    Fortunately, it does look like its mostly surface damage. I'm going to look at it later or wait til i get to VA Beach again and run by BMW and get someone to look at it. Just the principle sucks

    The problem is there's no other replacement manifolds. Ebay is a no go, and a stock one is a bandaid... I've heard about the pope install, but ima pray it goes smoothly

But the lip is damaged and the person didn't leave a note. I'm sure ith happened in the apartment complex but oh...

    I read somewhere that since it's electronic the resistance could change and give inaccurate readings. I looked into it already.

    Late update, but I've been slowly but surely getting the gauges wired in. I'm never doing it again lmao hoping to finish it up tonight after I get off work (depending on how tired I am) but I have somehow lost my coolant temp gauge. I need to get the exhaust pipe out of the car to have the...

    I got this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CW4BUPK/?tag=m20b7-20 Fiance has the older version and I love mine. We've been in (not an exaggeration) 6 not at fault accidents in the past year and a half (her poor Sonata) and the videos have saved our asses a few times. It eliminates all...

    It came out decent. I decided to get very drunk and try to finish it so it looks rough. At this point, I just want the car together again. I can always go back and fox it

    Ran into my first snafu. "measure twice cut once" has never been more relevant. Like an idiot and after a few minutes of research and not being able to feel the booster hose, I decided f it. ima cut and see what happens. as soon as I cut it and looked at the hose I realized I was staring at the...

    Well, yesterday I finally started the long awaited gauge install (@323 will be so happy with me). Got the car in the air and the front bumper off. Work has been super busy with the Rona. They closed the automotive part of my job so its just stocking and cleaning and a bunch of random tasks...
