  1. thank you very much! That’s super helpful and also easy to understand haha happy 4th!
  2. I will take a look more closely at what the black stuff is as I myself have no idea what it is. I am finally getting time to work on the car so I appreciate everyone helping with this! I think my vacuum lines are kind of wanky since my it looks like from the charcoal filter the line is capped and then there is a yellow line that goes from the manifold to the manifold which seems a little odd. I will take a look at the return line and see as I’m not sure. But I’m not sure why one would want to cap it off it appears to cause more harm than good.
  3. Looks like I have the wrong distributor cap. Correct me if I’m wrong?
  4. That is pretty much exactly what is going on with me but it was never like this for the first three years I had it and once it starts, it’s great. Now I just don’t know if I park somewhere, if I’ll make it home haha. But yes manual choke on a 32/36
  5. so the cap that I had pictured is that correct or incorrect? It was the cap I had since I got the car but first time someone told me it was the wrong one.
  6. Maybe someone can help me out as to where to get started. So I ended up having someone check out my car just to get it a look over and at the time I thought it was having a little misfiring but not always. When I had my car looked at one vacuum line ripped and the car started running even worse and couldn’t even idle. So it was some how plugged and then the gentleman said he was going to adjust my carb a little. Since adjusting it and I ended up driving an hour home and the car appeared to run great. However now the car has trouble starting. If the car hasn’t been started for a few days it takes a bunch of cranks and it requires the choke to be completely pulled out to start. But again once it does start, it runs great! But if I go somewhere and I turn the car off after driving it, good luck getting it started after 30 minutes. Today I stopped at a car meet for an hour and it took a ton of cranks, a couple times it started but then died until eventually it going to where it eventually started and I was able to get home. Also today I noticed more of a gas smell in the cabin than normal. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!  I.e. Gentleman who saw my car said I even had the wrong distributor cap although it’s always ran great for the past two years. If someone can confirm and tell me which one I need, that would be great!

  7. Thank you! I was hoping to see if someone just had one lying around for cheap since I need to refinish all the wheels anyways.
  8. Looking for one bmw cap that will fit a 14in basketweave style rim. If you can ship or happy to pick up if near norther va or Maryland area. Thank you
  9. I did. Unfortunately way out of my budget. But thank you! I just need some that I can restore myself and don’t need them boxed. Thank you though!
  10. Please pm if you have a useable set with your asking price and willing to ship and or near MD 20852
  11. well it’ll be coming from the battery. There is a relay that will be there. I just need a ignition source so it doesn’t drain the battery.
  12. is that 12v ignition source that is unused? If so, I will use that for the compressor as my car will be on an air suspension. Was there a reason you decided to redo it and go a different route?
  13. yeah well that’s why I wasn’t sure where else it would be grounded haha. thank you! I just wasn’t sure if that necessarily the right way. But I guess you’re right, if it works, it works haha.
  14. Hello, this is my first time trying to wire up a stereo. Currently the stereo in there works fine but the wiring is a mess. (Dont know who did it) regardless it appears that it chained into the hazard switch and I’m not even sure if the current unit is grounded. All I see if the antenna hooked up, one wire to red/white wire of the hazard switch and one wire hooked up to the purple/white wire of the hazard switch. It works on ignition as well as when it’s started. I’m installing to a double din jvc unit and I’m not sure if I need fuses. (Maybe a stupid question but I want to do it the right way) would you advise against the current wiring? Everything seems to work well. anyone know what the red,white wire is and what the purple wire are? Not sure what the black wire is as it’s not connected, thought it was the ground but everything still works. The wiring diagram is hard to read in the blue manual book. So it might be easier to ask someone.
  15. Hey all, I just want to make sure I’m getting this right before I spend money welding another strut. I have two struts that are welded for an air ride suspension but their spindles are different. They’re both interchangeable correct? just one is from a earlier year. But I don’t need to have them match, do I? Thanks all!
  16. Hello, yes this ad is up again. Looking for two strut housings with useable clean spindles. Really hope someone can help out here! Thanks as always! Located in Maryland 20852 and or can pay for the shipping. Background: unfortunately things did not go well with the original struts I was able to get from a member on here. The welder completely ruined them and failed to listen to directions. Truly upsetting as I have gone to him before but this time around he completely dropped the ball. I was welding an air ride suspension strut on the originally knuckle hub and one strut he did well but the other one he randomly cut something off since he said it was in his way (without asking me) (yet the first one he did correctly) then he tried a second time and it was skewed and then he tried to fix it a third time and made it shorter then the first strut and skewed again. Never been so upset/disappointed but regardless I have to keep moving forward.
  17. It’s just bc the offset is 13. Typically offset is 25 for 15x7. It would also work at stock height but not if you’re super low.
  18. Unfortunately I decided to go a different route with my car and no longer doing flares with my 2002. Im letting go my brand new refinished set of 15x7 et13 BBS mahle with a new set of toyos (195/45/15). These are a rare set with the mahle stamped on the rim if you’re familiar with these wheels. These wheels have small indents from when I got the tires mounted as I just want to be transparent ahead of time. Otherwise they’re stunning! These were refinished by Frank. They were powder coated and the lip is polished. Comes with genuine center metal caps and I have a set of plastic ones as well without the logo If you have any questions; don’t hesitate to pm me. The set has tires already mounted and balanced. Perfect for someone with flares and or willing to roll the fenders. Not willing to ship. So must be able to pick up. Rockville MD SOLD SOLD SOLD
