  1. I have just been stationed in Sicily for two years. I am car hunting right and have ran across a 02. I have made an appointment to look at the car tomorrow and would like some input on major things to look for good or bad when asessing a 02. I have a 72 2002 back in the stats I am restoring now so I know how to work on it if needed but would like to have a pretty sound car to start with. Thanks for any input anyone might have. Cheers, Chris
  2. Well I am going to go with the electric choke. It just seems like less to deal with. The motor has been rebuilt back to stock specks. What would be the proper jetting for this carburator? This car has never ran as well as i thought it should even after the engine rebuild and it has alwyas seemed to be issues with the carb. Evert time we has issues like this with Triumphs the Weber swap was the first and only solution. Thanks for your input. Cheers Chris
  3. So I am studying this site thoroughly. My question is will the Weber 32/36 EC bolt up to the factory Intake Manifold with no or little modification, or do I need to get the after market manifold from IE. What are the advantages to having the Cannon Manifold over having the factory manifold? Also what are all of the modifications that need to be made to make the Weber switch. Thanks for all the info you all are posting on the forum. I am deployed overseas right now and when I get home I plan on doing a ground up restoration on my 72 2002 that I was given by my grandfather. Cheers, Chris
  4. Have you driven the car on thee interstate yet? I am very interested my e-mail is chattblacksmith@att.net
  5. I am from the hampton roads area. And would love to hook up with some 02 guys.
  6. Thank for the tip on the carpet. Lucky there is no rust in the floor pans.i have pulled out all of the interior and the sheet metal is perfect. The only rust in the car is a quarter size hole in the spare tire compartment. I have taken up all the tar sealer in the floor pans what should I put in its place?
  7. Hi All I am a new owner or a 1972 2002. this car is in ok shape it was given to me by my grandfather who can not work on it any more. It has a fresh engine rebuild but a carburated model not a ti. it needs new paint and interior i just finished rebiulding the brakes and was so much simpler than i thought it would be. I have never owned a bmw i have been a triumph man all of my life but so far i love this little car. the questions i have are. 1. The car has a bad sputter i tryed adjusting the carb and there are no adjustments on it. i want to put a webber on it anyway so it that a good call do these cars run better with a stock carb or a webber? 2. i want to modernize the car a little bit is there a llater modle 5 speed manual transmission that will bolt up to this car with minor modifications. 3.Interior i am having trouble finding parts sources on the internet. The car had a leaky windshield seal so the carpet is ruined were is a good place to get all interior parts such as carpet, door panels, head liner, and molding. 4. I have hated the front seats in that car since i was a child. is there a later modle front seat with foam padding (insted of horse hiar) that can be used in this car? Thanks for all of your help Chris
