engine and drivetrain Non '02 parts on an '02....

[chipperwerks]

I know there are mixed feelings about this, but when something works.... I am parting out my e30 and while under the hood I lean on the engine compartment gasket and suddenly think can it fit? Well it is alot longer than an '02 needs but it snaps right into the channel in the hood.... Nothing revolutionary, just thought I'd share!

There are a few that have pioneered the use of E21 door seals in their 02's.

I wish I had seen that before I stupidly replaced my seals with new ones. I have never been happy with the result. I have a bunch of E28 seals knocking around and have often looked at them and looked at the new seals and wondered how I could merge them together. Mind you the thought of cutting those uber expensive new seals keeps putting me off.n
