What is it and can i remove it?
Alright on the 02-03 model, when looking at the engine, there is a cover-like piece of plastic on the left side of the engine (look in pics if you dont know what i am talking about). Does that cover a pully/sprocket or something. What is it and can i remove it?

Thanx
