    Given the central placement of the attachment point I am going to go with Mike and say motorcycle though I can't seem to find a pic of them as an accessory in any of my literature

    The column's vin plate in addition to the plate in under the hood has always been fine for me in the past at the DMV. AAA would be a sure bet, but probably unnecessary unless you need other services ( you do have your Real ID compliant DL, right?)

    Piece of cake. Easier than the older E21 log because there is space under there that the rounded runners take up in the E21 system. Longer arms do help though. Having used both with EFI I would say where do you want to drive/what cam do you have. The e30 manifold has better low-end, but the volume is a bit small and constrains the top-end (overall HP) a bit. Reverse for the E21 log with a more favorable manifold volume.

    It's not like Dr. Schrick has been working on the 292 or 305 anytime recently either. They are all "old" tech and depend heavily on the set up. Ironically I think the greater velocity afforded by the smaller 118 ports may actually benefit the OP in balancing low-end and top-end performance. Your going to be reving up there anyway with a 1600.

    That's because the KBA is 48235 which comes up as Ronal.

    Hi Enoz, Sending you a PM. _Walter

    I'll take one as well. Thanks for doing this!

    I will chime in on this front. I am not sure about the later Megasquirts, but in my experience V1 needed clean power, once we got to v2 (v2.2) the key was a good separate ground for the ecu and sensors, I would hope that later versions continue that trend. I have a trunk mounted battery and just bring a single feed forward to a distribution block, all engine electrics route from that single point, including the MS. No noise problems and I have over 10y on this system now.

    I agree with the 118 being sacrificial. Notice in the second video with the head build they are using an E12. The exhaust ports also look more conservative.

    Remember it's Germany, TUV and other regs. limit what you can put on a street driven car, and expect the manufacturer's agent to work on. So, probably not only OE, but not much more than OEM.

    Really great find. The rear wheels are early 80's Audi, like from the body shell behind the tii in the first pic.

    The nuts securing the front carb are loose in that picture. But maybe you were doing some work?

    So Sorry Daniel. I wondered what was up when I hadn't seen the car around recently. It will be missed. -Walter

    My understanding is that Housewrap (tyvek) is indeed close to what BMW provides if/when you order these.

    Your Dad will be greatly missed here. A great giving man of humble spirit and excellent advice. My condolences.

    Ok, I have to ask where motomoto sees the picture with the bump out in the front? Or is there something different with the back of the sunroof that informs you that it is an "aftermarket" one. Just curious since I happen to have a non factory, dealer installed sunroof. As you correctly surmise (per the original dealer sales invoice) it was a 911 Goldie instaled by their body shop. Unfortunatly no coveted wind-deflector. I will second the fact that the parts for the operation of the VW/Porsche version are easier to find and more complete than what is currently provided by BMW.

    Yes but most of the Mann fuel filters have been made in South Africa or Portugal for some time now. No reason the chinese can not do as well. Already a huge profit margin on those things, not like there would be much gained cutting additional corners. Bearings/machined parts well that is another matter.

    This! As probably the rare person who actually has owned one of these in the U.S. that is exactly what they are from. And they were confortable. More so than the Recaro Trophy in the 16v VW GLI I also owned at the same time.

    My relativley low mile short block (unrebuilt) was at one time in an automatic, and I too have the exact noises that Pat describes. Everything else checks out (I too suspected crank or rod bearings) just have not had time or the inclination to do anything about the crank thrust slop yet. Perhaps the auto puts some strange load on the crank during upshifts?
  23. WVGranat
    I'm in too, 7:30 it is.
  24. WVGranat
    I will try and make it too

    You might be able to if you can find sheet metal by the belt attachment points that is reinforced. However the biggest problem will be finding an appropriately strong upper attachment point. This one is an integral part of the LATCH system and the seat will not work as designed without the upper attachment. I always just put the car seat in the passenger seat though (lack of rear shoulder belts). There really is no one good place for it in a 2002
