a little flex of the rubber at the cetner bearing is normal. The guibos are not under any particular tension, although you must "preload" the center bearing a couple of mm if you mess with that.

No advice about pertronix, but I beleive the vacuum dizzy was for the regular o2s and the mechanical advance came on the ti and tii models. Ofene found on regular 02s though and is considered a perfo ...

Should all just bolt right up. I don't think there are any significant differences except bumpers, grills, and the rear panel/tail-lights

That shouldn't cause surge or really anyother problem except maybe oily residue under the hood. Make sure the breather hole thingie isn't blocked, though.

May or may not be NLA. Call your dealer or Maximillian.

I think the seal was like $10 or so from my local dealer, with BMWCCA discount. Maybe the bigger, lower one is $20?

I saw that post, but i didn't really seem to help much with my question: How ...

Since nobody else has replied so far, I'll at least make this suggestion. If you call Korman and offer to buy the jets from them, they will probably offer you appropriate advice for base-line jetting ...

here's the text of my e-mail to another about the car in case anybody around here wants it. Advertised in the paper for $700 but probably could be had lots cheaper.

-Well, I bet you could get i ...

Uhmmm.....

no.

the FAQ Store link, but don't know if it still available.

It's been said that except for extreme applications, the rear braces are not worth much except as a means to hold down a battery, and ther ...

So it sounds like a light skim of RTV would be prudent - I don't want to discover it leaks AFTER it's back in the car. disconnecting the pitman arm from the cent link to get it out was a pain - altho ...

There are rubber seals where the shafts go in and what looks a slim paper gasket for the top cover, but nothing for the side unless the metal shims also serve that purpose.

Just curious as I am wor ...

front subframe assembly. If you can raise the front of the car high enough to clear everything before jacking the assembly up to meet the car, or lowering the body onto it, it would be easier. That' ...

Think I'll go look at it this weekend and will report back.

I have no idea what that switch is for off the top of my head.

About the turn signal deal- Check remaining grounds and also pull your instrument cluster and check the grounds there. There is a pr ...

My wife will kill me.. Wonder if I can hide it in my buddies garage til about, oh... November

Never heard it called that before but totally understand. Recently had to take my car to a shop so they could get one of them off for me. I bent one breaker bar and broke another. If you ever do ge ...

less than 1/2 inch, but offer a good handling improvment without being very stiff. Not a bad compromise for a stock-ish 02. I have them with Bilstein HDs and 185/14 yokohamas. Handles very well but ...

And do I need one?
