    we stay at the doubletree partially due to proximity to Ellys pancake house. Also consider the coffee and classics Sunday AM in Winnetka

    for restoration. paint, interior condition, and running gear not as important as restorability of body. midwest prefered but not critical. dmason2002athotmaildotcom

    if you don't find what you want, or even if you do, come to windy city bmw vintagefest 9/24 in Lincolnshire, there's always 02 stuff at the swap meet there.

    I think they're called Chapman struts, but they are pretty much a coil over.

    turn the ignition on, and the switch to high, check for 12v at the positive motor teminal and ground at the negative. Both wires go through the box at the resistor, depending on the year, the neg or pos lead goes through the resistor except on high speed. You can check voltage at the resistor connector without removing the box to know if the fuse/wires/switch are good to the box. Heat is probably important in duluth!

    1. Double clutch when shifting to second gear even with good synchros 2. check the mirror for trailing throttle overcast when engine braking 3. find the signal stalk is on the wrong side of the column in your d.d. 4. try to turn the vents over center on a hot day 5. find 4000 rpm normal at 72mph 6. pull the ebrake up a notch when the brake pedal travel seems long 7. depend on the trip odometer over the fuel guage 8. set the choke on cold starts even in fuel injected cars 9. go to rummage sales confident that anything you buy will fit in the trunk 10. can spot thumbs up from other drivers in your peripheral vision

    sounds more serious in german! Reminds me of a race in the 70s I worked at the Milwaukee Mile, a Pinto went through an unoccupied concession stand.

    part of the problem is the plastic ramps that determine the difference between the height of the panel when closed and when openedwear down, and the panels are adjusted higher, which means closer to the roof skin, when closed. this leaves the panel closer to th skin when opened too. the wedges were still available as of january.

    I'd have held out for 90 minute! Guard those injector tubes, some of the BMW replacements are black plastic and straight, look like ass!

    when I was young, if you asked me if it's ok to eat potato salad that sat all afternoon on a sunny pionic table, I'd say yeah, I do it all the time. You never know what you can get away with until you don't get away with it...
  24. Dave3x72tii
