Question - am assuming this is a fuel cell and this is a race car?

 

Just curious, love it over all and nice work.


Cheers,

Thanks.  Technically, I think it's just a fuel tank, it doesn't contain any foam.  Also, it's a street car (wannabe race car?)

 

Overkill?  Probably, but it does have a few advantages, it's bigger (15gal vs stock 12?gal), and it allows me to install the EFI pump in the ideal location (per the instructions, all the way back)

 

It was also slightly cheaper to buy the metal and make the support for this tank vs. buying a whole new trunk floor since mine was rotted out.

Totally get it - and a fun maker challenge as well! I can absolutely relate.

 

Thanks for the additional info..

What adapter / plug did you use to fit the quick disconnect air lines into the carb? I just have a piece of foam filtering that air right now and would love to connect it into the filtered air source.

 A little known and much abused fact about  Webers is the float bowl vents on DCOE should be vented to the atmosphere not the filter so they get steady air pressure for the emulsion tubes to meter  not the variable pressure in the filter. Very nice installation using the stock style linkage.

A friend just recently had problems getting his mid throttle jetted - after spending hours on the dyno he called VGS who are the importer and most competent resource for Weber within Germany - they recommended having the fuel bowls connected to the Airbox. After he did so the car ran much better under partial throttle.

It's pretty easy to pull the plug when I'm on the dyno, but it would be a lot of hassle getting it set up in a hurry. We'll see once Im on the dyno.

I took one like that 10mm OD carb side cut down to a couple of mm, 6mm tube OD.

To connect to the carb I used some generic rubber plug where I stamped the hole myself

Fabbed up a solution to the spinning stock knob. Welded a tube and threads onto a stock bottom section. No way this will spin now! May or may not need the set nut with the delrin ball knob. Hopefully the replacement 4 speed and the new shift bushings give a more direct feel.c779c5baed8d90c01e15bbebbb5b61a1.jpg

    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. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. 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
