You'd need the M52/S52 AC compressor and bracket to mount it to the engine block and the AC hoses. I'd...

I've only seen forum trolls say stuff like that. In real life I've had lots of people come up and compliment me on the ti and talk about how good it looks and how practical it is.

VANOS is essentially a more complicated version of VTEC, around 4K is when the VANOS switches over. So it's more pronounced with the cams but the M50 manifold is much more aggressive in the top end...

You can use the gearbox from the 318ti on the M50. I don't see why the 318ti clutch wouldn't work for the M50 except that it is smaller than what would have come on a manual transmission 325is. I'd...
