels, so now the car doesn't shake as bad on the highway.

Will-do. You might hate it, though...you'll have to switch from the oil-water heat exhanger to the 135i oil cooler block, and I know you recently installed the former, as I did.

Started working on pulling the engine.
Have to figure out where to attach to the back to lift it out. The whole thing at one is going to be an unbalanced mess, but that's what it's gotta be. |

What exhaust did you use for your conversion? And do you follow TUN3D battery tray or so something else?

Those tips look nice. Think your guy could make another? Do you have a muffler anywhere?

Unfortunately he's up in Pennsylvania. I'm down in Florida now. Not sure where you're abouts but he'd definitely do another, would just need to go to him. Any exhaust shop with a bender and plasma cutter could do this though. We did have to get a little creative but when you look at exhausts made by like Remus, you can understand the idea

Ordered a Moroso 3-quart engine oil accumulator, hopefully I won't suffer any engine oil starvation issues as I continue to get faster. Gotta get to 250,000 miles...

I'm not sure what some of them do to be honest; but I'd say try them and change it back if you see any negative effects. I hadn't seen that list before; I'll be coding them in next time I have NCS attached to my car. |

Weird request, could you get the part number off the steel bracket that holds the oil cooler to the frame rail?
EDIT: FOUND IT! Part number 51647154546, if anyone is curious.

Mine's just going to utilize a manual valve for now. I can open the valve once the car's started before going out on track, then close it when I open the hood to cool it down afterwards. Might decide to switch to an electric valve later, but IDK.
