    If anyone has a set of the Anton brackets for the front bumper they'd like to sell then let me know. Yes, I know I can get a set from Anton, but figured someone might have a used set that they are not using. Location: San Jose

    I see the 1970 Chaparral 2J is on that list as well. That car is a beast in Gran Turismo.

    Looking for the inner trim that sits on the door card. It's part number 51216440182 aka Interior Right Front Molding. Location: San Jose, CA

    Congrats Dave. Car looks the business.

    Mine is in order, is color and is searchable. It's in PDF form. Not sure what BMW's stance on it would be. The other alternative is for me to send it to another site that has a bunch of old owner's manuals and we could just like to to the file on their site.

    That wouldn't work that well this week.

    Once I realized I had a chance at retrieving the arm I laughed pretty loudly in the car.

    For those of us that live in climates that don't get much rain I'd like to remind everyone to check their wiper arms. I had the pleasure of witnessing my passenger arm fly off this morning (luckily was able to retrieve it).

    Am I quoting myself? Yes, I am. A while back I did just this and since I've sold enough on eBay to cover my time invested I'll give them away to anyone who wants one now. Steve - Ideally if it could be hosted here that would be preferred.

    Seriously. 1 ad is all you need.

    That's the car that they were trying to sell on CL for $8K a while back. Somehow it's now worth $12k? http://www.bmw2002faq.com/topic/141782-1974-2002tii-rust-buy-or-stay-away/

    Is it carrying a coconut?

    Well done. Let us know when we can purchase them.

    If only that would work with a center exhaust...

    From my experience I have that little nozzle adaptor thingy from Chris (I think) and that works to allow me to put in fuel, but then the cut-off for the pump doesn't work in time. So, I always over estimate my mpg and associated fuel guesstimation, stop fuelling about .5 gallon prior then take out the adaptor and input the nozzle and pump slowly the last gallon or so then the pump cut-off will work. I have to angle the nozzle a bit oddly, but it works.

    Further update...did the euro vent and saw no noticeable change, so issue isn't vent related it appears. Also, change MJ to 135 and car pulls strong up to ~4K then I must lift and coax it to get to 6K, but then again sometimes I don't. I can't explain exactly how it behaves since it's very inconsistent. I have to do coax it to get it to rev hard when I stomp on it under lower revs (~2.5K), but other times not. It's to the point now that I can't help, but think that my root issue is not carb related. I suspect I have some other issue which is preventing me from being able to stomp on the gas and expect it to rev up through 'til redline with any consistency. If this car were just a street car then I'd be just slightly annoyed, but since this car was bought as a quasi-replacement for my track bike it's beyond irritating. The way it is now there's no way I could take this car to the track.

    Further update...I suspect I have a multitude of issues, but my most pressing that I'd like to sort now is the venting. My '74 still has the stock setup from the expansion tank to the engine bay (charcoal canister removed), but I think that the line isn't flowing that well and may actually be broken somewhere in the cabin. The easy solution I've found is to run some sort of 'euro vent' via the trunk and bypass the tank for now. I plan to find a universal charcoal canister (I'm open to suggestions as to which one) and run through the expansion tank once I've proved that venting directly via the euro way solves some of my issues. Also, after some research I've decided to move the idle jets up to 60. I'm still on 145 mains and the car seems to be running pretty rich based on it's "bucking" at times, which is oddly worse with more gas than less. Some of the posts I've read about the jetting being somewhere in the 135 range when running idle jets as large as 60. So, plan is to do euro vent tonight and see how that is and then move main jets to 135. With that said, my last 215 miles on the car with 145 main jets got me a good 24mpg (per odometer), which is better than I've ever gotten with the 32/36 prior. So, seems to be going on the right track...

    Well done, sir. Well done.
  21. Cru Jones
    C'mon! What do you expect of a $13K '02? A working trunk lock?
  22. Cru Jones
    Loved that game!

    Marshall did a really nice write up on this a month ago. http://www.bmw2002faq.com/_/technical-articles/engine-and-drivetrain/how-to-replace-a-differential-r119

    I saw that car yesterday and had the same "WTF" reaction. He's been hanging around with Tyrone a bit too much I suspect.

    Ah, si! I see what link I have to use. Tricky. Thanks Steve.
