    I hit a wicked pothole a while ago that really could of totaled the car. I managed to bring it back to working order but things still weren't/aren't right. In any event I replaced the radiator support today. Friday's are my fun days and this was enjoyable for the most part. In all honesty getting the car in "front end service mode" takes no more than 20 mins. The biggest pain in the ass for me is getting the car on the lift to be honest but that's besides the point.

    For all the times I have had the front of of R53's I had no idea there was a mode. I just disconnect the battery and start ripping parts off. Who knew?:D

    There's a mode apparently.

    I have to do it all again this week or next to fix the AC. I thought it was the compress clutch. Lo and behold...
