Yeah, I would not want to do another standalone because this would be for a street car and would need to be OBD-II compliant. Do you have links to wiring diagrams or is that something I need to purchase? That was critical for doing the RX-8 swap.

Somehow the shipper managed to contact the fire department of the town where the sort facility was, and they reported extinguishing a large trailer fire and having the burning trailer moved to a more remote location so it wouldn't ignite other trailers. Armed with that information, around January 5th the shipper got hold of a manager at the sort facility and asked them to go out and look at the far end of the lot, and the mnanager said he didn't have to, and this explained the burned-out carcass of a trailer out there. Duh. I wonder how much non-traceable mail was lost in that fire? |

Oh yeah, to center of shifter ball. Roughly. I don’t want to pretend that that was a high precision measurement.

Nick, if it's convenient, can you give me an approximate width inside the factory frame horns in the engine bay? In other words, how wide is the engine bay at its narrowest?
Because much of my BMW knowledge is slowly slipping away, I had forgotten that BMW cants its engines towards the right side of the car, which may be problematic for me |

luckily, that's rectangular, so I can take an easy measurement at the front.
in other news, my shift carrier has reappeared on USPS tracking, so... fingers crossed!
