I'm very happy with the mirrors I got from you- Thanks!

Congratulations and welcome to the family! Also, to second some others here, be sure to keep a project blog!

Edmunds has a 1985 Porsche 911 as part of their long-term fleet. In one of their recent blog entries, they take the car to Pebble Beach. The author describes running with a Turbo in the Santa Barbara area.

What's your opinion on the interior space of the 1-series? I test drove both the NA and the turbo (not that that makes a difference to interior space) and found the car to be amazingly "cozy" inside.

That being said, both were tremendously fun. The 135i had amounts of power approaching unusable levels, the 128i had the classic linear I6 response.

Whether you get braided or not, replace them. Twenty years is an awfully long time for rubber, under any conditions, to sit.

They have character. Keep 'em!

Wow. You've made my day!

Hemmings blog posted that Automodello is running a contest where, in return for suggesting what car they should produce models of next, you enter to win a Griffith Series 200 model.

I think that if we flood them with 2002 requests, we might be able to get one produced. E-mail suggestions to: HemmingsTribute200@Automodello.com.

I'd love to see one made in taiga green...

The one in my 73 does it as well. I cleaned everything up and put in a higher quality ground on the IP, but it didn't solve the problem. Maybe the issue is on the coil side?

Great video, I learned quite a bit!

Now I also have the urge to slap a bumper sticker on the car proclaiming I'm not a German terrorist from the 1970s...

I was thinking the same thing... I have the wheel and need the shift knob!

What's interesting to me is that the Civic, which is supposed to be as small of a car as is acceptable, is completely filling the lane while the 02 looks like it it taking up maybe 2/3rds at best.

If it isn't an automatic radiator, and you don't mind going to janky-engineering route, you can add an axillary oil cooler to handle the transmission cooling functions. I've done it before; it is not pretty but it works.

She does about 12 miles per day weekdays (unless the roads are wet/salty, in which case I don't feel the need to tempt rust demons further), and at least one good back road run over the weekend.

I discovered them on Spotify this morning. I like them a lot more now. :-)
