  1. A lot of questions about the manifold. It is NOT a Cannon. That is a factory 1972 mani that has been expertly modified to take the 32/36. It has been media blasted and is ready for paint or use as is. it is in very good condition. Manifold is SOLD
  2. What are the dimensions of these plates (between the mounting holes top to bottom and side to side)?
  3. Update: I found the other strut cap while packaging the struts so this is the complete kit. 2 struts, 2 self locking nuts and 2 strut caps.
  4. Standard oil flange sold Shift boot sold valve cover is sold I have another valve cover that has not been media blasted with the large "BMW" in the center.
  5. See something you need? Shoot me an offer. The parts are driver quality except the oil filter flanges...they're beautiful and they come with the gasket. The armrests are marine blu but the driver's side has a small discolored spot that looks reddish. hobibill AT gmail DOTCOM
  6. Same as many of you here; too much force plus too much fatigue equals aw shit moments. I was rushing the finish of a bumper tuck on my 74, trying to stabilize the bumper on the workstand with one hand and applying a lot of torque to the ratchet with the other while bolting the compressed shock back on. Too much wobbling led to the socket slipping off. My right fist flew across the exposed corner of the bumper end, those things are sharp. Cut the first knuckle of my index finger to the bone. On the way to the doc-in-a-box to have the gash welded back together I decided all they would do is clean the wound and tape or glue it back together. So I stopped at the drug store and bought all of the material to do the job myself. Genius me, I spent twice what the copay would have been.
  7. dang! i need those. second in line : )
  8. January 12, 2012 Test and Tune at the Little Talladega Gran Prix track. link: http://tgprace.com/ $50 deposit via PP at sign up and remainder due at the track. We have 8 slots available. Reply to hobibill AT gmail DOTCOM
  9. A set of four in way better condition was just offered for $375. http://www.bmw2002faq.com/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,50/page,viewtopic/t,366707/ You'd probably get $50 per wheel...maybe.
  10. These are new old stock BOGE Turbo TS strut inserts. Great for the purist. I have a pair of struts with original packaging but just one strut cap so you'll have to reuse one.
  11. Anybody do a black headliner? I finally found an installer I trust and he is reluctant to do the black headliner install. He has done them before and says it really makes the car dark and claustrophobic. I wanted to simplify things with the black headliner, black console and dash, with marine blue seats and door cards and blue and charcoal flecked carpet. Anybody have experience with this?
  12. Proper BMW raised letter roundels are available from your local BMW dealer, $45. Nice piece of kit for your car.
  13. I've got the same sypmtom with well adjusted valves and no apparent issues with the valve train. It is a definate "knock" which appears to eminate from the top front end. Engine runs sweet and smooth but burns a bit of oil on start up. The car is bedded down pending a head job and bottom end rebuild but I'm curious to hear what you find out. I'm doing the rebuild regardless but would like to know.
  14. No roll cage required. There is a downloadable self certified safety checklist and other requirements listed on the site link in my op.
  15. $100 per driver for the full track day at Little Talladega near Oxford Alabama. We need a few more drivers to make up the required numbers This is a Test and Tune event so, no agressive driving and we are limited to 5 on the track at once. Should be a ton of fun, let me know if you want to reserve a slot. http://tgprace.com/
  16. That's the setup I have. Here is the link I used to get those bushings: From the E28 535 STABILIZER RUBBER MOUNTING D=19MM part# 31351127390 $4.80
  17. Dan, I received the headgaskets, thanks. I hope things work out for you. Bill
  18. Nice talking to you Jason, I'll be over next Tuesday afternoon to take it off ur hands : )
