  1. Go down to your local Mom & Pop muffler shop, and have them do the job. It will cost between $250-$300, an it will fit perfect with a guarantee. Use 2-1/4" tubing with one muffler in the back. The muffler shop will be able to recommend something that will be quiet and still sound good.....
  2. I gonna try and make it. Are there any drives scheduled around this event? Salute'
  3. I like front spoilers, I have a "Zender" now on my "75", no bumper. Back in 1985, I had a spoiler on my "73", I can't remember the Mfg. It was fiberglass, and came with a rubber lower lip. It hung down to low, ripped it off a couple of times, gave up on it. I do like the look of the "Zender", that’s the one that someone should be replicating. I got lucky and found a used one back in 2014, it ain’t perfect, but it looks good from 40-feet. It’s fiberglass, so it’s somewhat repairable. I did some reinforcing on the back side with some layers of glass a resin when I first got it.....
  4. I mostly drive the ole “Sh*t-box” during “Car Week”, but I do jump in my “02” for some fun.......
  5. Any "02" folk coming into town for "Car Week" not familiar with "Monterey County" back roads and looking to do some "Fun Runs", contact me at 831-262-2853, I'll keep y'all entertained ? Salute'
  6. The "Monterey Bay Area BMW 2002" group is trying to put together a drive South on Hwy 1, Let me know if that's something y'all may want to do. Trying to decide on Saturday July 28th, or Sunday the 29th. Thoughts? Salute'
  7. Go to your local BMW dealer
  8. I got around 14,000-miles on my giubo. I just picked one up from BMW this morning, it was over $140. That kinda sucks.....
  9. Mines 42 pounds at idle, about 74 pounds at 3000rpm when hot.
  10. North on Hwy 238, right on Niles Cyn, left on Palomares Rd, left on East Castro Valley Blvd. right on Crow Cyn Rd., left on Cull Cyn Rd,, left on Heyer Ave., right on Redwood Rd., right on Pinehurst Rd., right on Canyon Rd., Canyon Rd. turns into Moraga Rd.
  11. Gonna do a drive up to the BMWGGC "C&C" in Moraga this coming Sunday. Meet at the McDonald,s parking lot 42800 Mission Blvd, Fremont, CA 94539 at 8:am, leave at 8:20
  12. I bought my 1st "02" in 1982, I've always called it a "Beamer", "Bimmer" sounds lame......
  13. I've got a little over 209bhp, not cheap, but worth ever penny.... Better budget a bit more for your motor......
  14. My S14 crank weighed 44lbs. I had my brother weigh a E21 1.8L crank too, it was 28lbs
  15. How much weight did you end up removing from the crank?
  16. For the rear bar, measure from the back side of the sway bar link to the rear of the bar. For the front, put the links in the front hole.
  17. My brother took a wire wheel to the block, to get off all the old paint
  18. I would not use Fram. My brother has owned machine shop dating back to 1993, he said that they're junk.
  19. I'm using K&N oil filters, part number is "HP 1002" for my S14. You can put a 1" wrench on the end of it to back it off. Y'all will never have to use an oil filter spanner wrench to remove your filter.
