    Nice enough 02, but personally, I think the price is a bit energetic.
  2. bmdubl02
    Absolutely agree!!

    Where does one get a new door? I have a friend that is having trouble locating one.

    Congrats. This is a great forum, lots of excellent knowledge and stand up people…Welcome.

    Thanks for that!

    Congratulations on an excellent career and making it to the finish line safely…..I retired from the Fire Service nearly a year ago and things are finally getting done around here, and on the tii. Don't know how I got anything done when I had to go to work...

    Wonder if Hagerty will insure it for 75K if sold at that price..

    I do agree with you… However (my experience here..), one may have a very sound tii, and advertise it for a fair price,not misrepresent the car, price it fairly (within the "going rate" of said car's condition) and find it very difficult to sell……..seems that people expect every forty year old tii to be in concourse shape, and if it has a minor flaw or two the deal is off……we're talking about tii's priced in the mid teens (8 outta ten) and prospective buyers are expecting them to be 10 outta 10, which would fetch mid ($) twenties. Those mid to upper teen priced tii's seem difficult to sell.

    Wellllll…………This is MY opinion, honest and respectable. While very aesthetically pleasing, the only use for a rack on my 02 would be for a bicycle….And my Thule does that for half the price. I don't want to put luggage on top of my 02…….I'll use my pickup truck or my Japanese import for that…..and the 02 has enough trunk space for anything I need to bring on a trip. Your rack looks very well constructed, but you asked.

    How do rotors (especially stock) hold up to these uber pads?

    Hagerty rates are very reasonable IMO..

    Interesting. My 02 is not my daily driver, that chore is split between a 98 Lexus ES300 and a GMC 1500 pick up. When I do drive my 02 I don't notice people driving any closer/aggressively near it than my other vehicles…. Maybe the drivers have less wine in their systems here in Walnut Creek than in Napa? Seriously, interesting observation……

    Here's what I think..(and I do agree with you) Probably a nice handling mobile with all the things that new modern cars have, such as my wife's Lexus. Nice but boring. Not at all like an 02…..But what young person would buy one? BMW is in the business to sell cars that are trick, have creature comforts et cetera, and market most of their cars to 30 somethings. 30 somethings are not gonna be into the seventies 2002. How many of that generation have changed a spark plug?

    Here's my set up. I can fit what I need in here including my road or mountain bike. Like mlcrum I added the battery shut off switch to keep the honest folks from taking it....Added a hot wire to the radio so I don't loose the momory.

    I think the seller is vying for another "Best of Craigslist" post..

    I'd empty the oil (hey - now is time for a change, RIGHT?!?) and see if you're worst fear is realized….Hopefully just condensation at the tube bend point. Just to be brutally honest however, I have never seen any white stuff in my oil ever..

    You need to pry off the center plastic cap on the door vent knob. I had to use an awl and peel it off….then you will see a large phillips screw that holds it in place. Be careful to do as little damage as of course you'll want to re use the center cap.

    As much as we are enjoying the weather here in Northern Cal, please send some of that snow n rain down our way….

    That looks like an old Chevy Corvan….powered by the same engine that Corvairs used. 60's vintage.

    Well worth it to have a right side convex mirror. I added mine 15 plus years ago ( way less $$) and would do the same today if I had to for the going price. Try driving these days without one..

    Youngsters, all of you.

    With all due respect to Esty - This thread was KEY to my carpet installation. I had to make some custom cuts, but no big deal. I did use more glue than I thought I would, and it took way more time than I originally thought…..But (for me) that's typical. The results are night n day better than what I replaced.

    Esty does, I recently put one of her kits in my 73. If I can figure out how to post a pic here I'll show off my (and her) work..

    My guess is that it's a grounding problem. The fact that it fires quickly when pushed points in that direction. I had the same problem a few years ago.
