live fast,die young and drive it like you stole it

I think that's why the tech section and parts for sale section will live on forever on this site.

I remember back in the day when my engine bay looked like that. Except no bov like you, Actually whats the deal with that?..Looks like u have it blocked off but a vac line still attached?..Inside that little black canister is there like a little diaphragm or something?..Doesn't really look like a bov tho?

Pretty sure it''s illegal to remove your head restraints; they help prevent whiplash.
