headers

if i put headers on my o2 is it gonna mess with emissions at all?

Yes! Even if your car passes the sniffer test it will not pass the visual inspection with headers. Besides, the air pump connects directly to the thermal reactor. So you will have to lose the air pump. I'm in your boat. Having a '76 2002 in Cali sucks balls. I'm getting all the parts together to convert it to 318i fuel injection. Maybe then it will pass.

If you swap in a modern engine into your 02 (engine built after your car was) the state will allow it as long as it retains all smog equipment. E30 318i's had fuel injection and a catylitic converter. Not all these hoses, pumps and valves that our 02's have. Since the engines are the same, I'm gonna try to fool these dudes into thinking I swapped in an E30 motor. If that doesnt work, Im looking for a 75! Sad, because my '76 runs so good!

Hey 0=00=0. Did you get your car from Bimmer Brothers, the one with the tan Scheel seats? Just curious since I saw it around for a while and wondered who ended up getting it.

no, but i had my eye on a few of their cars. when they had that sale i came close to getting the orange one with the 5 speed. so did they move or go out of business?
