Here's to you Paul. Pure class, and an inspiration. From Cool Hand Luke to racing Le Mans, yours was a full one - R.I.P.

Wouldn't really disagree, Toby. But IE sells the SS valves for less than the stock ones - so it's a nice value (even if the advantage, if any, is slight).

Hi Michael. Been a while, hope all's well with you.

Yeah, as others have already indicated, if you've got an E12 head, it has the 'enlarged' stock valve sizes already (inlet = 46mm, exhaust = 38mm ...

The best sunsheild, custom made to fit a 2002, is made by Covercraft - their UVS100 model. It fits EXACTLY, is rigid in place (held by the visors), and folds up nicely (5 folds) and quickly for stora ...

Paul,

Simply awesome drawing - thanks for sharing. I've loved Ed Roth's stuff since forever - and had NEVER seen an 02 Rat Fink graphic before. A-MAZ-ZING.

R.I.P. Big Daddy...

FWIW, I live in Denver, but will only take my 02 to Bimmer Haus in Broomfield...

Ok, cool. The distance from back-edge top center notch to bottom center notch in the center of a late model 2002 kidney grill is ~ 9 3/8 inches. What's yours measure Les?

Hi Les. I agree, the metal part is an exact match for a late model 2002 kidney grill. It's the plastic part that's different - instead of 2 studs at the inner ends of the straights of the center sec ...

I'd be concerned about undercoat outgassing/smell too. Why not try some fatmat/dynamat type product?

Mr. Newman is as classy as one can get, in all he's ever done, and a true racer to the core. Paul 'groks' cars, and always has. All the best to him...

They might or might not. What's the offset?

" lost wheel weights are ground down by passing vehicles and then wind up in California’s drinking water...".

Ummmmm, so you guys in Cali get your drinking water from roadside run-off?? ;-)

Looks like you had a nice turnout and fun trip! Some nice 02s there. I like the pic with them all parked on both sides of the median, and the look on that guy noticing them all.

Thanks for sharin ...

Costs gotta cover those snazzy, bada$$ painter's coveralls with the Motorsport patch and stripes! ;-)

Process pf elimination... It's NOT a Behr. Thus either a Frigiking or Clardy?

Here's a wiring diagram of how to wire a PerTronix with a MSD system.

HTH,
Tom

ps: Search is your friend - many threads on Pertronix, Coils, and MSD in the archives...

I picked up the Dynolicious app on Tuesday - only $13 (compared to $200 for a VTech or even more for a VBOX... great deal). It uses the precision accelerometers in the iPhone.

So I tried it out a ...

OK, my $.02 ;-)

Nope, never had that happen... sorry. Browser issue?

Great pics of some great cars, Bill. Thanks!

My absolute fave is the Bizz P538. Is that the famous chassis #002, with the lone Lambo 4-liter V12 engine? Wow! (The other 4 had Chevy V8s - P538 ...

Besides the "thumbs-up" there's only one other universal handsign I can think off... Wouldn't suggest using that one!

Yellow carnauba has a darkening effect on paint. 2 friends of mine have VWs with the same midnight blue metallic paint. Both like to hit the VW car shows. One uses a wax with carnauba in it - his c ...

I run this same set-up, and it all works great together. (along with an MSD Blaster 2 coil, and tach adapter.) The installation and wiring instructions for all of these are found online, in fact the ...

DCOEs are actually supposed to be at a slight incline angle (inlet upwards) for proper/best operation. So the dbilas intake is actually better than using a tii intake... All true sidedrafts intakes ...

Penth2o - Thanks, it's not a stripe, it's a BMW LTW Flag (originally outfitted to the LTW E36 M3, in the BMW Motorsport colors). Mines charcoal, on my Cosmos paintjob. I custom-fit it to my 02. Loo ...

Went skiing on 7-19-08. Drove the grin machine to Artist Point between Mt. Baker and Mt. Shuksan.
