    Hello, I am in need of a front and rear wiring harness for my '71 2002. Please let me know if you have one available. Thanks, Rob

    Hey John, I'd love to build a rally car with you. When I was an ambitious kid, I built up a celica all-trac and tore around the fire roads through Angeles and somehow am still alive to talk about it. I even got to attend a rally school in England. An Escort Cosworth remains one of the most fun cars I have ever had the pleasure of thrashing. I haven't had the time to do much in the last ten years but now that the kids are no longer babies, I'm itching to have some motorsport fun and rally is the most fun of all. Shoot me an email at rob at hksupplyco dot com

    I've also considered this option. I know that fiberglass dashes are made for e30s and I considered cutting one up to fit in the 2002. If you or anyone ends up making one for the 02, put me on the list to buy one!

    I need a 5-speed from a euro 323i for my m20 swap. Anyone have one that they're not going to use or willing to part with? Thanks, Rob rob at hkarchitecturalsupply dot com

    You might consider switching to the larger tii m/c.

    I'm looking for a matching set of door handles with key (and ignition if you happen to have all three) for my '71 2002. My passenger handle is keyed different than my driver and the cylinder in my driver handle just snapped in half and fell out last night!! email me at rob at hkarchitecturalsupply dot com Thanks!

    I went to the Home Depot Center and watched the Rally racing there. I've been a rally motorsport enthusiast since the early 90's and although this is not "real" rally racing, it will bring more interest to the sport. More interest means more manufacturer and sponsor $ and support and this will definitely help rally grow to the potential I see it having in the US. That ultimately means more fun cars and parts for us. Those "tattooed punks" typically drive around in overly lifted 4x4 trucks that are becoming overly expensive to own with our weakening dollar and cost of gas. There will be a shift to subarus and the like if they can still take 'em off-road, jump them, get 20mpg, and be considered "cool". Subaru invested a lot of money in sponsoring the X-games and marketing toward this crowd. All of the contestants in the rally were driving subarus except the one Mitsu Evo that flipped. Even though some of these kids don't have the outward appearance of Colin McRae or Carlos Sainz that you may associate with "Rally Racer", most of them hold the top spots in Rally America point standings.

    I just did this without removing the trailing arms. I swapped all rear bushings by removing the nuts on the subframe bushings and rear differential carrier and lowering the subframe and trailing arms just enough to access the bushings. It'd definitely be easier to do if you remove the subframe but I didn't want to disconnect the drive shaft. I used a 12" piece of 3/8" all thread and some appropriately sized washers with an impact driver to drive the old bushings out. I used a 1-1/4" socket as my spacer and they came out quick and clean. I replaced all bushings with urethane ones, which install easily.

    Hey all, I'm looking for a dashboard and gauge cluster in decent to good condition. Let me know if you have either or both that you'd part with and how much you are asking. Thanks! email: rob at hkarchitecturalsupply dot com

    Hello everybody! Just wanted to introduce myself... I'm a proud new owner of a '71 2002. I purchased this car from a member of the site. I look forward to gaining a lot of knowledge here and hopefully adding a little myself. The car is in good shape and I have lofty plans for restoration and preparing it for track days!
