Eight days in, and still processing.  They have shut down website so can't even check on order.

There trying to catch up site says. Could be at least a week.   

 

Yeah, I placed an order on the 8th. I think they are doing the right thing by not taking new orders. Digging a deeper hole would only make things worse, but it was probably a hard decision to stop money coming in.

All that said, it still makes me nervous. I will wait a few business days and if I haven't seen a shipment notification, I am going to try and cancel so that I can get my control arms and guibo from somewhere else.

Some one appears to be doing some house cleaning over there as well.

Have been bidding a lot on EBay with one seller, lots of interesting stuff.

I won bids on pistons, Tii exhaust manifolds ,carbs and a set of blue manuals.

Return address on all of it has been IE customer service.

Hope they get back up and running soon, need to send them a flywheel for lightening and  may be buy a camshaft.

Placed my order on April 4th. I have gotten three emails asking if they should ship what's in stock or wait on backordered item. The website stated everything was in stock but guess not ?  Told them to ship what they have all three times.

Stated they  "hope to get it out tomorrow "  so eleven days and it just might get shipped.

Yes I sold the business to Andrew Thorum.  I sold the assents of the corporation not the corporation.  This is standard procedure.  Andrew has his own corporation but has the right to use Ireland Engineering Motorsport name, website etc.  Should be business as usual.

I am still helping with tech questions.  You can still use my email address to ask questions.

Jeff, thanks for all you have done for the 2002 community.  I have been buying parts for my 2002 and getting advice from you since 1994, and really appreciate all the ingenuity and common sense you brought to the community.  While I'm sad to see you sell the business, we all need a rest eventually!  

 

I wish success to the new owners of IEMotorsports, you have big driving shoes to fill.

Just got off the phone with Ireland, The header you ordered  eleven days ago,well we don't have it in stock.

But for an extra $120. we can send you one that's ceramic coated.  Oh the out of stock fuel rail that we said was in stock.

Hey look well we found one of those.   So they wanted another $120. for something  I would have to grind off to add a bung and can get done by someone I know for a beer.  

 

Pass,  I asked for a full refund, which I got pretty quickly surprisingly. I think their getting a lot of practice on that.

Never again, one of the most incompetent parts purchase's I have seen.  

 

So any recommendations on a good header would be appreciated.   Thinkin going Big and getting the Kooglewerks one.

You could buy mine.

I‘m in Herbolzheim this afternoon and could just put it in the trunk.

    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
