    Thank you Steve, learn something new everyday. Or at least I try to!

    Other than the missing VIN tag on the steering wheel column cover, it appears the small 9 pin electrical connector (I forget what it was originally designed to do) under the hood, at left of the air intake and directly in front of the cowl on driver's side, has been over-sprayed in Inka orange. Or else it has an orange cover on it???. On my 73 tii it is definitely not painted, nor does it have a cover. Then again, maybe it is supposed to have a cover? Not sure. This is nit picky stuff, but it does beg the question about under hood painting, especially since there is zero visual evidence of the padding. Either way, this appears to be a sweet tii in a very popular color. But I think the seller may be stretching the definition of "original paint survivor" just a bit...

    I've got it on the calendar!

    Hi James, Go to a junk yard and cut off the filler neck (about 12 inches) from a more modern BMW, with the part the cap would screw onto, and use that as a filler. I slide it into my 02's existing gas tank filler hole and no problems with gas leaking out around the filler. Be aware that the gas will not automatically shut off using this method. You have to know approx how much gas you need and then listen for the gas getting close to full. Greg

    This car sold through a Bring A Trailer auction last year for $20K. Details here: http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-bmw-2000-touring-tii/ This tii did not have a numbers matching motor, but appeared to be a very nice car with minimal needs. I'm really surprised to see it sell less than a year later, but maybe the new owner was able to flip it for close to the $35K asking price on ebay. That'd be a quick and tidy profit.

    Here's a little info from when the seller first obtained the car. And yes, it was originally a Golf Yellow car. Glad to see the engine swap never took place! http://www.bmw2002faq.com/topic/148675-introduction-and-diy-repair-shop/

    Yes, it was a great (hot!) day, but the people were cool and the cars were plenty. Thank you Tim Corley for hosting and showing us your property and awesome barn/workshop! I left with many ideas about building my own barn. If not for the heat and my melting wife I probably would have overstayed my welcome hanging out with you all. Till the next event! Cheers, Greg Fazzio

    Hi All, My son is looking at buying an older Mini Cooper in Puyallup and I'm hoping you can refer me to a reputable wrench who can do an inspection of the car if we move forward. I know it's not a 2002, but still hoping you can help. Everybody I trust to inspect a car is on the north end. Thanks in advance and stay cool! Greg F

    My wife and I will be there.

    Hi All, This will mainly apply to folks on the west coast and Pacific Northwest/BC, but I thought I'd post here to reach the largest number of eyes. I attended the SOVREN vintage races at Pacific Raceways in Kent, WA on July 4th and learned a few things that I thought I'd pass on. Since its inception, SOVREN (Society of Vintage Racing Enthusiasts) has allowed vintage purpose built race cars and cars like Corvettes, Porsches, Ferraris, and BMW's and others prepped for racing only if they were model year 1972 or older. Many SOVREN members are getting older and leaving racing. This has led to diminishing membership. The good news is that the Board recognizes the inherent challenges of staying relevant when we're talking about vintage racing and has decided to allow period correct production cars up to 1985 and purpose built race cars built prior to 1989. This opens up the option for vinatge racing to a whole new generation of racers and cars! When speaking with people at the track it became apparent that the model year change was not widely known. Please pass this info along and encourage to interested parties to contact SOVREN directly for more info. Website link attached. http://sovrenracing.org/ Thanks, Greg Fazzio

    Has this gathering been advertised anywhere else? It looks like Tim has plenty of space for a big turnout should that happen. I'm planning to be there. Let me know what we can bring! Thanks for organizing this. Greg

    I've got it on the calendar! Should we plan to bring food? Greg
  17. GregF
    It would be great to get a whole bunch of 02's out there to take over the place !

    Has anybody ever used Seafoam to help with the modern gas issues? This was recommended to me for my hot rod. I've not used it in my 02tii yet. Thanks!

    @bahlvin: Did you buy the EF33 or the EF33H from memotronics? was it as simple as just plugging in to replace the old relay? Thank you, Greg

    My wife and I did a Porsche tour last summer that took us up to Bellingham by way of some crazy backroads that I never would have found on my own unless I was lost. I'll try to dig that route sheet up and see if there's any interest. It was a great route that took us through Bow and Edison and even a stop at a working dairy to buy cheese. We ended the drive at the harbor in Bellingham and had lunch at a nice restaurant overlooking the boats. I think it was an Italian place and they reserved the patio for us. Great day and great roads and even though I've done it once I honestly don't know if I'd be comfortable leading. Even with the route sheet I'll probably still get lost! Lucky my navigator has a waaay better sense of direction than me!

    Woodinvillian here! Yes to the topic of a meet up and cruise. My wife keeps bugging me about any get togethers - now that's a good problem to have . The Porsche club seems to have many more organized drives, though they are a much larger group. Regarding the roads out this way, we have many sweet driving roads. We'll often head out Woodinville-Duvall Rd. east, into Duvall and from there towards Carnation, Snoqualmie or the other direction toward Cherry Valley Rd. We can even do backroads to Snohomish and through the valley. There are several places to stop for lunch if we want to do a drive/lunch event. Bento, those are some sharp wheels ya got there and the car sounds like it's coming along nicely. I'm glad you found Patrick. We 02 owners in the Puget Sound area are lucky to have him to call on for help. I'm happy to help plan a drive and the weather is certainly giving us a reason to get out there! Cheers, Greg F

    Call Jeff Langford, 425-879-4328. He's been doing my door dings for several years now and he used to do all of Sandberg NW Volvo's cars until they hired a new GM. Great guy and he's very talented - got a ding out of my 911 SC that was near impossible. Tell him Greg Fazzio referred you. Cheers!

    Right on! I thought I recognized those turbo style wheels. I couldn't imagine there are too many red 02 Tourings in the hood. Although, having said that, I do know of another not more than a mile from me.... Hope to see you on the 18th
  25. GregF
    Hey Riley, Did you buy the touring from a guy in Edmonds? I cruised into the Edmonds car show a few weeks ago and what appears to be your car car pulled in right behind my Atlantik Blue tii. I chatted with the guy while we waited in line. Looked like a pretty clean car. I will try to make the 18th if the weather is cooperative. Greg
