  8. LOL- I sold that spoiler to Paul about 10 years ago from my TOTALLY RUSTED OUT 2800cs parts car. I have to smile every time I see that car in magazines. Though it's not your color, here's my recently purchased $800 straight & solid semi-daily driver with a Schnitzer trunk spoiler.
  9. Have u checked the micro filter on the carb? it's inside the 17mm brass plug @ fuel inlet.
  10. here's a nice candidate in portland, or. not mine... just stumled upon it. http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/1278292996.html
  11. http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/1278292996.html not mine, no affiliation, yada-yada. just puttin' it out there.
  12. Thanks for the replies gentlemen. Mike in NC is my new role model!!! Incredible. Well executed. I am awestruck by your work. Truly inspirational. Thanks for sharing your craftsmanship with me. My Alpine, though pretty rare, is no great gem that would be mourned over if a conversion was done. They can be easily found/bought for under $1,000. I got mine nearly 20 years ago for $500. I picked it up because it was a solid runner and I loved the styling. The series 1 & 2 have the big rear fins. Don't drive it too much, Seattle weather gets wet occasionally, and it's motor is tired. It's come down to the 'throw good money after bad' theory. The good/best part of the Alpine, IMHO, is the body styling. The bad is the drivetrain. I'm after a streetable, and easily maintained by me, upgrde. It has a not original 1792cc engine now, pumping out about 72HP. Holbay mods are $$$$, (the Alpina of Great Britain), and any engine upgrade to the existing would surely require tranny mods for the added hp. (The diff on a Sunbeam is very robust, though, and can easily handle the added torque). I have seen the Ford v6 swaps, nice work done by many, but at the end of the day it will still have a ford capri engine in it, and i've no interest in stuffing a 260 or 289 in it. Tigers are great, but I think the work and cost involved with that transplant would not make fiscal sense, might as well buy the real thing at that point. I do have a spare '02 drivetrain in the garage, I am familiar with them, have extra parts, 99% of the engine parts are easily obtained and reasonably priced, and I think it would create a nicely balanced performer, kind of a retro Z3. It's basically my labor & ingenuity versus a bank account draining transplant. Thanks again for this, and any future input. There'll be many questions to come (mike in NC get ready!) if this happens. I'll keep the board posted it I do travel this path. definitely a long/involved project so I'll need to free up the next 2 years of evenings and weekends first. Thanks again! -steve
  13. Hello All- Looking for more oomph outta the old british roadster, I'm thinking my solution may be swapping in a 2002 motor/trans. I've thought about this swap off & on for a few years. -Almost double the HP. -Parts availability is far greater. -Engine/trans reliability & performance upside. -Not tons of fab needed. (i'm hoping) I researched online and found bimmers with other powerplants installed, but nothing on a BMW engine swapped into another vehicle. (Which I find surprising, as the 4 cyl & 6 cyl bmw engines, as we all know, are some of the finest engines ever created) Any input? Anyone here ever put a bmw engine into another car? Thanks guys!
  14. Hey Cole, Very nice ride! Trying to figure out where this is... Madison Park area? I'm in Sammamish, WA. Golf much? always looking for a 4th.
  15. Congrats Victor!!! (one down... one to go?) You look very handsome (and proud) . I like the vest! Great shots with the bimmers. LOVE IT. But..... we gotta see the bride!!! Best wishes to your son as he enters manhood. May your family and the newlyweds be blessed with enduring love, health and happiness.
  16. Thanks Barry- I stumbled upon a thread with pics in which one of the members here stacked the bumpers from a 320i and an '02 and discovered they are remarkably similar is shape and dimension. What was indicated was that the shock mounts were off a bit between to two. Although I've considered the early bumper swap, (& I hope I am not flamed too much for this next statement)...... I really don't think they look correct on the square light models, I'm referring primarily to the to the rear bumper here. The roundies look classic/old, the squaries, imho, have a more contemporary and up-to-date look. I'd like to retain the more advanced design treatment of the rear, plus retain some sort of actual integrated shock/bumper protection that won't be overly victimized by mini-van parking soccer moms, without having to do the amount of bodywork involved in the early bumper swap. I greatly appreciate your offer to take some measurements for me. post 'em here when you're able. Thanks! Steve
  17. So what to do with the big bumpers to give it 'the look'. I posted the thread on trimming/ripping down the big dogs to 2" prior to shortening the shocks. Now I'm off on another tangent.... too much garage time with a good Shiraz will do this! How about swapping out the euro e21 bumpers? (rest assured 'ought2', I searched for over 4 hours before posting this query). has this been done/tried/seen? I think this may be a great route to go. Thinner & narrower. the cool wrap around on the sides, and they're chrome too. Plus, already tucked tight to the body. So, any input /thoughts on this? I've discovered threads that discuss the similarities between the two, but nothing definitive about the swapability of the two model's bumpers. i'm thinking that, at worst, some relocation of mounts may be required. Also, that this swap may still provide some rebound/bumper action, as opposed to the drilled shock or TEP conversion which eliminates the 'bumper' effect that is aided by actual shock absorbers. Anyone know if the e21 euro bumper shocks fit an '02 Thoughts/input welcome. Rip down the existing bumpers, or buy a set of e21 euro bumpers and see if I can make 'em fit. Or, should I step away from the hooka & stick with the benches and just do the shorten the shocks routine? Thanks! -steve
  18. Thanks John! That is exactly what I propose to do. Thanks for the pics. After researching further, & using the search here, I found a thread re 320i bumpers. I wonder if the Euro e21 can be made to fit. They are thin and narrow, this may be the look I want. Plus, I may be able to utilize the shocks on those for 'some' protection/rebound at least. Anyone done an e21 euro bumper swap on a 2002?
  19. Thanks Ahlem- I know with aluminum that slow speed is best, so it 'peels' away. My first impulse was a router, but way too fast for this I think. I'm tempted to try my cordless circular saw, rpm's are a lot lower than a worm-drive skilsaw, and make several passes. I'm not too concerned with oxidization, (should I be?) as it'll be just the rear edges that will be newly exposed material. Is there a 'home treatment' to apply to fresh aluminum that will seal it? I think you have a grasp of what I'm proposing to do here, any thoughts on type of blade, (carbide tipped, or composite, or...) that you'd recommend? any toughts on best rpm range for cutting the material? what about using a router, whaddya think on that? Thanks much! steve
