So this is something like what this guy is using?  Flat shifts on the way up, directly from one gear to the next?

About yes. I plant to use clutch thou but maybe cutting spark like in that Wimmer’s car flat shift could be done (tempted but not going there yet).

We cut the spark for the moto to have the ability for a flat shift, but it's a sequential box.  I didn't know this was really possible with an H pattern box.  Thanks.

Went for a drive after the rain stopped.  Had fun with an new M2 that beat my ass pretty good, but did not stop giving me thumbs up. 

Love the stance and tint

No, my class rules don't allow (luckily or santa wouldn't have any limbs). It's H-pattern 6-speed with transfer gear.

Just curious, what would you buy if you wanted to put a sequential box in your 2002 with a M10

Haven’t really looked that option so much. But there are several brands that i might consider (torque rating is what i look first). I think i would go Samsonas because they’re close.

tzei must have been really, really nice this year!

Samsonas seems to be real good. The torque rating on a lot of these boxes are very low. Running a turbo, I'm forced to look elsewhere.   I can't wait to hear how yours goes!

I rolled the latest acquisition into the shop yesterday.

 

It’s a ‘73 base model with alloys and an A/C system that I’ve never seen before.

We bought it from GA where it has been for at least 20yrs, but with the soundness of the body I’m guessing it has spent most if not all of its life in the south. It was delivered to Hoffman in Bakial blue. It been resprayed at some point in a solid color (still feels like a BMW shade though). The car hadn’t been driven in 10yrs. I pulled the plugs, fogged the engine, opened the Weber 32/36 to check for cleanliness and note jetting (seems all backwards and off a bit, but I’ll worry about that later), filed the points, install a battery and pulled the fuel sender to check the tank (rust free and the gas still smells good). As an added bonus- I found the original tool kit nestled in next to the fuel tank. 

I cranked the engine without the plugs until it had oil pressure. Plugs back in and filled the float bowl with gas and cranked it over. It didn’t fire right away as the (likely original) coil wire (still has the big pick-up cube and lead at the coil end for the diag. connector) wasn’t making good contact (no spark). Once it did light and ran for a few minutes I shut it off and turned my attention to the stuck clutch pedal. A quick clean/hone of the master got me a leaky, but functional clutch. I proved all 5 gears on the lift. The service brakes are non-op (had to pull the pads to move the car). Parking brakes work great so I took it for a quick spin around the lot as is. I never get tired of playing with these cars. ?

Not familiar with that A/C installation either, Ed!

 

It’s conceptually similar to the rare Mark IV Custom system in the presence of a distribution vent on the dashboard parcel tray (below). But that console suggests a possible home-made system. Is the evaporator in the console, or in the glove compartment? Where is the blower fan located? I’m guessing there are no brand names or markings on the unit...

 

Best regards,

I'm happy you ended up scooping it up. You don't seem to waste any time at all!
Im currently in the process of moving out of my shop and going through the purging process. I just came across the same tool kit that was in my 02 when I got it (empty though) and i tossed it!... Luckily I don't think I dumped that can in the dumpster yet though... Looks like I'll be digging through the garbage today.
Its wierd how things work, had I not posted that roundie In hopes of someone on here buying it I would be out an original tool kit.
Looks like we both win! [emoji482]

Got my 02's stablemate legal. It's an '80 733i with a repaint. Under 80k miles. Rides like a limo.
