Al, you borrowed a seat for an 02 from me a couple of years ago so that you could match upholstery to a customer's order. You said you would return it "soon" when you came and picked it up. I really ...

I've got a pair of Dan Williams' M20 engine mounts for sale on ebay. When I bought them a year or two ago, they were his new and improved ones with the bugs worked out...

Anyone have suggestions for a low-cost transporter? I might consider an open deck truck, but I had bad luck once (front lid blew off in transit). An enclosed truck would be ideal, but they cost a lo ...

IIRC, the parts would be Record. Wasn't Super Record and the others all later stuff? I have saved the link you gave, and will read it later. Thanks!

All of the parts on my frame are clamp on. I ...

Ah, the good 'ol cycling days - wool clothing (no Spandex for this kid thanks!), leather toe straps, Neetsfoot oil, helmets optional (those almost useless hairnet type), 10 sppeds (!!). Here is a sca ...

As a former bike racer (late 60s - early 70s!!), I would probably be interested. Haven't ridden in years, but am restoring my old bike to get back on the road some day. (Finding some of the correct ...

Engineers usually only specify what is needed for something to work properly. The bodies on 02s actually have pretty decent metal thickness. If you want to see flimsy, cut up an old Datsun. They ar ...

I was just looking at some 02 listings and was looking at one car
that is listed by a dealer as being in "mint mint mint" condition. But I can
see that it has a complete new front nose panel and ...

Many thanks!!

That is the more recent one that I mentioned and that Robspeed referred to. I think that is all the info. I posted a few years ago.

Hey z, I am pretty sure it was a reply to a thread started by someone else. I think it was in 2001 or early 2002. It was a good reply I posted, and I remember Robspeed referred to it about 6 months ...

What is the deal with vehicle legroom these days?

We need to get a new vehicle so that a 16 year old son can drive it. He is just over 6 feet and still growing (just turned 16 too). Currently, he ...

Hi. I posted a thread about 3 years ago on details of installing a LSD and doing the required CV jint swap. I tried to find the thread using the search, but couldn't find it. I did find it once bef ...

I reported that listing to ebay, and voila! It has been pulled. Way to go ebay!

I defer on comments re: Bigus Dickus...

Just another scam.... The vehicle is in Australia, but the seller is in the US? What the fig? This is a hijacked user ID. The scammer is hiding the bidder's identities so you can't warn the other ...

Yup, they are exactly what I wanted and they showed up in today's mail. They are the 77 E21 vented front ones for the big brake upgrade.

Momo hubs for an 02 are around. I have one for a 320i and an older style 02 one. The newer ones have a collapsible section for safety in a collision, but the older style is solid aluminum. If safet ...

That is for a pair of them at that! I think I just got a steal of a deal on ebay. (I was the only bidder too.) Wouldn't these normally be more like 10 times that price? And the post office didn't ...

You'd also have to use a 320i cam if using a 320i distributor. You can swap shaft parts AFAIK to get around this, but you have to make sure the shaft turns in the correct direction, otherwise oil wil ...

I am wondering what the general state of mail and identity theft is in the US? Is it much of a problem? It is a HUGE problem here in Canada. Canada Post basically washes their hands of the problem ...

I bought a nice Snap-on one for something like $105 on ebay. If you get a used one this way, you should call your local Snap-on guy and get them to re-calibrate it.

Winstontj is right, you need a 3/4" breaker bar to loosen those nuts. You'll also want a long pipe to slip over the bar for more leverage. If the nut was put on with 200 or so ft-lbs, you can bet th ...

I also note that the front nose panel (clip) has either been replaced with a non-Tii one, or that the car cannot be a real Tii. And the mounting brackets for the air cannister are not original. It's ...

I would remove some body sections by drilling out the spot welds. It's not that hard really. The front nose should be taken off this way for sure. You could take the entire car apart by drilling ou ...

Thanks Todd! Now, why can the Haynes manual just say that??? I wonder how many Ford truck owners are running around with torqued up (or loose) front wheel nuts?

Gil

The front rotors and pads on my 2000 F150 truck need replacing, and I have the parts. I bought a good 'ol Haynes manual. But all the manual says for re & re the rotors is "remove grease cap, wheel b ...

Jerry. Those are a nice looking version of Cosmic wheels. Mine look different, and different from the ones C.D. posted. Mine say design no. 958.077 on them. I'd post a pic if I could find my digic ...

Anyone know where to find Cosmic alloy rims? I have two of them for a non-02 car that I want to match up. They are 6"x13" with a 4x98mm bolt pattern. Were these available for 02s?

I have seen ...

My dad was 84 when he passed away. That was 11 years ago. He went downhill fast in the last year. We were never close and we never talked much, ever. Funny thing is, I miss him more the older I ge ...

You should keep in mind that the outer CV joints take a lot more of a beating compared to the inner ones because of the vertical movement. If an 02 has seen a lot of rough roads and/or high speed dri ...

Mike, yes, the cap won't fit anymore. Maybe if the aluminum is soft enough to have bent like it did, it can be squeezed back into place. And no, I don't want to be one of "those POs"!

Thanks,
