  1. Wow…. Like Toby says, someone spent a lotta hours with a die grinder pretty badass, though. That plumbing and the port injection… crazy
  2. Barney and I have used this body caulk from Eastwood’s with good success. Eastwood Flexible Strip Caulk Bk 2-lbs WWW.EASTWOOD.COM Seal-out moisture, debris from irregularareas; non-hardening, paintable
  3. JimK is always so busy… Lets see the pedal you chose 😁 So, it talks to the Haltec, right? EdZ
  4. Also, a very good thread on setting the float level here; where I also posted the picture of the witness mark on the outside of the carb body. Ed
  5. Setting float level is key to any carb tuning, for sure. The PHH allows you to set the float level very easily at the fuel inlet. Others here have manufactured their own factory float setting jig, but that requires removal of the carbs. Essentially, the fuel level should be midway in the body of the carb, as seen in the second picture. There is actually a float level mark on the outside of the carb body, between the two throats.
  6. Mike, When I was putting my '67, 2000CS back together, I had to abandon the early pressure plate because the throwout bearing was NLA...apparently, it's been NLA for a long time, and I could not find one. I had a local machine shop re-work my 6 bolt flywheel to fit a modern diaphragm pressure plate. (I believe Byron and Toby both chimed in on my question at the time on what needed to be done.) The machinist had no troubles making it happen. Ed Ed
  7. We re-did the AC in my e8 ('88, 535i ) a few years ago; new Sanden, new condenser, etc... everything but the expansion valve, simply because it's so damned difficult to get to. Pretty sure I need to bite the bullet and pull the dash apart to replace that expansion valve... my AC is only slightly better than the 500lb block of ice... It doesn't help that it's a Schwarz/Schwarz car in central Texas... I think some modern, ceramic window tint would help more than anything. Ed Z
  8. I need to remember that line... hilarious
  9. Max has them on sale right now BMW 2002 ROCKER PANELS | MIC 41356440140, 41356440141 WWW.MAX2002STORE.COM These beautiful rocker panels are just the ticket for the all so common rust on a BMW 2002! Ed Z
  10. No sir... I ordered two different sizes from that British site you sent me to...neither size would fit Any help would be most appreciated, Ed Z
  11. Where are you located? I would call Jack Fahuna at Pro Bimmers, he’s in LaLaLand Ed Z
  12. Drove the Inka with Barney, Greg, David, and Terry up to Waco to meet up with a bunch of Dallas area BMW folks. Beautiful driving day… That CSL is so cool… 😎 Ed Z
  13. Sweet!! Spain should have some dry cars, at least. Hope this one is a good one for you! That exterior door handle is the same as the later e9, so you should be able to locate one without too much trouble. You should look over at e9coupe.com there are plenty of Coupe folks that can provide assistance; especially in Europe. Ed
  14. I run Solex PHHs on my 2000CS. They idle beautifully and no particular issues. I like that you can easily set the float level from the outside of the carb, for fine-tuning. Here’s the ‘67, 2000CS at idle…right around 950rpm 94B3AD7A-1277-4449-B3E3-CB3965228CD9.MOV I run Solex DDHs on my ‘71, 2002. Those have the jets on the top, like a Weber, but still have the throttle shafts with no bushings. I slap some axle grease on the shafts to help seal the slight vacuum leak. I run a sock style filter and they roar, nicely. Ed Z
  15. Looks like Florida to me Ed Z
  16. An incredible achievement, Steve. Thank you for everything you’ve done to make this happen. Ed Z
  17. I don’t understand this? I post from my iPhone all the time? Never been a problem for me. This picture taken with my iPhone, selected from my iPhone… Ed Z

    Guitars and Amps

    Luckiest day ever!!! Wow… The Vibratone is so flipping cool. 😎 I love of those! I just went to the Allen Amplification website you posted. His 10w Chihuahua amp looks a lot like the Tuxedo Princeton! Ed Z
  19. My '72 uses the WT3 for the trunk. Ed Z
  20. My present arrived today; found in a random estate auction. Metal, 1/18 scale Inka Euro Roundie Tii…not sure those are the Uber-rare slotted hub caps 😁 Merry Christmas everyone Ed Z
  21. Wow… that looks incredible Helluva nice job. Ed Z
