    Thanks Tech71! For the windshields-to-go recommendation. A very attractive price, as well. My windshield should be local by 9 May. The salesperson was very helpful with installation tips as well: ) She used to be an installer.

    Great footage! With the new pavement it would have been a perfect time for a rain race before the line gets too polished & slippery again. Thanks for the video. Regards Dono

    It's a '74 without hits, so it should be routine if I need too remove the subframe for the installation of the motor mount reinforcement plate. Thanks! Regards Dono

    Does the front subframe need alignment when installing, or are there fiducials -or tight bolt holes- so it goes back on aligned?

    I have just installed BMW factory rubber bushings in the control arms and subframe. Since the tension rods needed to be removed what is the procedure to tighten them back up in the control arm and subframe? Thank you. Regards Dono

    Good data does rule! I wouldn't start tuning without an AFR and a vacuum gauge. The input has been great here. Several different opposing opinions of end users with the pro's & cons. Regards Dono

    Hello Tom, That is a great argument on keeping what I already have. I like the way you kept the secondary enrichment circuit. It is there for a reason. Thanks! Regards Dono

    It sounds like the quick throttle action is it, and as for the feel: "The 38/38 is more fun." This is really what I am looking for. That seat of the pants kick. It doesn't need to be actually quicker. Thanks! Regards Dono

    Hello, I am looking for an opinion here on whether a 32/36 Weber properly jetted would FEEL as fast a 38/38 Weber, or does anyone know why the 38/38 feels faster? Is it quick throttle action, larger venturi's, and (or) jetting? Fire away. Regards Dono

    It was unbelieveable how much it leaked. Every pump fuel shot out. The car hadn't been started in months after a very damp Winter. I will run some Iso Heet for the water. I also ordered a new pump just as a backup for this 50 year old unit. It was lucky there was no fire with all of the fuel spilled.

    Sealing surfaces had corrosion, scuffed it off, and cleaned gasket. Reassembled and fixed.

    That's the whole pump. I am looking for the gasket that goes under the filter cap. Regards Dono

    My fuel pump -1974 2002- is leaking like crazy from the cap that is held on with a single screw. I believe there is a filter under it. Does anyone know of a replacement filter and gasket? Thanks. Regards Dono

    You spent all that money building all that power... A muffler could be in place of the resonator, and another in the stock location, plus a large case Walker Super Turbo where the license plate was. Try the mufflers Steve K. recommends he's got the job done before, and it can be done again. Another thing is just give up Laguna except for when Speed Ventures or Shelby Club has a Loud day.

    Physically look at at least 5 more 2002's -preferably in his price range- constrast the results with this one. Have a final plan of what you want this car to be. Then create a budget on what it will take to get the car to that point. More times than not a better condition example for more money is the best deal. Paint & body, interiors, trim, motor replacements, and parts aren't cheap anymore as they were before. Even trashed parts cars are going for a lot of money today. Regards Dono

    What are you going to do exactly? Trackdays, wheel to wheel, timed competition? If you are doing wheel to wheel or timed competition backing off is out. Why prepare & pay to lose! Are you going to run Laguna Seca on a 90db day? It will be of benefit to have different exhaust setups for different tracks. This is a challenging engineering problem, because you want it quiet and not eliminate the beautiful power output. The quieter system will add weight. Now for the exhaust strategy. Create a system for the quietest track 1st. Add mufflers in series. Run the largest muffler cases that will physically fit (long & wide). Short small mufflers rob power & don't attenuate sound well. David Vizard has data on this. The further back the mufflers are they will be more effective and less restrictive they will be as the exhaust gasses will have cooled and reduced volume. Mount the final muffler(s) beyond the rear of the car. This way you can remove them for the less sound restrictive venues. For a 2002 this will have at least 3 mufflers. This will make for quiet lowest restriction system. Regards Dono

    Hey Toby, That site is great. It found the 320i release arm 21 51 1 204 229 and the slave cylinder 21 52 1 116 300 (numbers from document "BMW '02 Transmission Upgrades"). The above items were shown fitting e21 & e30. The 320i release bearing 21 51 1 225 168 was not found, since the arm & slave cylinder are the same it is likely the release bearing is as well? A aftermarket part website selling release bearings should confirm this as a search for each may yield the same replacement part. Thanks! Regards Dono

    Nice: )

    Hello All, I am preparing to do a Getrag 240 5 speed swap into a 1974 2002. The 5 speed is from a 318i. The information required at this point is the clutch release fork, slave cylinder, and the release bearing the same as on the 320i with a 245 5 speed? I will be using the stock 1974 clutch. Regards Dono

    I had problems with snap oversteer in the wet -at normal street speeds- with the Kumho TA11's. In the dry they were actually quite good. Not TW200 good, but better than expected. I even did a dry Autocross with them (just to collect points in class). If it weren't on & off wet 5 months out of the year... Phoenix & SoCal they would be good. Regards Dono
