  1. Giving a simple and very positive shout out to the various folks that have supplied me with parts for decades now.  They're all different, none are perfect, their pricing is all different and none of that  matters. These shops have to work hard to stay in business.  They all deserve our continued support!  I salute them all: THANK YOU

     

    RogersTii - Roger has always delivered orders with speed to me for years now!  Am happy to spend with him ... can't wait to make another order

    Maximillian Paul - wonderful to deal with and always thoughtful in following up - I'd drink coffee with him

    Ireland - never fails to deliver the products they have

    Fairchild Industries - Robert does solid work as do all of the other injection specialists out in the wild!

    Blunt - well, because Blunt!  Great company - coffee someday

    Walloth - courteous and prompt delivery for being on the other side of the world!
    Jaymic - also well organized even if they speak funny English

    2K2 Parts - used parts from Bryce always as described - very knowledgeable

    2002Haus - gone but never forgotten, EVER!
    Tim Jason - jeez his stuff is nice - TimJasonPerformance.com

  2. I personally saw this car early last year after I bought some miscellaneous grills and bumper parts from the original owner.  This 'white' car was sitting under his carport.  At the time I wasn't in the market for another car but wandered over to have a look.  I really was amazed at how straight it was with no signs of nose damage, nose replacement or any panel replacement.  When I saw it, it was in 'white primer' but saw traces of the original Ceylon in the cabin and under the dash.  Was very surprised how the doors, trunk and hood opened with ease - no binding. The VIN matching block was present but out of the car.  Big project but  ...  if you've got a thing for Ceylon, this one might be worth looking at.

  3. Apples and uh, walnuts here.  The i3 does have utility, albeit at short distances, and as such is simply an 'appliance' as remarked.  The model 3 is a full blown supercar by any measure, and consumes no gas :)  Both vehicles cost a fair chunk of change and both have substantial insurance considerations.  For 50 miles one way or less with the ability to simply be charged at home, the i3 is reasonable. The model 3 is from a different paradigm -- the future!  Both super cool

    The bracket you're after is available easily from Blunttech:

    Rob Torres / 2002Haus is indeed the original craftsman of said bracket.  Pic below of Rob's original (bottom) and Blunttech copy (top).  Both will work just fine - currently I am using Rob's with my 235/5 - works perfect - no weird torsional problems - no trans falling out of car - no tearing up tunnel, etc, etc.  Plug and play, no cutting required

  5. Yes have been talking to Harry and he's attempting to get more pics ... structural, etc.  Not his car, I think, but hardly matters - nice guy.  Not opposed to a fixer at the right price.  Well acquainted with rust and don't care for it but maybe the above car never becomes restored and is kept (safely) as is.  Perfect would get my attention as well  ?  Thanks for chiming in

  6. Price: $100
    Location: Sacramento CA

  7. Am looking for a new right side door panel - Marine Blue/Black.  I could be tempted with a near perfect original example

  8. Ran these exact wheels, size, width, ET, etc for decades on my '72 2002tii with 185/70-13 Michelin tires.  They never rubbed or gave me trouble.  IIRC, that car was lowered about 1.5" front and rear.  We all rolled the fender lips, because that's what we did.  One of my co-workers ran 205's with rolled lips and we never talked about interference issues and we were pretty wild drivers back then :)
