  1. A meet up would be great now that the weather is awesome.
  2. I am in PHX/Scottsdale. Now that the weather will be cooling off we should arrange a drive!
  3. NM/NA...would be happy to take a look at it for anyone interested. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/2920611713.html
  4. Kris, do you have any additional photos of your Sahara with the gold BBS inserts? I have the same color and same wheels but with silver inserts and have considered painting them gold, just have not done it. Any photos would be appreciated! Thanks, Lach
  5. I am also in PHX and interested in the front and rear bumpers, as well as the hub caps...
  6. Here is my 75 with the IE air dam. Fitment and quality are very good. Hope this helps!
  7. Awesome advice, thank you! I will update the thread on my progress...
  8. Hi All, Need a little help, and I have searched but not coming up with good results. I have had my new BMW factory engine for about 800 miles now, and am starting to stretch its legs a bit. Unfortunately, the car still seems to run out of steam around 4500 rpm. I have checked the Weber 32/36 carburetor, and both the main and secondary valve are opening, but the secondary seems to be coming on at the very tail end of the pedal travel, is this normal? I have a pertronix unit, with a 6A MSD ignition. The car otherwise is running great, nice and smooth...just a little disappointed with the acceleration. Am I expecting too much, or should the car spin up the rpms with no problem? Thanks in advance for any advice. Bob
  9. Should I replace them? The ride is a little bounce with more and more rubbing up front. PO installed them about 10 years ago...are they at end of life? Any good way to test? Thanks in advance! Lach
  10. Yes (I think) Sahara... My car looked exactly like yours when I first got it!
  11. Thought I would post some photos from a car show this weekend. Finished installing the BMW factory fresh M10 last Saturday and immediately proceeded to put on 150 gentle miles over the weekend. Feels great to have Gracie up and running again! Thanks for everyone's help.
  12. Quick and simple answer, thanks!!
  13. Anyone have experience with this size? I am running sport springs and sport Billie shocks. Thanks in advance!!
  14. Any idea if they would fit without modification to the stockmfenders??
  15. If I go the tii route, are there any other considerations I need to take into account? Will my 32/36 weber be ok on this block and head? Thanks again for the help!
  16. Thanks. Just so I understand, BMW PN 11001261408 is what you defined as 'long block' correct? I did a search on the FAQ and from what I could find, that is the case...can anyone confirm that? Thanks again for everyone's help!
  17. Yes, but as I was on the phone with them the number increased quickly...new clutch, lightened flywheel, etc. I am looking for more reliability and drivability then performance at this point...
  18. Thanks for all the advice everyone! It is not the original block in the car now, so I am not too attached to it. The only thing I am debating is whether or not I want something with a little more performance out of the box.
  19. Great advice, thanks Jack. I appreciate the information.
  20. Wow, I was not aware of that. Certainly makes going the BMW route make more sense.
  21. I am in Cave Creek but my 02 is in need of a new engine at the present time. There are not many around these parts...
