I have a set of 11.5 to 1.0 Venolia's in my track car. Venolia's are not a good street piston. They need to get warm before you rev the heck out of the engine, due to higher thermal expansion. I'm told JE's expand a little less (different alloy). Both companies make beautiful pistons. They are expensive and be prepared to wait almost 2 months to get your pistons. Call Ireland if you want the Venolia's or JE's, else call the guys at Maximillian.

All the images I see of Venolia pistons are the early '70s design of Miller&Norburn(which they abandoned in the mid '70s). Somebody got a pic of their current design? If you get a modern design and have your machinist mill away a bunch of the excess weight, they ought ot be OK.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains.

In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
