nope .

Also, you're only supposed to use it on a vac line that reaches all 4 cylinders.. I'm not an expert but looking over the diagram here I'm not sure that any of them fit the bill.

Seafoam removes carbon from the engine. If it's been sitting for 5 years you need to bring it back to life very slowly - drive it for a month until all the seals refresh, change out the fluids, etc. De-carb is probably the least of your problems. It'll be better to do it after it settles back in and the fuel mixtures settle down and etc.

I just bought a tii that'd been sitting for 4 years. The difference in the way the engine responds now to when I got it is very noticeable.

And even then, I'd never do that to a tii. Youtube for why.

if lilmo doesn't pay up, i'm your man.

thanks!

Mine disintegrated. Any ideas? 74 tii.

that's amazing.

Let's talk about that cupholder.. Where do I get one?

which was really surreal as i was also driving one. gotta be someone from the board.

you are a stop-sign rollin' mofo.

cool vid.

eBay has several options like price research and completed listings that tell a better story. If you do completed listings for 2002's you come up with only 9 of 21 sales being completed with the others failing to sell 'Reserve not met' or 'Best offer' not accepted. Highest price paid for any 2002 was $10,099 for 1974 tii. Next highest was an M20 conversion at $8,000. All other prices were below $6,000 with the bottom $749.

there are 2 more that got bid up to 20k and didn't meet reserve. are you calling shenanigans?

SJ pickypulls are usually full of them. Moss Landing also has a huge PnP (I've never been, just see the inventory). There's an '85 318i on Commercial street.

Also always a couple on CL.

I like the plates, not convinced on the color scheme. Looks like more of a $3000 car to me, depending on how long that "complete list of issue he's aware of" is.

$39k on CL (good luck), $20k reserve not met on ebay. Am I imagining things or has the price essentially doubled or more in the last year?

That's hilarious. Good luck.

Hm.. how's the performance / what's the rough BHP?

that's fantastic!

Looking at that build list, the dude probably has $45k in credit cards he needs to make a dent in.

I'll be there... in my e30 if that's okay.

Matt

marginal..

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

Anyone in for an informal meet and greet at Cambrian Park this weekend in San Jose? Tentative plan is 1pm Saturday under the carousel, corner of Union and Camden.

All righty.. let's plan on Sat Jun 2 in Cambrian Plaza under the carousel sign? Say 1pm? It's the corner of Union and Camden.

seems like a quick look with an infrared thermometer would help answer the Q. they're about $20.

Anyone interested in a meetup at the Cambrian Park Plaza this weekend or next?

I'm also neighbors with Bob - I live across from Cambrian Park on the San Jose / Los Gatos / Campbell border. I'm sure I'll see you both as we frequent Saratoga and Los Gatos.

I just went to add my 74tii in the registry and found out someone had it registered previously. It's been in storage in Santa Rosa since '08 and I purchased it from Good Stuff auto about 2 weeks ago. I understand it was originally from Truckee, CA - which might explain the very thorough undercoating job.

Anyone have any other info on it?

My neighbor has a white 74/5/6 2002 sitting collecting rot. If anyone's interested I could knock on the door and see what the status is.

Thanks,

Thanks, Mike! Neither of those would lead to the crunchy shifting, right? Sounds like I need to just take it somewhere and get the tranny looked at?

On that topic, does anyone ever drop an automatic in these, and will the usual 320i gear bolt up? I have a bad left knee, so commuting in traffic is a killer.
