  1. Are there benefits to converting to an electric fuel pump?
  2. SO I purchased a Pierberg mechanical fuel pump to replace the one I have in the car. Turns out the base of the one in the car is a little taller than the Pierberg so the new one pushed against the radiator hoses that are behind it. This is the new one and all of the websites selling them sell the same one. The one that is in the car has a removable top with a mesh screen that can be cleaned out. Any thoughts on where i can get a taller one? Or should I just go with an electric fuel pump from Ireland Engineering? Thank you.
  3. 1976 2002. This is a longshot, but this is the right place to ask. SO I have a rattle sound coming from the glovebox which occurs every time I hit a bump. Sounds like the hood latch is loose or something, but I checked all that, replaced any paddling that was there, went through the suspension to make sure everything was tight, checked the shocks of course, cant find the noise and it is driving me crazy. It is very pronounced but only when I hit a bump. It sounds like metal on metal and appears to be coming from the right front end, somewhere behind the glove box area. Any suggestions would be very welcomed. Thank you.
  4. I have a 1974 2002 that the previous owner stiffened up the ride and lowered the car a little. I think it looks great but just to harsh of a ride. Where can I purchase a softer spring/shock combination and what should I buy? Thank you
  5. Will an E30 Getrag 240 5 speed work for a 2002 conversion? Thank you
  6. Looking at some E30 Style 5 Wheels for my 74 2002, will they work? Description says "Set of 4 oem style 5 basket weaves with original metal bbs center caps 14x6" . Will that work and is $400 for a set of 4 reasonable? No tires. Thank you all.
  7. Thanks all, really appreciate the input.
  8. I have some ugly wheels on my 74 2002 that I want to swap out. I saw bottlecap wheels with the following description on Ebay, does anyone know if they fit? "4 x OEM BMW E30 14" Bottlecap Rims Wheels 4x100 84-91 318i 325e 325i 325ix" Also, any recommendations on where to find wheels if not Ebay? Thanks all
  9. Hi all, I have a 74 US spec 2002 with some rear seats that have been replaced, I want to order some new vinyl but am not sure of what patter is appropriate. Can't find any verifying picks. Any help you have would be apreciated. Thnaks. CB
  10. Hi all, I have a 74 2002 with front seats that are visually in excellent shape but the backs have a lot of "slop". When your sitting, the back has a lot of back and forth movement. The mechanics must be worn or loose. Does anyone have any experience of resources I can leverage. I cant even find a parts diagram for those seats. Any help is appreciated. Thank you
  11. So, I have a spare 1973 engine that I am thinking about rebuilding as a winter project. My goal is to rebuild it with better than factory performance; I understand the mechanical principals of the engine but have never rebuild one. Can anyone recommend any books or reference material that will how too and torque specification information. Since I have never done this before I am concerned I will miss the finer details that are so important. Thank you.
  12. How much would shipping be to Boston Massachusetts USA? Thank you.
  13. Hi... I just sent him a message. I checked shipping for a 12x12x12 box and assuming 5lb weight and to his zip code it was $22 bucks. If I don't hear back by EOD, do you want it at that cost?
  14. I have an early 70s back seat that I hope someone can use. I was going to put this in the car but then did a swap with a local person and was able to get a seat in better condition so I still have this. The vinyl is in good shape and will clean up nicely but the bottom seat needs to be re-stuffed. I am hoping someone can use it and want to let this go for short money. If you just need the vinyl, let me know and I will pull it off the frame. I think shipping via Grey Hound s around $100 with the frame. Hopefully someone in the local area can use it so let me know and we can work something out.
  15. This guy is a scammer, plain and simple!
  16. I can pick up the bumper if you give me a weekend time or evening time
  17. Harry, I’ve been trying to contact you for bumpers. I want a set of bumpers and I will take the dash pad if it’s abailable. I live in mass and can pick up. Please reply. Thank you
  18. I have a set of Flo-fit seats in black cloth. I also have the mounting brackets. I had them in my 74 and just swapped them out for some period correct seats. They are in very good shape. I would prefer a local pickup but I do know that they can be shipped via Greyhound for about $150 to just about anywhere in the country. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.
  19. I hope you do but I hope no one in this community spends another penny with this dirt bag. I can’t belive how many people have been impacted
  20. He out right lied to me.... telling me, and other he shipped items when he didn’t!!! Count provide a receipt either. good luck to all those waiting but I wouldn’t give him a dime going forward. He is a scammer!
  21. It 73Tiii - Seteven Campo. I am sorry I cause any confusion but man, it's amazing how many people this dirt bag has impacted!!
