is that a twist throttle under the wheel?

That's right. Jari is a paraplegic. He uses a hand throttle that also connects to the brake pedal. He won production class at 100AW, and put a lot of other drivers, both 2WD and AWD to shame.

Put a smile on my face, good for him!

Pat, stock heater box works great in the XR. It is pretty light. I do like to be able to switch from defrost to cold air out the dash vents, really helped at Idaho.

that is awesome, even above the crowd surfing wheelchair i saw at Godsmack.

Jari, I too was not aware. You're awesome.

I have a different queestion to add to all this as well:

Do you guys use any of the stock body harness? Or rewire the whole car yourselves?

Ive been just pairing down the stock harness, and once I am healthy, I am going to attack the jungle behind the dash area and try to get the fuses in a central position. Ill have to cut into 2 or 3 bundles that are 3 inches thick, and I am worried its just going to turn into a quagmire. I am not sure yet what angle to take on this...

In BMW i used mainly the stock harness, stereo, airbag etc removed, as said, many times it helps a lot when you can find scheme of the harness if it happens that you need to locate the electric fault..
For extralights,fan etc i used Hella relays which have fuse attached, easy solution...
Many times if you start wiring the car yourself (not always), the outcome is heavier than original, same goes with dash, i´d guess the e36 dash weighs apprx 5lbs airbag removed...
