That could just be because of the pressure loss on the driver side though

As cool as that is, I couldn't wait to disable my washers via coding. So glad I did. I even installed the no-headlight-washer reservoir courtesy of Tony, and plugged the lines.

Damn washer stuff was always leaking...

Damn Mike is quick!!! http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...psc24fee2f.jpg

Dat stripe

Looks awesome!

Ran over to the dealer (Basney in South Bend) at lunch to pick up some really pretty commonplace parts. They literally had nothing in stock except for one nut. :facepalm

The guy was also confused/concerned that I knew where to find part numbers... :shifty

Why was he concerned you knew how to find part numbers?

Beats me. You'd think someone at a parts counter might be used to that. :dunno

Today I sourced this from G.A.S. in red to go in my Imola ZHP :)

G.A.S. BMW 1.2 Bar Cooling System Cap

Nice! I love my red cap. Good choice!
